If during the repair of the bathroom it is decided to install a steel bath, then you should carefully consider its choice. This will help a really high -quality product.
Today, such baths are in fairly great demand, since their cost is much lower than the price of acrylic or cast -iron baths. In addition, the service life is the same, and sometimes in one or another characteristics, steel baths surpass many other models. In addition, now there is a fairly large selection of models regarding design, coverage flowers.
If you select the bath in the premises already prepared for installation (that is, there is already repair), then you should carefully consider the choice of the color scheme of the model. White color is suitable for any interior.
When buying, you must definitely ask the sales consultants about the thickness of the steel. The thickness of the product should be at least 3 mm, and better – 4 mm, since during loads the bath should not bend. Otherwise, it can be deformed, and the enamel will be very cracked.
Particular attention should be paid to the coating. Enamel should not have chips. The quality of the coating is of great importance. You need to ask sellers to show a quality certificate, find out about the manufacturer. It will not be superfluous to study the issue using the Internet, go to the manufacturers’ website, read reviews.
The advantages of models made of steel include:
– quite affordable cost;
– high strength characteristics;
– relatively small weight compared to cast iron analogues;
– simplicity of installation;
– Large selection of models.
Nevertheless, there is one drawback – a fairly fast heat transfer, but this is easily eliminated. In addition, when water is gained in the bath, a fairly large noise is heard, but this is not of fundamental importance for many people. It bothers someone, someone does not notice. You can soften a little noise if you install, for example, showers.
Before installing a bath, you can blow out the surface from the outside with a simple mounting foam. Due to this, the noise level during the water set is reduced and the heat transfer is significantly reduced. In addition, a layer of bricks is sometimes laid out under the bottom of such a bath, due to which its stability improves and the likelihood of bottom deformation is prevented.
