In store-salons you can find products made from a wide variety of materials, that's why it is difficult to decide which one is safer and more durable. And you still need to figure it out - nobody wants to install a new bath every 2 ÷ 3 years, throwing money away.

main varieties baths

You can immediately list all the main types of baths according to the material of their manufacture, since not everyone knows that,cast iron, steel and acrylic accessories, are also made of earthenware, glass, kvarilovye and even wooden, copper and marble.

The publication will consider almost all options, however, still the most popular are still cast iron, steel, and more recently also acrylic bathtubs. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to compare their characteristics.

The presented table gives the general comparative information about the basic characteristics of baths, which are most often chosen today by consumers:

Well, now - we will get acquainted with each of the varieties in more detail.

Cast iron bath

Cast iron bath is a time-tested product that has always been known for its reliability and practicality, compared to other materials. It is much heavier than steel or acrylic, but it has its advantages.

The following are the advantages of cast-iron baths:

• It is good enough to keep the heat of the water collected in the bath - much higher than that of steel, but lower than that of acrylics.
• The durability of this material makes it possible to use baths for decades.
• When filling a cast iron bath with water, a small noise level is created.
• Cast iron is resistant to corrosive water, therefore, if accidentally during transport or during operation, a small breakage is formed on the enamel surface, there will be no rust on it, and therefore its spread to the rest of the surface is excluded.
• Cast-iron bath is not the lowest price, but its simplest version is quite affordable for a family with an average income.

Cast-iron baths can be called the best option for those who like to acquire practical and durable things.

The drawbacks of cast iron products are also to be noted:

• The most famous drawback of these baths is the very large weight, which greatly complicates the transportation and elevation to high floors. Doing these operations yourself will not work, you need several assistants. In addition, to install such a heavy bath requires a particularly reliable base and supports.
• The internal enamel coating of cast iron baths is not very reliable, and can easily be damaged by accidental shocks.
• The shape of the vast majority of cast-iron products is not distinguished by its variety. They are usually produced in a fairly limited size series.

Parameters of cast iron baths and additional elements

The cast iron bath is typically 1500 × 700 or 1700 × 750 mm. Each model has its own mass - it can vary depending on the manufacturer of the product.

• Bathtub length of 1500 mm is considered, rather, a sedentary model, so it will not give you the opportunity to stretch out to the full height - it can take water procedures only while sitting.
• Bath length of 1700 mm - more comfortable, especially for people with high growth. In it you can lie down, stretching your legs, and get full pleasure from water procedures.

The weight of the structure should be emphasized. So, the old Soviet sessile bath had a weight of about 100 kg. Modern technologies have allowed it to be reduced somewhat, and today bowls of the same size of Russian production weigh 87 ÷ 90 kg, and foreign - 70 ÷ 75 kg.

Full-scale spacious baths measuring 1700 × 700, 1700 × 750 and 1700 × 800 mm, with a wall thickness of 5 mm, weigh from 120 to 130 kg. In connection with the impressive massiveness, for a cast iron bath you will need reliable strong legs.

It should be said about the additional elements that have acquired modern products:

• If before handles and holders were not provided in the designs of cast-iron baths, today they are included in a set of almost all models. This element adds comfort when immersed in water and when lifting from it. Especially they are necessary for the elderly or for those who suffer from excessive weight.
• Some models of baths except handles are equipped with anti-slip coating, headrests and armrests. There are models of cast-iron baths, allowing them to equip them with hydromassage functions.

Manufacturers of cast iron baths

It is possible to list the most famous foreign manufacturers that represent their products on the Russian market and are deservedly popular:

• "Devon & Devon"( Italy).
• "Porcher and Jacob Delafon"( France).
• Roca( Spain).
• Goldman( China) - this company represents products that have the most affordable price.

As an example, you can consider some of the options produced by the above-mentioned manufacturers.

As a rule, foreign manufacturers make exclusive baths, so they have a fairly high price. For example, this model belongs to the category of "luxury" and is chosen for a spacious room of the bathroom, as it is not designed for tight adherence to the wall.

The manufacturer makes baths in the form of a font with raised side edges. Basically, they all have an internal white coating, and the outer surface is finished in a different color.

