Modern work brings bigger pressure and faster pace of life. Many people would like to take a bath after exhausting work. Most families use showers. Then more and more families began to use freestanding bathtub. How to choose a suitable freestanding bathtub? Let's talk together today.

Freestanding bathtubs are of different styles and materials. There are traditional bathtubs and massage bathtubs. Massage bathtub consists of vortex type, bubble type and combination type. One must specify the type according to his own needs. Before buying a whirlpool, text the volume in advance. If the motor noise is too loud, bathing becomes a burden rather than enjoyment.

 

Steel plate, cast iron and acrylic are common material for freestanding bathtubs. Among these materials, cast iron are the best. Then the acrylic and steel plates. There were many freestanding bathtubs made of ceramic. But ceramic is no longer a mainstream material.

 

There are two ways to judge the quality of bathtub materials. One is the smoothness of the surface: touch it with your hand to judge. Especially for freestanding bathtubs made of steel plate and cast iron. You can touch the slight ripples of bad enamel. The second is the firmness of the surface: the quality and thickness of the material are related to the firmness of the bathtub. Visual inspection can not give right estimate. When purchasing, you must press it with your hands. Step on it with your feet. Do these under the condition of gravity. You can stand in and feel whether it sink. If it sinks, it means the hardness is not enough. You can choose others.

 

Another key point of choosing a detached bathtub is the size choice. The size and installation location of the bathroom may influence the choice. Rectangular bathtubs will save more space than triangular bathtubs in corners. Bathtubs of the same size have different depths, widths, lengths and contours. Deeper water means higher position of the overflow. Some bathtubs have a slate on one side. You should pay attention to the position of water outlet and wall surface. Or you can not install it. Some people like to install a shower head on top of the bathtub. They should choose slightly wider bathtub. The bathtub part under the shower position should be flat. The bathtub must be anti-skid. Or it is easy to fall over. Then the loss outweighs the gain.

The bathroom decoration style and personal hobbies are important too. You can determine the color and style of the bathtub with them. Some consumers pursue individuality. They can choose white and gray freestanding bath. Then the whole bathroom will present high-level.

 

The last point in choosing an independent bathtub is after-sales service. Product quality and cost performance are important factors. So is after-sales service. For example, whether to provide on-site measurement service during installation. Whether it offer the installation service. What is the shelf life of maintenance, etc. We must understand.

Well, these are the purchasing skills for freestanding bathtubs. Have you learned them?
