If you’re renovating your bathroom, you should consider the acrylic bathtub option which has many advantages that we are going to look at today.
First off, acrylic tubs are warm, durable and come in a huge selection of styles which makes them a popular choice but the benefits do not end there. They are also very affordable and so much more.
What Is An Acrylic Tub?
An acrylic bathtub is a bathtub formed by vacuum sheets of acrylic, which is then reinforced with fiberglass.
With the inclusion of acrylic, an acrylic bathtub is non porous with the sheets providing enough of a barrier between the water and the bathtub itself.
Advantages of Acrylic Tubs
Lightweight
Since the base of the bathtub is made from fiberglass, acrylic bathtubs tend to be lighter than other materials on the market. The lightweight results in less stress on your bathroom floor as well as ease of install.
Economical
These bathtubs tend to be more affordable as they are essentially reinforced fiberglass bathtubs. The flexibility in price point also comes from the fact that the material is lightweight, yet still quite durable, given the price point offered. The price point for a durable material that comes in so many distinct designs and sizes is a good reason for their popularity.
Many Styles
With the material being lightweight, acrylic bathtubs enjoy a multitude of different shapes, sizes, and designs. Since it is quite a deal more cost effective to manufacture, at least when compared to other bathtub materials, acrylic offers the widest selection for an affordable price.
Durable
Even with the base being fiberglass, the acrylic reinforcement solves many of the issues with fiberglass bathtubs. Acrylic is non-porous, meaning that an acrylic bathtub will not absorb water, leading to a longer lifespan. The material is also more durable to heavy impacts and will not chip or crack.
Non-Porous Surface
Acrylic bathtubs do not have a porous surface, which means they will not absorb water and thus will not eventually warp like fiberglass does. The non-porous surface also means that it will benefit from a longer heat retention compared to fiberglass as well.
Easy Care
An acrylic tub is easily cared for and we recommend a 50/50 vinegar water solutions to keep it fresh and looking its best once a week.
