What is the best material for the bathtub?
1. Acrylic bathtub
The acrylic bathtub is made of organic materials. This product has rich shapes, light weight, and at the same time Its surface finish is good, and the price is low. The most important thing is that its heat preservation effect is better. The disadvantage is that the surface is easy to be flowered by hard objects. In order to overcome the shortcomings that acrylic is not wear-resistant, some manufacturers have adopted imported high-brightness and high-hardness acrylic sheets for sanitary ware, which overcome these shortcomings to a certain extent.
2. Cast iron bathtub
The cast iron bathtub is made of cast iron, and the surface is covered with enamel, so its weight is very heavy. Relatively speaking, this is also durable, and It is not easy to generate noise and is easy to clean, but the disadvantage of this product is that the weight is too heavy, and it is not easy to install and transport. Moreover, the iron cast bathtub is generally single in shape. Due to the complex casting process, the price is relatively expensive.

The disadvantage is that the price is slightly higher. At the same time, it needs to be maintained, otherwise it will be deformed and leaked.

The price is relatively cheaper, the weight is between the iron cast bathtub and the acrylic bathtub, the texture is light, and the installation is more convenient. The disadvantage is that the thermal insulation effect is not as good as the iron cast bathtub, and the water injection noise is relatively large, but because of its high cost performance, many consumers will choose steel bathtubs when decorating.
5. Ceramic bathtub
