Installing a screen on an acrylic bathtub bas. Installation. Three great examples of BAS products: Atlanta, Florida and Laguna

Over the past few years, acrylic bathtubs have gained immense popularity among consumers, as their technical characteristics and appearance far exceed the characteristics of analogues made from other materials. Their advantages include light weight, ability to retain heat, ease of care, reasonable cost and much more. But choosing acrylic bathtubs is still a difficult task for most buyers, since such products are presented in a huge assortment on the market.

The ratings of foreign and domestic manufacturers, as well as instructions for choosing quality products, will help you understand the features and parameters of bathtubs.

To choose the right acrylic plumbing fixtures, you need to know several important criteria that affect the quality and durability of the product.

Material of manufacture

Acrylic is a polymer composition that consists of several compounds (methacrylics, polyesters). For the manufacture of plumbing fixtures, two types are used: ABS and PMMA. The first type is a two-component polymer, which is essentially an elastic plastic, and the second is close in its characteristics to organic glass.

The base of products is usually made from ABS, which is covered with a layer of PMMA on top. The result is a bathtub with a fairly thin layer of acrylic that can withstand about 5 years of use. In addition, ABS has high porosity and the ability to absorb water, which is why bathtubs deteriorate quite quickly.

PMMA is a more durable material with good technical specifications. It is durable and aesthetically pleasing, but products made from 100% PMMA are more expensive than others.

You can determine which type of material was used in the manufacture of the bathtub by its appearance.


Attention: a burst bath bowl made of low-quality acrylic can lead to serious consequences in the form of a flood for neighbors, so special attention should be paid to assessing the quality of the material.

Reinforcement

Acrylic itself is not strong enough, so a reinforcing layer is applied to products that will be subject to mechanical stress. For this, epoxy resins, fiberglass and polyurethane foam are used, which cover the bathtubs on the outside in layers (the more layers were applied to the surface, the greater the load the structure can withstand).

Reinforcing plumbing fixtures with polyurethane resins with the addition of fiberglass is cheaper, but a violation of the technology can lead to the bathtub emitting a strong chemical odor. Bathtubs reinforced with polyurethane foam are more expensive, but they are absolutely environmentally friendly and safe for humans.

Important: some manufacturers apply the reinforcing compound exclusively to the ends of the product - where the buyer can see them, while neglecting the treatment of the rest of the surface.

Wall and coating thickness

The thickness of the walls of the bathtub is another characteristic on which the reliability and durability of the product depends. Good plumbing fixtures have wall thicknesses ranging from 2 to 6.5 mm with a coating of at least 0.5-0.6 cm. To save money, you can purchase a product with thinner walls, but do not forget that their service life may be significantly reduced.

When you press on the walls and bottom of the bowl, they should not spring or bend. Most sellers claim that the too thin layer of material is compensated by the reliability of the frame, but the durability and wear resistance of such products is highly questionable.

Dimensions and shape

The dimensions and shape of the products do not affect the quality, but the ease of use of the plumbing fixtures depends on these criteria. From an ergonomic point of view, the main parameters of the bath should look like this.

As for the shape, acrylic bathtubs can be classic, rectangular, corner, oval, etc. It is worth noting that when purchasing non-standard products special attention should be paid to quality, since the risk of deformation and mechanical damage in this case it increases.

Review of acrylic bathtub manufacturers

On the modern market, acrylic bathtubs are presented in a wide range to suit every taste and budget, but it is better to give preference to manufacturers who have already gained a good reputation among consumers.

Foreign companies

If we talk about foreign manufacturers of plumbing fixtures, the most popular are companies from the Czech Republic, Poland, Spain and Italy. They meet European quality standards, so they are durable and reliable, but are more expensive than their domestic counterparts.

Ravak

The products of the Czech company Ravak are considered the most popular in Europe. Bathtubs are made from high quality material using modern equipment and technology. The products have a thick layer of acrylic, are reinforced with fiberglass and coated with polyurethane, which significantly increases their reliability and durability. The company's product range includes bathtubs different sizes and shapes, and some models are equipped with additional functions: hydromassage, lighting, etc.

The disadvantages of Ravak plumbing fixtures include their rather heavy weight (about 20% heavier than products from other manufacturers), as well as the difficulty in selecting components and fasteners.

Vagnerplast

Another brand from the Czech Republic, which was the first in Europe to begin producing acrylic sanitary ware. Today, many companies rely on Vagnerplast products, as they meet all quality standards. The products have an ergonomic shape, special supports for the legs and head and adjustable legs. The company produces both classic bathtubs and exclusive models equipped with a massage system and other options.

Roca

Roca bathtubs are made in Spain and are among the top three in quality and durability. Products are made by injection molding using the extrusion method from high-quality acrylic. The thickness of their walls is 4-5 mm, which is slightly less than that of other European analogues, but thanks to high-quality reinforcement and a rigid frame, they are practically not subject to wear and chips. Buyers claim that immediately after installation, some models creak a little, but after a while the sound disappears.

