Best cast marble bathtubs for 2020

Over time, the need to improve everyday life and comfort is increasing. Baths are an important element of this, their durability, environmental friendliness, safety and beauty matter. Cast marble contains only environmentally friendly materials: quartz sand, polyester resin, marble chips. The composition may contain one of these elements.

Technical characteristics of cast marble bathtubs

Cast marble sanitary ware is covered with a protective material - gelcoat. Dyes are added to the base material. Which option is better to buy can be determined by the technical characteristics of the product, by studying them, you can easily decide on the choice.

Manufacturing material

Cast marble comes in different types. These are kvaril, kvarrikast, litokast, artificial marble, marmoril, complex composite. Some of these materials have a secret composition that is not disclosed by the manufacturers. In any case, these are environmentally friendly and high-quality materials that allow you to conjure over them in such a way that you get a unique design. This was not possible with their predecessors.

Additional plumbing functions

Massage. It can be vibration and air bubbles, respectively, hydro and air massage. Also can be with back massage function. Ozonation and disinfection. The backlight is single-color and multi-color. The anti-slip coating is an important element in usability.

A siphon and a mixer can be included in the package. A siphon is a collection of pipes and other elements that connect the bathtub to the sewer. Each type has its own siphon, it is better if it is sold as a set.

The presence of a drain-overflow. This is the hole at the top of the bowl that drains the water in case the user has turned it on and forgot. Above this hole, water will not collect and there will be no overflow.

Form and appearance

In addition to the color scheme and the very shape of the plumbing, it is important to design it in the room. This is the presence of legs, stands, pallets, installation on a frame. Handles may be present in the bowl. There is an option with a headrest, glass inserts, even a radio may be present. The front panel can be removable, or absent altogether, the height of the legs can be adjusted.

Corner bowl design. It can be a bathtub shape that wraps around a shelf installed in the room next to it. Or the bowl is made so that it fits perfectly under the corner of the room, while the rest of its elements are made in a semicircle.

Freestanding or built-in bathtub. It can be installed right next to the wall, during construction it can be decorated with a board or skirting board at the junction with the wall.

Round, rectangular, square, depending on the size, it can have a decisive factor: a square bathtub of the same price as a rectangular one can be inconvenient, since it is impossible to lie in it.

Weight and dimensions

The mass of the goods should preferably be minimal. But the size of the bowl, its depth and ease of use depend on the size. Users give priority to types in which it is possible to be in a semi-recumbent state. Large, square-shaped bowls where you can only sit and stand may not be popular.