There are also more expensive models, decorated both outside and inside the hand-painted, usually custom-made, with a certain plot pattern.

Some models of baths of this manufacturer have metal figured legs, made in the form of paws. This element gives the bathroom a more chic, rich appearance, but such models installed in the bathrooms of standard apartments will look somewhat ridiculous.

This company produces bathtubs of various shapes and sizes - in the form of a font, standard rectangular, concave from one or both sides and other configurations. Dimensions may differ from standard ones, for example, the photo shows an option that has dimensions of 1400 × 750 mm. The bottom of some baths is equipped with an anti-slip design. All models of this company are equipped with metal handles, and some versions have headrests and armrests.

Roca bathtubs are comfortable and reliable in operation. They are manufactured in accordance with modern design trends and with the use of advanced technologies, so as a result, high-quality products are obtained, which are in high demand.

This French company also produces various models of bathtubs - from exclusive to quite budgetary options. They can be oval or rectangular in shape and equipped with an anti-slip coating and metal handles. For installation, figured legs or a metal construction with shielding screens may be provided.

Exclusive models are applied to drawings - in this case, a snow-white bathtub decorated with an orchid flower is shown.

The products are famous for their high quality, they are ergonomically designed and original, designed for standard rooms of apartments, and for spacious bathrooms in private houses.

The Chinese company Goldman has been operating on the Russian market for more than eight years, and European consumers have been using its products for a longer time. Cast iron baths of this manufacturer differ in that they have thinner walls, due to which their weight is reduced. But, despite this, they have good wear resistance and strength.

Baths are of different sizes and can have different, both traditional and very original shapes. The manufacturer gives a guarantee for its products for a period of 25 years, and at the same time the price for it is significantly lower than that of other foreign companies. This is just the case when the expression "Chinese" does not at all mean "low-quality".

Criteria for selecting a cast iron bath

When choosing a cast iron bath, you need to pay attention to some of the nuances:

• The first thing you need to do is to cover the bath with a hand. It should be perfectly smooth, without any rough edges.
• You should carefully study the coating visually - it should not even have small cracks and chips. It is recommended to pay special attention to the drainage area, since it is the most problematic - it is there that such flaws firstly form.
• Next, it is recommended to examine the outside of the walls of the bath - it should also not show any unevenness. Its quality speaks about the conscientiousness of the manufacturer and the quality of the products.
• It is very important to check the evenness of the bathtub shapes - its edges should not have any irregularities, not provided by the design, and the angles, if it is a rectangular model, should be straight.
• Then it is necessary to check the completeness of the bath, that is, what elements are included in the kit. You should choose an option equipped with standard legs, so you do not have to buy them separately and choose a specific model.
• If the bathroom set does not include a frame or legs, but really liked its shape, then it's better to pick up all the accessories to it right away.

It should be remembered that, alas, not all cast-iron baths are of high quality even with impeccable appearance. Some unscrupulous manufacturers make the enamel coating of the walls and the bottom of the bowl much thinner than stated in the product certificate, which significantly shortens the period of its operation. For example, many Turkish baths are blamed for the fact that their coating, good-looking, quickly cracked, and the product itself comes into a non-working condition.

However, not only the thickness of the walls is important for the duration of operation of the bath, it is important and the quality of the cast iron itself. Check it in the store - it's impossible, so all the same it is worth giving preference to proven foreign or Russian manufacturers.

Steel baths

Steel baths are the most affordable option, and with careful use, such a product can last a fairly long period.

. The positive qualities of products made of this material include the following:

• Similar baths have a small weight, which is, depending on the size and configuration of the model, from 30 to 50 kg.
• Steel baths are manufactured in various shapes and sizes. Due to a wide assortment it is always possible to choose the right variant for a bathroom of a certain planning.
• Enamel coating is applied with high temperatures, so it does not exfoliate.
• Baths covered with enamel, resistant to alkali and acids, they do not cause harm to any detergents, except abrasive.
• Specialists often advise that when choosing between an acrylic and a steel bath, it is better to stop at the latter. An inexpensive good quality steel product can last for many years, and acrylic, produced by an unknown person, is likely to quickly disappoint.