Cersanit

Cersanit baths are one of the best in terms of price and quality ratio. They are made in Poland from acrylic sheets 4 mm thick. The products have good technical and decorative characteristics (double reinforced bottom, rigid frame, smooth surface), and the company’s range is constantly updated, so any buyer can easily choose a bathtub to suit his taste. The disadvantages of Cersanit products include the fact that thinner antibacterial acrylic is used for their manufacture, so the installation of a hydromassage system is excluded in this case.

Kolo

The Polish concern Kolo is another leader in the production of acrylic bathtubs in Europe. For the manufacture of sanitary ware, English acrylic sheets with a thickness of 3-5 mm are used, which are highly reliable and durable. The technology of forming products involves adding a special pigment to the material, thanks to which the baths can be polished and cleaned without fear of damage or scratches. The Kolo product range includes classic rectangular, angular and asymmetrical models. As with Cersanit products, Kolo bathtubs are made of thin acrylic, so they cannot be installed with hydromassage systems.

Riho

Riho is a Dutch company that offers a wide range of products, including corner, round and even hexagonal bathtubs. The thickness of the acrylic sheets used to produce bathtubs is 6-8 mm, due to which the brand’s sanitary ware is durable and wear-resistant. Special attention When manufacturing products, we pay attention to their environmental friendliness and safety, so they have an antibacterial coating and a non-slip bottom. The most significant drawback of Riho bathtubs is their high cost, especially when it comes to products of non-standard shape.

Domestic producers

The cost of plumbing fixtures from domestic manufacturers is significantly lower than the price of their European counterparts, but this does not affect their quality at all. Modern products of Russian companies are made from high-quality acrylic using innovative technologies and equipment, making them a good alternative to more expensive bathtubs.

Aquanet

Among domestic companies, the products of this brand are considered the most expensive, since they have quality certificates and provide a guarantee for all models. Aquanet bathtubs are made from acrylic sheets 5 mm thick, but thanks to a special reinforcement technology, the products are wear-resistant and reliable. The brand's disadvantages include the use of a composite during the production process, which is why the bathtub can emit a strong chemical odor during the first time after installation.

The photo below shows various interesting options decorating the space under the bathroom.

How to choose the right size?

Any bath panel is selected for a specific size. It is very important to check whether it fits your plumbing model. The length of acrylic panels varies from 120 to 180 cm for standard hot tubs. And the height is 55-60 cm, but it can change if there are legs.

Most often, acrylic panels come complete with plumbing fixtures and have the same tone as the bathroom, which allows them to look organic general design. They are made of plastic coated with an acrylic layer.

The advantages of panels purchased complete with a bathtub include the fact that they fit as tightly as possible to the sides of the bathtub, eliminating unsightly gaps. Experts do not recommend purchasing such screens separately, since they do not always fit exactly in size.

If the screen is purchased separately from the bathroom, then in order not to make a mistake with the choice of size, you should carefully measure the plumbing from all sides.

Front panel installation

We have made our choice and now we can begin installation.

It should be immediately noted that standard screens are sold complete with all fasteners, frames and fittings. They also come with detailed step-by-step installation instructions.

For installation protective screen The following tools and materials will be required:

How to assemble and secure the screen? Let's consider step by step instructions installation for bathtubs trademark triton:

STEP 1. Adjusting the height of the bath. In order to avoid a wide gap near the floor, you need to match the height of the font and the front panel. We measure it with a tape measure and, using a wrench, tighten the legs.

It is very important to check the level after all manipulations. Don't forget to do this.

STEP 2. Marking. Now you need to find plastic plugs on the frame or legs to which the screen will be attached, and mark on it with a marker the places for screwing in the screws, according to the location of the plugs.

STEP 3. Fastening. We apply the screen and, using a screwdriver, fasten it to the frame with self-tapping screws. Then we install special plugs on the screws.

It is best to seal the joint between the screen and the tile with silicone sealant to prevent splashes from getting in and causing mold to grow.

How to install on corner models?

For corner baths Most often, fastening is provided not with self-tapping screws, but with special magnets and metal plates. Such magnets are initially attached to the legs of the font.

STEP 1. Height adjustment. Just as in the case of the rectangular model, we adjust the height of the legs based on the screen parameters.

STEP 2. How to attach the plates? On back side panels in places where the magnets will rest, glue the metal plates from the kit onto double-sided tape or silicone sealant. While drying, you can secure them with regular tape.

STEP 3. Installation. We apply the front panel and check that the magnets grab the metal plates.

