However, more often than not, users make a choice not in favor of steel. But all prejudices disappear when you get to know Kaldewei (Germany) plumbing fixtures. This German company launched a product on the market that completely neutralized all the known disadvantages of steel sanitary ware.

The Kaldewei bathtub is almost impossible to scratch, all products are UV resistant, so they do not lose their brightness, even when in the sun... The heat-resistant coating protects the bowl from candle flames and cigarette embers. The metal has good thermal insulation, so the bath heats up rather quickly.

As for the shortcomings, Kaldewei plumbing is almost devoid of them. However, as consumer reviews point out, with long-term operation, there is still a risk of microcracks and chips.

Steel bathtubs from Kaldewei brand harmoniously fit into the bathroom of all sizes and interiors thanks to the material used, the variety of shapes and dimensions of the product. The most in demand are baths with dimensions of 150x70 and 170x70 cm. However, the undoubted advantage of the model range of this brand is the fact that any customer can easily pick up a bathtub of any other size. The company offers models with parameters 140x70, 170x75, 180x70, 180x80, 160x70, 170x73 and even 200x100 cm.

The German company Kaldewei was the first brand to produce a unique one-piece pool without a single weld seam. This technology has become a real breakthrough not only for the brand itself, but for the entire plumbing market. All Kaldewei bathtubs are made of steel-enamel and are manufactured in 4 stages.

1. Mixing of raw materials. At this stage, oxides and silicates are mixed, as a result of which a high-quality base is formed for the further production of sanitary ware.
2. Melting. The resulting mixture is transferred to ovens heated to 1300 degrees. In the course of melting, a homogeneous composition is obtained, it is cooled with ice water, and from the hardened non-plastic mass, the specialists of the enterprise obtain glassy crystals - the so-called frits.
3. Grinding. The resulting enamel frits with the addition of natural components are processed in ball mills for 5-6 hours, the result of processing is the formation of an enamel slip.
4. Application and firing. Enamel slip is sprayed evenly onto metal sheets and placed in ovens, heating them to 850-900 degrees. As a result of such processing, a durable composite material with a thickness of 3.5 mm is obtained, of which the size of the coating is 6 mm, and the metal frame is 2.9 mm.

The Kaldewei bathtub assortment includes the most beautiful products in a modern or classic style. For example, the Saniform Plus bathtub has a design familiar to everyone, in which any unnecessary elements are absolutely excluded. Such bowls are distinguished by ergonomics and ease of use. The size grid starts from 140x70 cm and ends with 180x70 cm. Self-cleaning and anti-slip coating is provided.

The bathtub fits harmoniously into rooms decorated in an ultra-modern style. The size grid is presented in the range from 170x75 cm to 200x100 cm.

Oval bowls are very popular - Ellipso Duo Oval... Such products look very nice, their design is characterized by simple but smooth lines. The unusual shape allows you to take hygiene procedures not only alone, but also together.

Like any other quality technique, Kaldewei is often replaced by fakes. In order to avoid fraud, it is necessary to pay attention to the correctness of the execution of the purchase and sale transaction.

1. The seller, upon request, is obliged to provide all hygiene certificates and certificates of conformity.
2. When purchasing a bath, the representatives of the trade company must give you a check, as well as a purchase and sale agreement (depending on the specifics of the seller's work, this can only be a check).
3. Together with the bathroom, the product passport with its own individual code must be included, the passport is glued to the bowl.

Taking care of the bathroom of this brand is very simple, since the steel, thanks to the anti-dirt coating, copes with cleaning itself. Nevertheless, in order for the plumbing to serve you faithfully for many years, you should adhere to some recommendations.

• After each use, the enamel on the surface should be rinsed with warm water and then wiped off with a soft damp cloth or chamois leather. This is especially true for dark colored items, as otherwise a noticeable limescale will appear on them.
• Light dirt can be removed with the most common detergents.To neutralize heavier stains, it is recommended to first soak the stain with a more concentrated detergent solution.
• When limescale appears, you can remove it with a warm solution of vinegar with water, taken in a 1: 1 ratio. You mean, you need to use table vinegar, not vinegar essence. After cleaning the plaque, the plumbing is thoroughly rinsed with water.
• When using body care products containing oil or fat, an oily film often appears on the surface, this kind of contamination significantly increases the risk of slipping and often leads to injuries. To remove them, it is necessary to use alkaline cleaning agents that can dissolve fat, and after treatment, the surface should be treated with sour milk and rinsed with plenty of water.
• To clean the kaldewei bathroom, do not use abrasive cleaners or formulations containing sand or strong acid-base solutions. We recommend using a soft cloth to clean the surface. The use of metal sponges, hard brushes, and washing powder is not recommended.

When buying plumbing fixtures, in particular, bathroom bowls, most consumers are trying to find a middle ground.
