The development direction of the world bathtub is to the simplification and overall development,
China’s early 90s glass fiber reinforced plastic bathtub is the most simple single cylinder,
the middle of the emergence of acrylic and cast iron cylinder.
Cast iron is difficult to process, bulky, not heat preservation;
acrylic processing is convenient, lightweight, heat preservation, so a wind surged worldwide.
And acrylic forming process is poor, in order to mention the competitiveness of the industry,
enterprises to change the appearance of the product and promote the development of enterprises,
to about 2003, minimalism to the market,
thus forming a branch of the bathtub, classical cylinder, modern cylinder,
and now acrylic bathtub through about ten years of development, has reached the peak,
it is difficult to have a big breakthrough, and acrylic bathtub has the biggest drawback is that 95%.
More than the cylinder and skirt to separate,
thus destroying the integrity of the bathtub and the fluidity of the lines, the feeling is not perfect.
