It is for this reason that her choice will be very important. The best solution to this kind of problem may be to buy a stylish Triton bathtub.
A little bit about the brand
Triton is a well-known Russian company that produces bathtubs made of durable acrylic, bathroom furniture, showers, trays and towel dryers. Increased requirements for product quality helped the company reach the level of one of the main and most sought-after manufacturers in the domestic plumbing market. All products from Triton are produced only according to modern advanced technologies, therefore it has many significant positive features over foreign analogues. The Triton plant has been manufacturing plumbing fixtures in Russia for 17 years.
The full production cycle, from the ideas of designers to the production of finished structures, is carried out in Schelkovo, where only the best equipment is used, which fully complies with international quality standards.
Advantages and disadvantages
The base of Triton bathtubs is a premium grade acrylic sheet having a thickness of 5 mm. The main advantages of modern acrylic bathtubs arise from the advantages of the material from which they are produced, namely:
- uniformity of the layer throughout the product;
- the surface is smooth and gloss;
- lack of pores;
- high resistance to rust;
- non-combustible acrylic;
- environmental friendliness;
- strength;
- lightness, therefore this bathtub is easy to transport and move in an oversized room;
- chemical resistance;
- excellent sound insulation properties;
- resistance to UV rays and infrared radiation;
- low thermal conductivity;
- stunning whiteness;

Acrylic models from this manufacturer will last almost 10 years, since acrylic is not erased and can maintain its aesthetic appearance for a long time. The bottom of such bathtubs is corrugated, so the chances of slipping and falling are much less than in products of other companies. When any chips appear, repairing the bathtub is quick and easy, you just need to acquire a special type of polish.
In addition, Triton designs may have additional options that make it possible to build a real SPA salon in your bathroom and supplement the bath with useful procedures. Such products are often equipped with hydromassage and air massage, there is an option for chromotherapy, as well as a complex for heating water, and different types of massage nozzles allow you to perform a massage procedure at least every day.

How to choose?
When choosing a specific model, you should choose its size. There are only two characteristics by which you can determine the size of the desired product, namely:
- bathroom room size - if you have a small bathroom, and you are not going to limit yourself in size, then an asymmetric bathtub with an angular shape may be the best solution;
- the complexion of man himself - if the whole family will actively operate the product, then it is worth considering the physique of all its members when choosing.
An important role in the selection will play the shape of the bath - it can be rectangular or angular symmetrical, as well as asymmetric, round or in the form of a triangle, oval or generally non-standard shape. In the company's catalog you can find any form of bath for the taste of the most demanding consumer. By the way, it’s also good to immediately determine the location of the product in your bathroom, which option is more suitable for you - with the installation on the left side or on the right.
Very popular model with a door. It allows you to easily get out of a deep product, which is extremely important for children or the elderly. The Yenisei bathtub on the frame has a door of this kind, so you should pay attention to it if the high sides of a conventional bathtub make it difficult to exit.
Review Reviews
Increasingly, in the plumbing stores, the object of purchase is the domestic Triton acrylic bathtub. Reviews of experts about it come exclusively positive. There are, of course, undesirable moments. Judging by customer reviews, trouble may occur with the bathroom, namely:
- it may suddenly turn yellow;
- delamination of the acrylic coating may occur;
- small cracks may become noticeable on the product;
- sometimes in the kit there may be no instructions or coupon with a guarantee.
Consider how to act in such unpleasant circumstances.
Professionals recommend: when purchasing such a product, you must immediately clarify the conditions for its subsequent return in the event of a marriage. If the above problems have occurred with the structure, then within 1 year it can be returned back or simply exchanged for another. And also quite often you can meet the following problems with the bathroom from the company "Triton":
- in a “drain-overflow” type device, the handle rotation mechanism often breaks down, in this case it will be necessary to change the entire device at once, since you will not find these parts in stores; this minus can easily be straightened out by an experienced specialist from the service;
- the inside of the acrylic model can easily be scratched; This can only be avoided by carefully handling the device and not using the powder to clean it;
- There are a number of complaints regarding the installation and connection of the product, but this problem can easily be solved by an electrician.
Otherwise, the use of such a design will not cause any special complaints. Since 2013, the factory warranty has increased to 10 years for the bath itself and up to 5 years for all its components, which already indicates the high quality of the company's products.
