Acrylic bathtubs

Acrylic bathtubs are one of the cheapest and most popular bathtubs on the Polish market. It is a material that has revolutionized the face of the bathroom, as it can be freely shaped and thus can take various forms. It is not without significance when we have, for example, a small bathroom or one with asymmetrical shapes.

Acrylic is a plastic that began to be popular in the 90s of the last century. At the same time, Poles were looking for bathtubs with numerous profiles in the form of seats or headrests. Acrylic bathtubs have proved that thanks to their plasticity they are able to create forms that meet the expectations of each client.

Advantages of acrylic bathtubs

Users of acrylic bathtubs agree that they are easy to use and keep clean. In addition, they weigh the least of all products of this type available on the market. They are not difficult to install and maintain the water temperature better than steel bathtubs.

Prices for acrylic bathtubs

The simplest acrylic bathtubs are also the cheapest on the market. So if we plan to buy a bathtub with a universal shape, it will certainly not ruin our budget. We can buy an acrylic bathtub for as little as ... PLN 100.

Steel bathtubs

Steel bathtubs are products most often chosen by people who value traditional solutions and materials. They are available in many colors, shapes and sizes, although their choice is slightly smaller than with acrylic bathtubs. Modern enamels with which they are coated increase their resistance to impacts, scratches and detergents.

Users of steel bathtubs often emphasize that the water cools down quickly in them. Steel conducts heat well. However, this can be remedied by installing a polystyrene casing, which thermally insulates the bathtub and also makes it soundproof.

Advantages of steel bathtubs

The undoubted advantage of steel bathtubs is their high resistance to mechanical damage, as well as discoloration and cleaning agents. The enamel with which they are covered does not tarnish as quickly as acrylic, so we can enjoy their beautiful appearance longer. Their additional advantage is the possibility to choose any color of the bathtub depending on your preferences and preferences.

Prices of steel bathtubs

Steel bathtubs are more expensive than acrylic ones, although when searching the nooks and crannies of the Internet, you can come across models from PLN 250 upwards. Unfortunately, the quality of their workmanship often leaves much to be desired, so sometimes it is worth reaching for slightly more expensive copies. Of course, we are not talking about those with a price exceeding PLN 10,000.

Both acrylic and steel bathtubs have their advantages and disadvantages, so if you still do not know which one to choose, follow your own sense and the arrangement of your bathroom.
