And in cold weather, taking a hot bath helps to prevent colds. Today, the domestic market has a wide range of baths. They differ in manufacturing, size, equipment and price. Steel baths are in steady demand among Russians. Buyers prefer these models to cast iron and acrylic counterparts for several reasons. When choosing a steel bath, experts advise to pay attention to a few points.

How to choose a steel bath

1. Dimensions. The first step is to carefully measure the bathroom and determine the location of the upcoming purchase. If the width and length of the room is 1.5 m, then you should not pay attention to models with large dimensions. But in spacious premises it is necessary to determine to which wall the bathtub will lean (where there is a mixer) and where the sewage will be connected to it.
2. Modern manufacturers produce both single and double steel baths. If the first ones are designed for water procedures and relaxation of one adult person, then the long models (more than 190 cm) make it possible to make a romantic pastime of two lovers.
3. Soundproofing. Users consider noise when filling with water to be one of the main drawbacks of steel baths. Some manufacturers make sound insulation that reduces noise. At the same time the heat is kept, which allows you to spend more time in the bath.
4. Accessories. Not all models are equipped with such important accessories as legs, handles, siphons, etc. The buyer will have to spend extra money to bring the purchased bath to mind.
5. Thickness steel Some manufacturers sell their products at a low price, saving on steel thickness. An adult feels most stable in baths with walls of 3-3.5 mm. When the thickness of the steel is 2 mm and less, there is a deflection of the surface, which may result in the detachment of enamel. For these baths have to make a solid support of bricks or blocks.
6. Coating. Almost all steel baths are enamelled. It can serve for many years, the main thing is not to throw hard and heavy objects into the bath.
