Do not rush to throw away your old, worn out steel or cast iron bathtub. Having served its term, and having received serious damage to the enamel, it can become the basis for a new technology. Information on the site will show that a modern approach to restoration work will allow you to achieve much better results for a relatively low cost of work. In fact, inside the old, visually unattractive bathtub, another one made of two-pack epoxy paint will be placed.
The main advantages of the technology
Classic steel and cast iron baths have significant weight, significant cost and complexity in installation. Any, even minor, damage is expensive to repair. Modern acrylic bathtubs, although they have an attractive price, will require serious renovation in the bathroom. An alternative solution will give you the following benefits:
- A bathtub inside another bathtub creates a thermos effect, keeping the temperature of the liquid longer.
- Water does not need to spend most of its thermal energy to heat steel or cast iron.
- With a steel base, the liner resists physical exertion much better.
- Simple and very fast installation within one hour.
- High tightness, will not allow the base to continue to deteriorate rapidly.
Important: the material used, although it has the name "Liquid or Bulk Acrylic", has nothing to do with the widely used polymer. In fact, a special two-component resin is used. The appearance resembles common acrylic.
Benchmarking
Under standard loads, modern technology will withstand up to 30 years of daily use. If you follow the simplest rules from the manufacturer, three dozen will not be the limit in operation. In addition, the customer can choose the future color or shade of the liner. Other comparisons are worth adding:
- the widespread service of filling baths does not withstand active use;
- an attempt to restore the enamel with a handicraft method is destroyed in a year;
- a complete restoration is very expensive, sometimes it is easier to buy a new bath;
- in some cases, craftsmen use toxic materials.
The insert will optimally follow the internal contours of the old bath. You can order on the site within a few minutes. Have additional internal stiffening ribs. The foam fixing firmly fixes the structure, turning it into a single whole.