The disadvantages of steel baths can be called the following qualities, which are often manifested during operation:

• High noise level when filling the bowl with water.
• Steel has a high thermal conductivity, so the water in such a bathroom quickly cools.
• In case of accidental shocks or other mechanical effects on the enamel, cracks and chips may form. And on these chips or with a poor-quality enamel coating, foci of rust can form.
• Under heavy loads, walls made of thin steel can deform.
• It's quite difficult to restore a steel bowl - this process will cost about the same amount as a new bath.

Sound insulation of steel bath

To solve a problem of a high level of the noise created at water recruitment in a steel bath it is possible in several ways which are quite accessible for performance in house conditions.

• One option is to purchase ready-made pads that are glued in several places on the bathtub from the outside or only in the area of ​​the drain hole, as shown in the illustration:

• The second option for reducing noise is gluing to the outsidebowl of foamed polyethylene foam with a self-adhesive surface. This, by the way, simultaneously increases the thermal insulation of the bath, which will contribute to a longer cooling of the hot water collected in it.

• Another material that is often used for bath thermal insulation and noise reduction is a mounting foam. It is distributed over the outer surface of the bowl in an even layer. Thanks to the excellent adhesion and volumetric expansion, the foam forms a sealed "coat", which for a long time will keep the water hot and will muffle the sound of the jet striking the metal walls.

mounting foam. From the above, it follows that the high noise level of the steel bath can be completely prevented, therefore, such a defect can not be considered significant.

Manufacturers of steel baths

When choosing a steel bath, special attention is paid to one of the most important parameters - the thickness of the steel from which it is made. To determine the approximate thickness of the material, the product should simply be tried to move. If this was not easy, then its walls have the necessary thickness of 3.5 mm, and its mass is about 50 kg. Well, if at a size of 1700 × 700 mm the weight of the bath is about 20 kg, and it easily shifts from the place, then the quality, for sure, leaves much to be desired, and the walls are not thick enough.

A wide range of steel baths of various configurations are available, from standard to angled, coated with white or colored enamel. There are bathtubs made of stainless steel.

Its products are domestic and foreign manufacturers, so you can always find a suitable option that will satisfy all existing requests. Each company produces baths by its own technology, so the products have different operational parameters. For example, the most popular foreign manufacturers in the domestic market are baths with different wall thicknesses:

• "Emalia"( Poland) ÷ 1.6 mm.
• "Estap"( Spain) ÷ 2.3 mm.
• "Gala"( Spain) ÷ 2 mm.
• "BLB"( Portugal) ÷ ​​3-3.5 mm.
• «Kaldewei»( Germany) - 2,3 ÷ 3,5 mm.

The enamel coating on these models is no more than 0.6 mm.

In Russia, steel baths produce several plants. So, consumers enjoy the products of the pipe factory in Lipetsk( JSC "Santa Holding") and Verkh-Isetsky Metallurgical Plant in Yekaterinburg( VIZ).The thickness of the walls of domestic baths is mostly 3.5 mm.

Models of baths of foreign manufacturers

A few words about the models of steel baths, which can be found in Russian stores.

• Kaldewei

The German company Kaldewei is the leader in the quality of products and the breadth of the assortment. So, in 2014 the model range of this company totaled 211 products.

Baths of this company have high strength and have proven themselves as luxury products. The company's specialists have developed their own "recipe" for enamel coating, which when combined with high-temperature processing is combined with a steel sheet into a single whole, that's why it is often called "steel enamel".The manufacturer guarantees the durability of the coating, which is resistant to temperature changes and the use of any household chemicals. Enamel over time does not turn yellow and does not become stained, and the product itself is not subject to deformation. The guaranteed lifetime of the baths the manufacturer estimated at 30 years.

As an example one can consider one of the numerous models of this manufacturer - "Classic Duo Oval 112".It is manufactured in different sizes and can have different depths: 1600 × 700;1700 × 750;1800 × 800 mm.

The bathtub is made of steel with a thickness of 3.5 mm and is designed for installation in the podium. The set does not include legs and elements of drain-overflow, so they will need to be purchased separately. The inner surface has an anti-slip and water-repellent coating.

