Baths
Baths, Shower baths and whirlpool baths
There are two main finishes to baths - acrylic and steel - both having many varieties of style.
Acrylic baths come in 5mm and 8mm sheets moulded to shape. Many manufacturers offer the super strong fully reinforced finish. Acrylic baths keep the water hotter for longer and allows you to keep the bath looking clean and polished as the finish is your desired colour all the way through. There is a super tough finish available this is often called armour plus or carronite. This is an extra layer applied to the underside of the bath that makes it much heavier and stronger.
Steel baths come in light weight and super gauge. Light weight baths are usually supplied to the housing market and for first time buyers who are on a budget. Super gauge steel baths have almost replaced the old cast iron ones and come in many shapes and sizes. Steel baths have a shiny mirrored enamel finish and have that reassuring metallic no-nonsense feel to them.