This installation option is convenient because the question: how to remove the screen and then put it back on again does not arise. Everything is extremely simple, you need to apply a little force by pulling the panel towards you, and you can just as easily return it to its place. The previous method is no different from this simplicity; there you will first need to unscrew the screws.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it is worth noting that installing a screen on an acrylic bathtub has many advantages. With it you will transform the interior of the room and create extra bed for storing household chemicals. To make your bathroom more functional and aesthetically pleasing, you should take a responsible approach to choosing a screen and carefully consider how best to attach it.

So, you have decided to purchase an acrylic bathtub. Perfect solution! In this article we will give you the 5 most important advice that will help you do right choice so that your bath will give you only pleasure and benefit for many years to come.

When choosing an acrylic bathtub, everything depends only on your desires and financial capabilities. In order not to get lost in all the variety of bathtubs that currently exist, it is worth understanding a few key points, which will make your further search easier.

Tip 1: Prices vary
Like any product, acrylic bathtubs vary in price. Now on Russian market There are a large number of manufacturers of acrylic bathtubs, offering from the cheapest to the most expensive models. The price of a bathtub is influenced by the quality, size of the bathtub, and its design. The lower price limit for an acrylic bathtub is now about 8 thousand rubles. The upper one has practically no limit.

Tip 2: Make your design dreams come true
One of the main advantages of acrylic bathtubs is the wide variety of designs. Your acrylic bathtub can be of almost any shape, from the classic rectangular to the unusual asymmetrical one. This variability allows the buyer to install a bathtub even in the smallest room, as well as to implement any design ideas. If you dream of a sophisticated and stylish acrylic bathtub, pay attention to the design of bathtubs from Italian manufacturers.

When choosing an acrylic bathtub, decide what space in your bathroom it will occupy; the size of the bathtub depends on this. For small room An ergonomic bathtub measuring 120x70 is suitable, and for a more impressive space you can choose a more impressive size, for example 190x120.

Tip 3: Pay special attention to quality
When choosing a bathtub, first of all check the availability of all certificates, and also find out what polymer the bathtub you like is made from. There are two types of polymers that are used to make acrylic bathtubs.
The first - ABS/PMMA - is a combination of two types of polymers - acrylonetrile butadiene styrene and polymethyl methacrylate, combined by co-extrusion, that is, combining materials with different properties. The thickness of the acrylic layer in such baths is only 5-10%, everything else is ABS polymer, which has a number of disadvantages - relatively low density, tendency to absorb moisture, roughness and porosity of the structure. Such baths are usually cheaper, but be prepared for the rapid appearance of microcracks, chips, and loss of appearance. The service life of such baths is only 3 years.

The second type of material is 100% cast homogeneous acrylic, that is, polymethyl methacrylate. Bathtubs made from such a polymer have all the qualities necessary for a bathtub - wear resistance, high strength, good appearance, maintainability. The service life of bathtubs made of cast homogeneous acrylic can be 10 years.

How to distinguish a bathtub made of 100% cast homogeneous acrylic from an ABS/PMMA bathtub? Look at the cut edge of the bathtub. If the bathtub is made of homogeneous acrylic, there should be only two layers - acrylic and resin. ABS/PMMA bathtubs have three layers - a thin layer of acrylic, a large layer of ABS plastic and a third layer of reinforcement. So if the cut of the bathtub is more than 8 mm thick, and the seller tells you that the acrylic here is 6-8 mm thick, then most likely you can say that he is lying. There is 1 mm of acrylic as such, followed by a layer of plastic - ABS.

The quality characteristics of an acrylic bathtub that are worth paying attention to also include its rigidity and shape stability. These qualities are given to an acrylic bathtub by the reinforcement procedure that the bathtub undergoes during manufacture. The reinforcing layer consists of fiberglass and epoxy resin. And the reinforcement process, accordingly, is the application of such a layer to the bathtub. The more layers, the stronger the bathtub. The number of layers with which the bathtub was strengthened at the factory can be easily determined by carefully examining the edge of the side. The layers are clearly visible, like annual rings on wood. Therefore, the walls of the bathtub should not sag; this must be checked when choosing a bathtub.

Obviously, what better quality, the higher the price. A compromise allows you to find bathtubs from Polish manufacturers that offer a very reasonable price-quality ratio.

Tip 4: Tuning your bath
For an acrylic bathtub, you can purchase additional equipment. This includes mixers, hydromassage systems, decorative panels, end\front curtains, headrests, handles, mats, etc.

Of all the above, to necessary equipment, which will definitely need to be purchased along with the bathtub, is a faucet. And here is another advantage of an acrylic bathtub - the mixer can be placed on the side of the bathtub in any place where it is more convenient for you. You can even make several mixers. An acrylic bathtub allows you to realize all your ideas.
Faucets, like all plumbing fixtures, vary in price and quality. When choosing, for example, Italian manufacturers, you can be sure that the money was not paid in vain. Take the cheaper one, made in China - it's up to you, but don't wait long term services.

