In general, young people struggling in life do not have too much savings, so many young consumers will choose a relatively small house, and the bathroom and washroom of this relatively small house is relatively small, but in the small house is also possible to install a suitable bathtub, so how to buy a small bath tub?
Small house bathtub – identify the material
Steel plate bathtub: because its surface is enamel,
not easy to hang dirty, easy to clean, not easy to fade, glossy and lasting.
But because the steel plate is particularly thin,
the insulation performance is not good, so some also add insulation layer.
The enamelled surface is not resistant to impact and has poor thermal insulation.
Cast iron bathtubs: easy to maintain, not easy to produce noise when using.
Due to the thick walls of the tub, the heat insulation performance is good,
the gloss is high and the acid and alkali resistance is good.
And cast iron tub glossy, the use of several types of tub in the longest, the price is also the most expensive.
Acrylic bathtubs: Variable shape, light weight, good insulation effect.
The disadvantage is that because of the artificial organic material there is poor resistance to high temperature,
not wear-resistant, the surface is easy to age the shortcomings, more easily discoloured.
Due to the lack of hardness, the surface is prone to scratches.
Pearl bath: smooth surface, pearl-like lustre, robust, good heat insulation, light weight and easy to install.
Artificial stone bathtub: simple and elegant appearance, high surface finish, small heat transfer coefficient,
good thermal insulation, high strength and toughness, resistant to carving and pressure,
strong wear resistance, anti-mould and anti-bacterial, high temperature resistance,
not easy to stain and easy to clean, not ageing, easy to repair.
Small bathtub – count area
Bathtubs of the same size do not have the same depth, width, length and contour.
If you like the water deeper, the location of the overflow outlet should be higher,
if too low, once the water level exceeds this height,
the water will flow outwards from the overflow,
the depth of the bathtub is difficult to reach the required depth;
there are elderly or disabled people at home,
it is best to choose a lower side position, but also in the appropriate position on the handrail.
If you want to buy one with a skirt, usually a single-sided skirt, pay attention to the direction of the skirt.
Depending on the position of the water outlet and the wall,
it is important to determine whether to choose a left or a right skirt.
If you buy the wrong one, it will not be possible to install it.
Small house bathtub – set function
If you have a generous budget, you can consider a Jacuzzi.
Jacuzzi baths massage muscles, relieve pain and revitalise joints.
There are three types of Jacuzzi: whirlpool, which turns the water in the bath, and bubble, which pumps air into the water.
Combination baths combine these two features.
But be careful to choose a model that meets safety standards and have a professional install it for you.
It is best to “test the water” when buying, to hear the sound and try the temperature;
buy a Jacuzzi with a skirt, so that if there is a problem with the motor, it can be easily dismantled and repaired.
Small bathtubs – smart installation
If a shower head is added to the bathtub,
then the chosen bathtub should be slightly wider to avoid water splashing outside;
you should choose a style with non-slip treatment to ensure safety.
Shower heads are available in wall-mounted and in-wall versions,
with the wall-mounted version being more suitable for domestic use.
It is worth mentioning that the bathtub nozzle and accessories,
as with the toilet and basin accessories, must be selected to match the product.
The appearance of the selection and other bathroom products are largely the same.
Even if the house is small, the bathtub can be installed,
we need to pay attention to many things when buying a bathtub for a small house,
no matter which bathtub to buy is the first to consider the material, followed by the function of the bathtub.
