With regard to size and shape, the following four points should be noted.
1. The size of the bathtub should be determined according to the size of the bathroom. If it is determined to install the bathtub in a corner, it is usually said that a triangular bathtub will take up more space than a rectangular one.
2. Bathtubs of the same size do not have the same depth, width, length and profile. If you prefer a deeper bathtub, the outlet will have to be higher.
3. For the bathtub with skirt on one side, when you buy it, you should pay attention to the direction of the skirt according to the position of the water outlet and the wall, and you can't install it if you buy it wrong.
4. If you want to add a shower head on top of the bathtub, the bathtub should be a little wider, and the part of the bathtub below the shower position should be flat, and should be treated with non-slip.
About the material: The bathtubs of different materials have their own different characteristics.
1. Steel plate enamel bathtub: smooth enamel surface, easy to transport, handling, but not resistant to impact, heat preservation is not good.
2. Cast iron bathtub: strong and durable, high gloss, good acid and alkali resistance but bulky, not easy to carry and install.
3. Acrylic bathtub: Variable modeling, light weight, good heat preservation, but because of the hardness is not high, the surface is easy to produce scratches. At present, the market share is relatively large.
4. Pearl bathtub: smooth surface and pearl-like luster, strong and durable, good heat preservation, light weight and easy to install.
Some tips for choosing a bathtub:
