A comment
Bath Palm, produced by Aquanet immediately caught my eye on the official site. I bought the one that is more spacious - Aquanet Palma 170x90 L (left-hand). An interesting design, a non-standard form (it is correctly called asymmetric), the material is acrylic, which, according to the stories, made it possible to make a bathroom of any shape, as demonstrated by Palma. In some social networks I read in some places that acrylic bathtubs can give a smell, but this is if the bathroom is just off the assembly line, in general, we didn’t encounter such a problem, maybe there was a little smell at first, but not critical. The bath is cast in a high-quality, smooth surface - very pleasant to the touch, white and white. For a year and 2 months, the dirt did not eat. You will be offered a special tool for cleaning acrylic from the manufacturer, it is called - Aquanet. The heat is kept well, it immediately heats up, not to say that it is noisy. Of course, cast iron is quieter, but it is completely different, bulky and expensive, and it is easy to lift and install acrylic.
Here is another important point. I doubted a little for strength, I used to use only steel and cast iron, my weight is about a hundred, but the online store said that there is not just a bent acrylic sheet, but there are inserts from MDF boards in some places, the bowl is reinforced with a double composition of fiberglass and polyester resin.
In addition, the bath itself stands firmly, it is placed on a well-thought-out metal frame. It bends a little under my weight, but the material is flexible, I hope this is not critical. He dropped an electric razor into the bath - without damage. In a dry bath, of course).
I would like to buy a bath with handles to make it easier to get up, but nothing came of the proposed Aquanet. But there is a platform in the corner where you can put gels, or you can use it as a seat. In ordinary rectangular bathtubs this is not. You can put a hydromassage, but I bought a backlight (Aquanet "Star Rain", inexpensive, up to 4 thousand), my daughter really likes it))). You can buy a headrest, only for this bath they are not specially released, as for others, but you can choose it - it will be much more comfortable to lie! But for Palma there is a special curtain rod for curtains, enveloping its side.
And I also thought that it would slide, but no, it’s like the floor in the shower, where they sometimes put a rug, but in fact it is not needed.
In general, I am satisfied with the choice, thanks to the manufacturer and consultants of the online store! I recommend trying acrylic bathtubs from Aquanet.
