The type of material is a major deciding factor which
determines our purchases. The cost of the purchase, maintenance and durability
also influence what we finally buy. The similar considerations are observed when
in the market for a bathtub. The substance which the bathtub is constructed of makes
a prime factor in the choice and influences final decision.
Bathtubs are mainly constructed out of metal, acrylic,
composites and polymers. Out of all these, acrylic bathtubs are most favoured
for their extreme durability, lightweight, price and flexible options for
style. Being easy to maintain and cost-effective, bathtubs made out of acrylic hold
heat well and are effortless to clean as well.
The following are the top advantages that make acrylic
bathtubs so popular of a choice among homeowners
-
§
Flexibility of design
The variance of shape and sizes to be obtained in the form of
acrylic bathtub is a prime factor that makes the material a favourite choice
among homeowners. The soft and malleable nature of the sheets of acrylic from
which tubs are constructed makes it possible to lay out the same in designs of
varied intricacy and complication. Suited for the varied client requirements, acrylic
bathtubs can be constructed of almost any shape and size as the bathtub mould accommodates any design
input.
§
Ease of maintenance
The smooth nature of the acrylic surface makes the bathtubs
constructed safely from excessive staining thus reducing the need for maintenance.
The colours on the acrylic material are not any surface painted ones as the
nature of the material allows the colour to penetrate the layers of acrylic thus
making the surface scratch free. The high-gloss finish of the acrylic bathtubs
makes the overall constructions very pleasing and aesthetic.
§
Heat-retaining property
Acrylic is a material with exceptional heat retaining
capabilities. The material allows heat to be retained for longer periods thus
being efficient and cost-effective for utilization. The bathtubs made out of
acrylic are capable to retain heat well and thus water will remain warmer for
longer periods. This is very useful for those residing in colder areas and
during winter times.
§
Durability
Most acrylic bathtubs come with a reinforced structure where
fibreglass sheets are used for added strength. The durability of the material makes
the tub holds its exact shape for extended spans thus making these bathtubs
safe to be used for decades.
§
Lightweight construction
As compared to cast-iron tubs and other bathtubs made of
varied materials, acrylic bathtubs are very lightweight. This makes the tub easy
to be shifted across the floor whenever required and also you required comparatively
little floor support to hold its weight.