Tip 5: Buy a bath without leaving home
Now there are many places where you can buy an acrylic bathtub: plumbing stores and showrooms, construction markets, specialized shopping centers. But all this requires a lot of time, effort and nerves. Recently, it has become possible to purchase acrylic bathtubs online. It is much more convenient and profitable. You can choose the option that suits your price and design, which will be delivered to you directly to the specified address.

The first hydromassage session, which should only be performed in warm water, should last no more than 10 minutes. The effect of water jet massage is directly proportional to the temperature of the water and the duration of the session. After taking a bath for too long, you may feel tired. And if you feel drowsy while taking a bath, turn off the hydromassage device for a while and cool the water.

For overweight people, hydromassage baths at water temperatures exceeding 38 C are contraindicated.

Before turning on the whirlpool system, make sure that the jet nozzles are not pointing upward.

“BAS” baths are modern technologies and original lines that ensure the comfort of taking water procedures.

This manual describes the bathtubs' functions, installation requirements, maintenance and operating methods.

Attention: In order for the bath to be beneficial for you, to work for a long time and reliably, a number of conditions must be met:

1) Consult your doctor to what extent taking a bath is beneficial for you.

2) Consider installing filters for water purification.

3) Do not turn on the hydromassage without filling the bath with water!

4) It is forbidden to seal the seams between the wall and the bathtub with rigid building materials (ceramic tile, curbs, mortar, etc.)

  • Technical description

Standard equipment for a hydromassage bath:

1. Acrylic bathtub - 1 pc.

2. Metal frame - 1 pc.

3. Legs - 4-8 pcs. (depending on model)

4. Panel clamp - 2-4 pcs.

5. Self-tapping screws for fastening the acrylic panel - 5-12 pcs.

6. Additional equipment: acrylic panel (screen), drain-overflow device, back massage, aeromassage, etc. (at the buyer’s request)

Transporting bathtubs When transporting and installing a bathtub, care must be taken not to damage the piping systems and electrical equipment. DO NOT: carry the bathtub by the piping and electrical wiring. It is necessary to avoid mechanical damage to the bath body and screen, and also to exclude the effect of chemically active reagents on the surface of the product.

Instructions for preparing a site for installing bathtubs:

1. A plumber performing work on hot and cold water pipes must take into account the linear dimensions of the bathroom. Otherwise, the pipe outlets may rest against the stiffeners, units and fittings of the bathtub. This means that the bathtub cannot be installed close to the walls.

2. The bathroom drain pipe should not rise above the floor by more than 10 cm. If this cannot be ensured, then a podium must be made.

3. The legs serve to level the bathtub, so additional supports must be installed under the supporting structure of the bathtub.

4. Electrical wiring for the bathtub equipment must be made with a double-insulated cable with a cross-section of 2.5 mm2.

System protection should be based on differential (multiple) shutdown (1fn=30 mA). The power cable must comply with EEC regulations and standards

  • Electrical system

The installation of the electrical system must be carried out by a professional electrician with an electrical safety clearance group of at least group 3. The power supply wiring for the lighting and hydro-air massage system of the bathtub must have a “Residual Disconnection Device” (RCD) with a rating of 30 mA.

  • Attention:

Connect the electrical cable in the following order: blue wire— “zero” brown wire — “phase” yellow-green wire — “grounding” The power supply for the lighting and hydro-air massage system of the bathtub must be connected only through a separate RCD with a rating of 30 mA. The RCD must be located outside the bathroom. It is strictly prohibited to connect the power supply to the lighting or hydro-air massage system of the bathtub through a plug and socket.

Using the lighting system without water in the bath is strictly prohibited.

1. Before installing the screen, first mark the location of the centers of the screen mounting plates on the front side of the bath with a pencil or felt-tip pen.

2-5. Next, you need to screw 4 M 12 nuts onto the mounting legs, use two M 12 nuts to screw the mounting legs to the bathtub frame, and use the remaining two M 12 nuts and two M 12 washers to secure the screen mounting corner on the mounting leg so that it reaches the edge of the screen . Attach the screen to the bath and use a drill dia. Make 3.5 mm holes in the corners of the screen mounting (it is recommended to perform this operation after first removing the screen).

6-7. Mark on the top of the screen the points with the centers of the screen mounting plates already marked on the front side of the bathtub, placing them at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from the lower edge of the front side of the bathtub. In the marked areas of the screen, use a drill with a diameter of 3.5 mm to drill holes for self-tapping screws. Next, use the same drill to make holes in the mounting plates of the screen (it is recommended to perform this operation after first removing the screen).

8. Using the legs, adjust the bathtub to the height of the acrylic panel, taking into account the zero level of the upper plane of the bathtub.

9. Install the drain and overflow device on the bathtub, screw on the siphon (not included in the kit) and connect to drain pipe bathroom
