Aquatek bathtubs: features and a variety of models

Almost no bathroom is complete without the main subject - the bath. In many modern apartments, many prefer to install showers, however, this does not allow to fully relax after a hard day's work. We will talk about the features and variety of Aquatek bathtub models.

The company was founded in 2002 and began its journey with the manufacture of acrylic bathtubs. At the moment, the company occupies a leading position in the manufacture of sanitary ware in the domestic market. Product quality is at a high level due to compliance with all technological processes when creating bathtubs.

The company offers a wide selection of models - from standard rectangular to round and corner. When creating products, the company uses German-made acrylic reinforced with fiberglass.

Since the bathtub is the central figure in the bathroom, its choice must be approached very carefully. Due to its large size, the bathtub often “dictates” the interior of the room, since it occupies the largest area. At the moment, the choice of this product is simply huge, and in any plumbing store you can find many different bathtubs that differ in both their shape and the material of manufacture.

The main point when choosing a bath are the dimensions of the room where it will need to be installed. With the classic version of the bathroom, installing a large product will not work. Therefore, in this case, you will have to choose a standard rectangular bathtub, the sizes of which vary from 1500 to 1800 in length and from 700 to 850 in width. The height of such bathtubs is standard - 650 mm.

Choosing the size of the bath, it is necessary to build on the convenience of being in it, otherwise water procedures will not bring any pleasure. It is necessary to choose a bathtub by height so that a person can lie comfortably in it, therefore for people with a height of 170 cm, products with font lengths from 150 to 160 cm are an excellent option. For tall, it is worth choosing more overall models.

Having decided on the sizes, there is an opportunity to reflect on the shape of the product, since on sale you can find:

• round;

• oval;

• corner bathtubs.

Today in stores you can find products from various materials, for example:

• steel;
• acrylic;
• cast iron;
• ceramic;
• kvarilovoy.

Acrylic bathtubs - a new word in the world of plumbing. Choosing this option, you can not worry about the price, since these products can belong both to the high price category and to the low. All this is directly related to the production method and the materials used. Acrylic itself is an elastic and durable look of smooth plastic, but other options may be presented in stores:

• polymethyl methacrylate together with acrylonetrile butadiene styrene;
• polymethyl methacrylate.

Polymethylmethacrylate is an expensive material, but has a very high strength and low degree of water absorption, and also has a glossy surface. Bathtubs, consisting of such material, are 100%, with constant use, they will last 12 years or more, but the cost of such sanitary equipment will be 4 times higher than products, which also include acrylonetrile butadiene styrene.

Aquatek acrylic bathtubs, which are made from ABS / PMMA, have a glossy topcoat of about 5-10% of polymethylmethacrylate. However, such a thickness of the layer over time can quickly wear out. And this is a big minus due to the fact that under the layer of polymethyl methacrylate there is an ABS, which absorbs moisture, due to which the product quickly becomes in a deplorable state and needs to be replaced.

ABS is a hygroscopic material due to its porous structure, therefore, it is used more often as a basis for plumbing, rather than as the top layer of a product. High-quality acrylic bathtubs perform well in operation. Even when the product is completely filled with water, its walls are not deformed, and when high temperature water is used, the coating remains without damage.

If your choice is based on an acrylic bathtub, then you should learn about the method of its technological production, as this directly affects the quality and durability. That is why for permanent use in apartments it is advised to install bathtubs made of 100% polymethyl methacrylate. And when installed in the country, you can save the family budget and mount a bath of polymethyl methacrylate plus acrylonetrile butadiene styrene.

Acrylic can be called an ideal material for designers, because from it you can create a bath of any model for any interior. The advantages of such products can be considered that they retain heat for a long time, therefore, the temperature index of water decreases slowly, which allows not to add constantly hot liquid to raise the temperature. Also, the products have excellent sound insulation, which makes it possible to silently draw water. And the weight of such bathtubs is quite small, and this allows you to mount the product simply and quickly.

The advantages of this material, since this is a type of plastic, can also include it is possible to choose a bright color of the product, and not just the white classics. If the surface was damaged during operation, then acrylic products can be easily restored.Minus material can be considered its slight damage from mechanical stress. therefore Choosing is worth the products of well-established companies.

Another feature of acrylic bathtubs is the presence of some models functions:

• hydromassage;

• air massage;

• chromotherapy.

The presence of such a function as a hydromassage makes it possible to relax while taking a full bath. This effect is created due to the movement of water, which is carried out using compressors built into the bathtub. If there is such a system in the bath, it is necessary to choose products that are equipped with water level sensors so as not to start the compressor ahead of time. The principle of air massage is similar to hydromassage, however, this effect is achieved not due to the movement of water, but because of the circulation of air bubbles.

Chromotherapy allows the inclusion of ultraviolet lamps embedded in the product. The advantage of this relaxation can be considered that the color of the light can be chosen to suit your mood, because lamps of different color spectra are built-in. The presence of these functions is reflected in the cost of the product, so if you are limited in budget, such models should not be purchased.

It is better to buy just a high-quality acrylic bathtub, without additional functions. When deciding on the purchase of an acrylic bath, you should not forget that there are many fakes on the market, therefore it is recommended to purchase products only in branded boutiques or online stores.