Perhaps, the only drawback of this bath can be called only that the components will have to be purchased independently. However, if you look at this fact on the other hand, then the buyer is given the opportunity to pick them up to their taste and reasonable price.

This model can not be called inexpensive, but the company produces simple baths of standard shape, which cost not much more than domestic ones with very high quality of performance.

• Company "BLB"

This Portuguese company produces baths with a wall thickness of mainly 3 mm, and luxury products have 3.5 mm. Coating of surfaces with enamel occurs by the method of baking, so it is resistant to various possible impacts, including mechanical ones. The lifetime of its product, the manufacturer identified in 20-25 years. The assortment of models of baths of this company is various - beginning from standard and finishing with volumetric baths designed for two.

As an example, you can consider a sedentary version of the Europa MINI bath, which has a size of only 1050 x 700 mm. This bath is great for small standard bathrooms, when they are conceived to be combined with a toilet or simply to make more spacious.

This model is good for if the family has small children, and it will be convenient for the elderly, since it provides a high seating position.

• "Emalia"

The Polish company "Emalia" has been producing steel bathtubs since 1964.The assortment does not differ in a special variety of forms. Products have a rectangular shape with a length of 1000 to 1800 mm, a width of 700 to 800 mm, a depth of 360 to 400 mm.

. The baths are designed for installation on special feet, adjustable in height, so they can easily be mounted even on uneven flooring. In addition to baths, the manufacturer offers metal and acrylic screens, which need to be purchased separately, if necessary.

Baths have a high enough reliability, are able to withstand a large load without damage and deformation. Enamel on the surface is applied by sputtering in several layers, and then the product goes through the firing process, which gives strength to the created coating. The weight of such steel baths, depending on the size, varies from 30 to 40 kg.

The price of the products of the Polish manufacturer, with excellent quality - is very "democratic", so they are very popular both in their home country and in the Russian market.

Models of Russian manufacturers

Steel baths produced in Yekaterinburg are distinguished by their high resistance to various influences, mechanical loads and to abrasion of the enamel surface. The most popular models of this manufacturer are "Antika" and "Donna Vanna".

These models have standard rectangular shapes, but differ in the color variety of the enamel coating. The manufacturer gives a warranty for its products for 10 years, and the estimated total life is estimated to be no less than 15 years. An important advantage of domestic products is a more affordable price compared to imported products, with no less than high quality and reliability.

Baths produced by JSC "Santa-Holding" in Lipetsk are distinguished by their reliability and durability, although they are also not famous for their variety of shapes. At this enterprise, bathtubs are produced in two standard sizes 1500 × 700 and 1700 × 750 mm. However, despite the lack of a variety of design solutions, they are popular, because they have an affordable price in combination with high quality.

All domestic products are made of steel sheet having a thickness of at least 3-3.5 mm, so the service life of such bathtubs is quite long and considerably exceeds that guaranteed by the manufacturer. In addition, the baths of domestic production are ideal for the standard sizes of bathrooms in flats of apartment buildings.

Criteria for selecting steel baths

In order not to be mistaken when choosing a steel bath, since it is difficult to determine its quality visually, it is possible to rely on some tricks to understand how reliable the product is.

• First - it is necessary to determine the approximate weight of the bath( try to move it from its place).
• Further, there is a revision of the enamel coating - it should not have any streaks and rips, and also such flaws as cracks and chips. The surface of the bath should be smooth, and the enamel is distributed throughout the area evenly.

• Then, it is necessary to find out immediately whether additional elements are included in the kit with the bathroom: drain-overflow, legs, soundproofing kit, and also a side screen. All these components or some of them may have to be purchased separately, which will entail additional costs, which also need to be taken into account.

In summarizing the steel products, we can say that they have the most affordable price, lighter in weight than the cast-iron baths, and somewhat heavier than acrylic. These baths have a high enough strength and can safely last 20 years or more. Noisiness and high thermal conductivity of steel bathtubs, which all put a number of their shortcomings, are completely remedied by ways available to each owner. Therefore, if there is a desire to save, the steel bath will be an ideal choice.

Acrylic baths

Acrylic is a fairly new material from which to produce baths, but such products have already won the recognition of many consumers. Qualitatively produced acrylic bath, having a wall thickness of at least 5 mm and installed by all rules, should last a long time.

The product manufactured by a bona fide manufacturer with respect to all technologies has many positive qualities. Here it is possible to relate:

• Variety of models in shapes and colors.
• Equipment of the bowl with various additional functions, such as hydromassage, headrests and armrests and handles. Often, a mounting platform is provided for installing mixers and a shower.
• Long-term storage of hot water temperature.
• Pleasant to the touch surface.
• Shock resistance( within certain limits).
• Simplicity of restoration works.

There are baths made of acrylic and its drawbacks:

• Acrylic can easily be scratched with a sharp object with inaccurate handling.
• The material may react with some of the solvents.
• In order to preserve the surface, it is not recommended to soak the laundry in an acrylic bath for a long time.
• The bowl of not too high-quality products can be deformed under the influence of high temperatures or an excessively large weight load.

Acrylic bathtubs have their own features

If it is decided to choose this type of bathtub for installation, then you should get more detailed information about these products. Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, rules for acrylic baths are devoted to a separate article of our portal.

In addition to the above-mentioned, the most popular materials for making baths, others are also used, which are less well known, but also deserve attention. Perhaps, someone will want to get such an unusual copy for his new bathroom.

Kvarilnye baths

Kvarilnye baths are made of two component components - quartz and acrylic, therefore they do not need additional reinforcement. Such products are slightly heavier than acrylic, however, much lighter than cast-iron ones. The technology of production of such baths allows them to give them a variety of forms. They are highly resistant to all types of thermostatically possible impacts.

Quarry products are often produced in a single form, that is, they do not even have holes for drain-overflow. This means that they can be adjusted to any already installed scheme of water distribution and sewerage. Of course, it is better to entrust this operation to a master who will drill even holes and seal them in the necessary elements.

Kvaril has a low thermal conductivity, so hot water in such a bath will cool down long enough.

Kvaril, as well as acrylic, is pleasant to the touch and has a perfectly smooth surface. Baths from this material can be installed in the frame, as well as acrylic bowls, but are often mounted without it. Frameless installation became available due to the fact that quarle has a higher strength.

Kvaril baths, in fact, all are good, but frightens off their rather high cost.

Glass baths

Glass baths are rarely seen in the interior of standard apartments. If they are acquired, it is only for exclusive, rich interiors of spacious private mansions. Products from glass can have different sizes and shapes, they harmoniously fit into any style of decoration due to its transparency.

Such baths are made of thick impact-resistant tempered glass with well-worked edges that are perfectly smooth to the ideal smoothness.

. Usually, glass is chosen for rooms in eco-style, which is now used by many and decorates their homes with completely natural materials, combining them. However, it should immediately be noted that such home decorating requires a very impressive cost. For example, the price for the simplest glass baths starts from 100,000 rubles.

The fragile at first glance glass bowl has technical characteristics that are not inferior to models made from more familiar materials:

• The high impact resistance of tempered glass allows products to withstand the effects of temperature changes and mechanical influences.
• The smoothness of the surface of the glass makes it easy to slide water from them, so there is no calcareous deposits on the walls for a long time. If you follow the rules of proper care for glass walls, they will always look perfect.
• Thick glass has a low thermal conductivity, so hot water does not reduce the temperature for a long time.
• No detergents, acids or any other chemicals are harmful to this material.

The glass bath has practically no drawbacks, except for a very high price. Such a product will last a very long time without causing any problems to its owner.

Earthenware baths

The first faience bath was made in the XVIII century, but due to its impracticality and fragility of this material, and as the appearance of cast-iron products, this practice was abandoned after a century. But in our time, there is a renewed demand for similar products - modern technologies have made it possible to minimize a number of shortcomings.

The remaining not completely "vanquished" fragility and a very high price for faience baths are their main disadvantages, but, you will agree, they are very significant. In other respects, faience is ideal for making baths:

• The material has a low thermal conductivity, so it retains heat for a long time.
• The smooth inner surface is pleasant to the touch, thanks to this, it is very pleasant to take water procedures in such a bath.
• If you handle this product neatly, not dropping heavy objects into it and not filling it with too hot water, the bath can last for many years.

