Steel baths

Steel enamelled vannybolee cheaper than cast iron. But it should be noted at once some nasty characteristics of steel tanks: they are much faster than cool water, when filled with water, steel baths strongest link, such as a bucket or trough. To avoid this ringing, I recommend installing and connecting the steel bath, so that it move not because of light weight and very strong connection to the bottom of the leg bath tub, preferably at the bottom of the steel bath to put the columns of bricks or foam, and the remaining gap between the repaired foam, pre-fill a bathtub with water to polyurethane foam (when it hardens and dries, it expands and increases in volume), was unable to raise the bath with respect to the support legs to the floor. Also, the adjacency of the upper edges of the tub to the walls we recommend filling with silicone sealant. Modern steel baths long retain shine and whiteness. Steel baths are very light and unstable, so besides the regular mount for mounting a well has to provide additional fastening on the perimeter. And, in general, steel baths are strong enough and comfortable. Weight of a bath of approximately 25-30 kg, the wall thickness 2,5-3 mm. The service life of enameled steel tubs are 15 or more years. Good bath, say, the German firm Kaldewei "have a wall thickness of 3.5 mm, and therefore they do not ring as much. But because of the price most popular domestic or Czech / Polish steel baths thickness 2.3 mm. They made only a standard form as a trough. Finnish, Spanish, French and Italian factories produce durable, having a convenient shape, good enamel and almost similar in design steel bath with wall thickness of 2,5-3 mm. However, many companies guarantee the safety of the original form of steel enamel bath for 15 - 30 years. Steel baths are light weight, 4-5 times less than cast iron tubs. The inner side is covered with high quality enamel bathtubs. Height-adjustable legs from the floor in most models are attached to the tub bilateral soft labels. Leading manufacturers of steel baths are continually expanding their product range and introduced into the polymer material components that help reduce noise and increase the heat capacity of steel tubs. Therefore, a loud booming sound from the blow jets of water on the bottom of the tub in a modern steel bath is much lower, and as bath filling this unpleasant audible sound completely disappears. This sound can be reduced by laying out on the outside of the bath screen is made of bricks or aerated concrete blocks and faced with ceramic tiles, or glue on the bottom of the tub on the back of Sound Attenuated Self-adhesive materials based on polyurethane foam, or foam (so often do manufacturers kitchen sinks made of thin steel 0.4 -0.5 mm). Steel enamel bathtub will cost you (including the cost of bathtubs, delivery, installation and connection) is much cheaper than cast iron. When installing the iron and steel bathtubs, when you make repairs to the bathroom requires a mandatory ground for their case. In Europe, demand for them grows, forcing manufacturers to raise production process in Arts Degree. Previously, welded steel baths of several segments. Modern technology of their manufacture is as follows: under tremendous pressure press at 500 tons of bath extruded from a single piece of steel. Then the steel is treated with acid, after which the pressure chambers it is applied enamel, then at 850 degrees it burns. Especially valuable models are made by hand. At first glance, to distinguish such models from enameled cast iron is very difficult: the enamel is the same and if you do not see the bottom part, even an experienced technician can make a mistake. High-quality bath does not sag or distort. There are models with unsurpassed quality coating, which can not be mechanically separated from the steel. Such enamel ensures better resistance to shock, not responding to chemical and cosmetic substances. Steel baths do not accumulate static electricity.
