Material

To choose a corner bath, you should learn more about the material from which it is made:

• Acrylic The acrylic bowl is light and strong enough. It perfectly retains heat, and therefore saves hot water. Its main drawback is its complicated installation, since the bowl is mounted in several places and placed on a brick "pillow". In order not to purchase a fake, you should pay attention to the cut of the side: if two layers are visible, then the corner bath is made of porous plastic and covered with a thin layer of acrylic.
• Cast iron. Wear-resistant cast iron bathtubs also retain heat very well, but do not differ in the variety of forms due to the peculiarities of production. They also have considerable weight and high price.
• Steel. It is steady against scratches and blows, weighs a little. But the corner bowls of steel quickly cool, and when filled with water, they create additional noise.
• Bathtub made of artificial stone. Eco-friendly material is resistant to various microorganisms, durable and easy to care for. It keeps heat well. The main advantage is the ability to make a corner bathtub of any shape and size.
• Injection marble. The bowl is made of marble chips and polyester resins. In appearance, it can completely imitate natural marble, but at the same time it has increased strength. Such a heavy bath is installed without additional hardware. Perfectly keeps heat.

What are the forms of bath?

The range of modern corner bathtubs varies in form and depth over a fairly wide range. The bowls can be symmetrical (of the correct geometric shape), which take up more space and are suitable for spacious rooms, and asymmetrical (products of an unusual shape, where the wide part is designed on the right or left side).

The most popular model is a semicircular - the classic form looks attractive and expensive, but requires more free space. The triangular bowl takes up less space and fits perfectly into modest sized bathrooms. A trapezoidal product is usually equipped with additional elements (for example, hydromassage) and more resembles a jacuzzi, as two people can bathe in it.