Earthenware baths are piece products, they are made to order or in very small batches. Usually their outer surface is painted in different pastel colors, so the product has an aesthetic and respectable appearance.

You can see that it is unlikely that a faience bath will look properly in a small standard room of a high-rise building. Rather, it is designed for a spacious bathroom, which will not only be a functional element, but also a decorative decoration.

Wooden baths

Wooden bath can be called exotic in modern houses and apartments. Many do not even suspect that such accessories can be made of this natural material.

Such baths are produced in the singular or in extremely limited series, as this is a very laborious process that requires considerable time and special technological methods of wood processing. In order to make a wooden bath, moisture resistant rocks such as larch, teak, mahogany or wenge are used. Almost all of this wood is used in shipbuilding, and baths are done on the same principle. Wooden bowls can be made from a single piece of wood or they are assembled and glued from specially prepared parts that are tightly pressed together, and after the glue dries, the surface is thoroughly ground. Further, wood is impregnated with various water-repellent and environmentally friendly means - it can be a water-based lacquer or a hot wax that absorbs well into the structure of the tree and forms a protective layer on its surface. For the treatment of wood, compositions are used to help preserve the texture pattern of the material and its color.

Wooden bathtubs are made in various shapes - they can be like a boat with smooth shapes, be square with straight angles, round or have other interesting configurations. Very often wooden bathtubs are made individually to order - in this case, the customer himself determines what form it will have.

Wooden bathtubs - a large number of advantages:

• Water treatments that are taken in wooden bathtubs, cause only positive emotions and have a beneficial effect on both the psychological and physical state of a person. The tree has an amazing property of "sharing" with a person its strength, giving it the "health impulse".
• Modern wooden bathtubs, if desired, can be equipped with hydromassage, aeromassage and aromatherapy.
• From a technical point of view, the wooden font is very durable, it is not afraid of mechanical influences, it will not break if it drops an object, and its surface will not crack with time.
• If properly processed, wood does not swell from moisture and does not crack when dry, retaining its original appearance for many years.

However, there are limitations in the use of wooden products, in order to maintain their long-term preservation:

• It is not recommended to bathe in wooden animal baths.
• When cleaning bathtubs, follow the instructions from the manufacturer, treat this process with extreme caution, so as not to damage the water repellent coating. Do not use for cleaning products, including abrasive components.

Marble Bath

These baths are made of natural or artificial marble. Naturally, such products have a very high price, especially those that are ground from a single piece of rock. Artificial marble is made by making a special composition, which includes marble chips, acrylic and special dyes. Thus, a material is created that simulates the drawing of any natural stone, be it marble, onyx, malachite and others.

It should be noted that products made of artificial marble are much stronger than natural ones, since the real stone is fragile enough, especially after it is processed to achieve a certain shape.

A marble bath can be safely described as an excess that wealthy people who have everything they need for a comfortable life can afford and who lack only this accessory for complete happiness.

This functional element will really look at its place, if you make the room in the appropriate design, in which the marble bath will become the center of attraction of the look.

Copper baths

Copper baths have been made for a long time, but with the advent of new, more accessible and practical materials, they have practically ceased to be used. Today such products are returned, as completely "vintage" elements in the interior, decorated in a certain style. They have a very refined original look, so they need to calculate the design of the entire bathroom room.

Copper baths are usually given an oval shape, they have a fairly large depth. The material itself has a high heat capacity and keeps heat well, so you do not have to pour hot water constantly. In addition, copper has pronounced antibacterial qualities that favorably affect water, and, therefore, the condition of the person taking water procedures.

Copper baths are durable, as they tolerate mechanical loads and influence of external influences. For the material, simply take care of using a soft cloth and detergent that does not have any abrasive ingredients in its composition.

So, the modern range of bathtubs is very wide and varied. Any consumer has the opportunity to choose the right option, suitable for him on all parameters, both in terms of quality and ease of use, and in terms of price accessibility.
