Select a bath - it's not easy, but quite frankly, difficult and troublesome. Let's try to help you acquainted with the primary market of bathrooms in Russia ... Old acquaintances These baths are familiar with all the inhabitants of the Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. It is these baths were in the apartments that we or our parents are free from the state. There was no alternative for many years and so many of us have even done a complete renovation in their apartment, but did not manage until now to change the bath. It is fair to say that the cast-iron baths are still willing to enjoy the whole world, and if the bath is also a Jacuzzi, in Europe it will cost you quite dearly. Why? Cast iron is resistant to corrosion, retains heat well. If you like half an hour before bedtime to relax in warm water, this bath for you. Most of the cast-iron baths in our market is still domestic. It is not surprising. Who will carry from abroad heavy cast iron bath? The more so because iron in our country per capita has always had more than bananas and kiwi. On the other hand, if you demand a quality enamel, or prefer a bath, designed not so much looked like a rustic trough of the last century, then to import proposals should pay attention. Cheap, easy and not at all angry! Steel baths are cheap and easy to move. But this lightness and precarious: some are suspiciously undignified, and even the water is poured into them with this ring, all the neighbors will know when you take a bath. However, on import baths installed rubber grommets to eliminate this effect, but gulkost still remains. In addition, the steel cools very quickly and therefore not suitable for lovers lie down for an hour in the foaming waters. However, to give steel font - a wonderful thing. It easily can be set up on the roof of conventional Zhiguli tied to the trunk, and then set the house without any problems. Steel is easy to bend, so the bath of her doing a completely different designs. Do good bathrooms thickness of steel not less than 3,5 mm. They stand, respectively, more expensive. The highest quality products are a German company Kaldewei (Kaldewei). At first glance, this bath is difficult to differentiate from the iron: enamel is the same, but if you do not see the bottom, neemalirovannuyu, a part of, even expert can be wrong. How do you determine that it is steel? Tap on the edge - and hear a tin sound. The new one is better ...? Acrylic bathtubs in the Russian market appeared later than others. but in large quantities and on a wide variety of manufacturers. However, as it turns out, there is no great difference - the entire acrylic sheet for baths made to date in the Netherlands. There, in a country of tulips and windmills, and generated the majority of acrylic baths, which are sold in our stores. The logical question is: What do they differ? It turns out that grade acrylic, design, and the layers of reinforcement. Pro design is clear. But with acrylic and reinforced need to understand. So, what is acrylic, or scientific, metaakrilat? Scientists argue that it is a synthetic polymer, a product of polymerization of acrylic esters, colorless sticky rubbery substance that is resistant to oxygen, chemicals and light. That is, quite simply, plastic. As it turned out, a bath of acrylic done something like this: you take acrylic sheet is heated and then with the help of special vacuum chambers of it is blown trough the desired shape. The thickness of the sheet is different, as the quality of the acrylic. A bona fide manufacturers of acrylic thickness not less than 5-6 mm. Ironically, the better the acrylic, the worse it bends, so the bathroom particularly intricate designs are acrylic on quality worse. Beauty requires sacrifice. After the trough arched, use it as a bath until you can not: acrylic behaves like an ordinary plastic basin, bend in all directions, and poured water from the swells like a balloon. Therefore, the workpiece must diligently to strengthen or - as they say industrials - reinforced. At the factory of the Austrian company Pamos (Pamos), this work is done manually. Experienced Austrian masters were coated bottom surface of the acrylic bath special version of epoxy resin, which otverdevaya, binds Aquatic plastic. The procedure is somewhat similar to the imposition of gypsum in travmopunkte. 2-3 coats of a mixture of fiberglass with the resin - and the bath becomes an extraordinary stability. The thicker the reinforcement, the bath is better. The number of layers, which strengthened the tub at the factory, it is easy to determine, having carefully considered the edge of a side. Layers are clearly visible, as the annual rings in wood. Can and knock. The greater the number of layers, the muffled sound. Sonority and delicacy are not welcome here. Nevertheless, some manufacturers save it for reinforcement, and will sell you a bath, which will walk by itself. Feeling, I must say, disgusting. Many buyers chasing cheap, podlyanku discover too late, when the bath beneath them suddenly spreading, and a ton of foamy water like a tsunami swept away into oblivion all just finished renovation. Thus, stained (in the literal sense of the word) his reputation, some Turkish and Italian firms supplying acrylic baths in Russia. What are the advantages of acrylic bathtubs? What will be, for example, if you drop a steel or cast iron tub that some iron? Fragile enamel immediately otkoletsya. Moreover, on the steel surface will also dent. Subject whether it's some kind of resuscitation? Hardly. Damaged bath proemalirovat can try again, but to its original appearance you have will never go back. With acrylic - you need only a little deeper incised every crack around the split, pour it all acrylic and sand. There will be no traces. In general. Moreover, repair kits for acrylic sold in the same stores as the bath. Special skill is not necessary, the entire restoration will happen quite inexpensive and very fast. In addition, modern technologies provide to you: abrasion resistance (good acrylic bathtub virtually immortal); insulation and sound insulation (heat retention of water and low noise level in its gaining about the same as in cast-iron tubs); painlessly as possible restoration. The choice is yours! Limitless design possibilities In addition to variety of materials, bath in Moscow shops are different set of design tweaks. It turns out that bathtubs can be round, square, oval and triangular. There are two baths, baths with handles and armrests, as well as baths with ladder and transparent portholes in the sides. In addition, the bath today, you can buy almost any color or even paint on order at any come to mind shade. Including the color of the hip startled nymph. Afterword recently appeared on the market yet another new material for bathtubs - Qari (Quaryl) - a mixture of quartz and acrylic. Quartz increases the strength of acrylic, and reinforcement was no longer required at all. Where quartz grains are round, and each is located in an acrylic capsule and the space between them is filled with acrylic. Qari retains all the positive properties of acrylic but unlike acrylic baths from him by doing the casting. Damage the surface of quartz is almost impossible: accidentally fallen into the bath and the subject does not leave a trace on new-fangled stuff. Bath of quarks heavier than acrylic, but still lighter than cast iron. Due to its hardness kvarilovye bath can be used in the design of clean lines, without roundness characteristic of the usual curved plastic. This is important if obkladyvaetsya bath tiles - you can minimize the seams. Novelty is introduced in the Russian market the German company Ukosan (Ucosan). Buy a bath of Kwara today can be in the salons of Villeroy and Boch (Villeroy & Boch), and nowhere more so far.
