Aquatek bathtubs: features and variety of models

Almost no bathroom is complete without the main subject - a bath. In many modern apartments, many people prefer to install shower cabins, however, this does not allow you to fully relax after a hard day's work. We will tell you about the features and variety of Aquatek bathtub models.

The company was founded in 2002 and began its journey with the manufacture of acrylic bathtubs. At the moment, the company occupies a leading position in the manufacture of sanitary ware in the domestic market. The quality of the products is at a high level due to the observance of all technological processes when creating baths.

The company offers a wide range of models - from standard rectangular to round and angular... When creating products, the company uses German-made acrylic, reinforced with fiberglass.

Since the bathtub is the central figure in the bathroom, its choice must be approached very carefully. Due to its large size, the bathtub often "dictates" the interior of the room, since it takes up the largest area. At the moment, the choice of this product is simply huge, and in any plumbing store you can find a wide variety of bathtubs that differ in both their shape and material of manufacture.

The main point when choosing a bath is the size of the room where it will need to be installed. With the classic version of the bathroom, it will not be possible to install large products. Therefore, in this case, you will have to choose a standard rectangular bath, the dimensions of which vary from 1500 to 1800 in length and from 700 to 850 in width. The height of such baths is standard - 650 mm.

When choosing the size of the bath, it is necessary to build on the convenience of being in it, otherwise water procedures will not bring any pleasure. It is necessary to choose a bathtub by height so that a person can lie comfortably in it, therefore, for people with a height of 170 cm, products with a font length from 150 to 160 cm would be an excellent option. For tall ones, it is worth choosing larger models.

Having decided on the size, there is an opportunity to reflect on the shape of the product, since you can find on sale:

• round;

• oval;

• corner baths.

Today in stores you can find products from various materials, for example:

• steel;
• acrylic;
• cast iron;
• ceramic;
• quaril.

Acrylic baths - a new word in the world of plumbing... Choosing this option, you do not have to worry about the price, since these products can belong to both a high price category and a low one. All this is directly related to the production method and the materials used. Acrylic itself is an elastic and durable type of smooth plastic, but other options may be presented in stores:

• polymethyl methacrylate together with acrylonetrile butadiene styrene;
• polymethyl methacrylate.

Polymethyl methacrylate is an expensive material, but it has very high strength and low water absorption, and also has a glossy surface. Baths, consisting of 100% of such material, with constant use will last 12 or more years, but the cost of such sanitary equipment will be 4 times higher than products that also include acrylonetrile butadiene styrene.

Aquatek acrylic bathtubs, which are made from the ABS / PMMA composition, have a top glossy layer of about 5-10% of polymethyl methacrylate. However, this layer thickness can wear off rather quickly over time. And this is a big disadvantage due to the fact that under the layer of polymethyl methacrylate there is ABS, which absorbs moisture, due to which the product quickly falls into a deplorable state and must be replaced.

ABS is a hygroscopic material due to its porous structure, therefore it is used more often as a base for plumbing than as the top layer of a product. High-quality acrylic bathtubs show themselves well in operation. Even when the product is completely filled with water, its walls are not deformed, and when high-temperature water is used, the coating remains intact.

If your choice has settled on an acrylic bathtub, then it is worth learning about the method of its technological production, since this directly affects the quality and durability. That's why for permanent use in apartments, it is advised to install bathtubs made of 100% polymethyl methacrylate. And when installed in the country, you can save the family budget and mount a bathtub from the composition of polymethyl methacrylate plus acrylonetrile butadiene styrene.

Acrylic can be called an ideal material for designers, since it can be used to create a bathtub of any model for any interior. The advantages of such products can be considered that they retain heat for a long time, therefore, the temperature indicator of the water decreases slowly, which makes it possible not to add constantly hot liquid to raise the temperature. Also, the products have excellent sound insulation, which makes it possible to quietly draw water. And the weight of such baths is quite small, and this allows you to mount the product simply and quickly.

The pluses of this material, since this is a type of plastic, can be attributed to the fact that it is possible to choose a bright color of the product, and not just white classics. If the surface has been damaged during operation, then acrylic products can be easily restored.The downside of the material can be considered its easy damage from mechanical stress. That's why it is worth choosing products from well-established companies.

Another feature of acrylic bathtubs is that some models have the following functions:

• hydromassage;

• air massage;

• chromotherapy.

The presence of such a function as hydromassage makes it possible to relax, taking a bath to the fullest.... This effect is created by the movement of water, which is carried out using compressors built into the bath. If there is such a system in the bath, it is necessary to choose products that are equipped with water level sensors, so as not to start the compressor ahead of time. The principle of air massage is similar to hydromassage, however, this effect is achieved not due to the movement of water, but due to the circulation of air bubbles.

Chromotherapy allows you to turn on the ultraviolet lamps built into the product. The advantage of such relaxation is that the color of light can be chosen to suit your mood, since lamps of different color spectrum are built in. The presence of these functions is reflected in the cost of the product, so if you are limited in the budget, such models should not be purchased.

It is better to buy just a high-quality acrylic bathtub, without additional functions. Stopping your choice on the purchase of an acrylic bathtub, you should not forget that you can find many fakes on the market, therefore it is recommended to purchase products only in brand boutiques or online stores.

One of the popular models of rectangular baths is model "Europe". Its dimensions are 180x80, and its weight is only 60 kg. The model has 6 side nozzles, 1 front and 2 side valves. Production material - acrylic. The depth of the bath is 51 cm. The model is made of sanitary acrylic and equipped with a hydromassage function. The complete set of this model can be presented in 5 versions, which makes it possible to choose the one you need for yourself.

Another popular model, but already corner baths can be considered "Sirius". The dimensions of the bath are 164x164, and the weight is 80 kg. The bowl capacity is 460 liters. This model is the largest of the corner baths of this company. Due to the rounded shape, the product visually does not take up much space. To create the bathtub was used French acrylic, due to which it is able to withstand heavy loads without deforming.

Perhaps one of the most popular non-standard-shaped models from the Aquatek company can be called round model "Aura"... If you are the owner of a large bathroom in a private house, then this model was created especially for you. The round shape gives a complete feeling of comfort and complete relaxation.

The model, in addition to the hydromassage function, is equipped with lighting and the ability to use air massage... To regulate the air flow, a valve is installed on the side of the bathtub, which is convenient for use. The dimensions allow you to easily accommodate several people in it and use it as a mini-pool. Bathtub capacity 690 liters. At the same time, the product is durable and does not deform even from the presence of several people.
