Bathtubs

Bathtub is no longer just a plumbing fixture, it is also a home accessory that has high quality and design requirements. Therefore, Prof offers its customers only the best that leading manufacturers have created, considering all the qualities and features that are essential in the context of modern comfort and design.

Several factors determine the choice of a bathtub, but the dominant one is the size of the space and the layout of the sanitary fixtures, which determine the size and shape of the bathtub that can be installed. There are many more options available if the building is only being planned and constructed, as the desired solutions can be created right away. However, if there is a renovation in the home, one must consider the existing conditions in the bathroom.

At our store, you can find bathtub models that will suit every taste, budget, and meet standard as well as the highest quality requirements. The main factors that customers usually consider are the shape and material, as they determine the suitability for the buyer's needs.

Prof offers rectangular, asymmetrical, freestanding, corner, wall-mounted, and round bathtubs. The available materials are steel and acrylic, which can be used to make relatively inexpensive bathtubs, as well as solid surface and the modern material called quaryl, which already determines a higher price for the product.

• Steel is an economical and convenient solution for making bathtubs, and it is lightweight. However, bathtubs made of this material are mostly available in rectangular shape only. If there are no high requirements for design and modern materials, then it is a suitable choice. It should be noted that steel does not provide the highest heat retention, so it may not be the best option for those who enjoy long baths, as the water will cool down quite quickly. Also, when filling the bathtub with water, there will be a fairly loud noise. To solve this problem, experts recommend insulating the bathtub with special Makroflex foam. Steel bathtubs can have different layers of thickness, covered with an enamel layer. The thicker this layer, the more difficult it will be to damage or scratch the bathtub.
• Acrylic is a material that can be used to create bathtubs in various colors, shapes, and sizes, which is why acrylic bathtubs are in high demand. They are also available in an affordable price range. The quality of acrylic bathtubs is determined by the manufacturing process and the number of reinforcing layers. Therefore, we choose to work only with leading manufacturers who always provide high-quality products.

In simple terms, acrylic is a special type of plastic that is heated and then placed in a vacuum chamber, where it takes on the desired shape of the bathtub. Of course, to reinforce the bathtub, it is coated with a special layer. The more reinforcing layers the bathtub has, the higher its quality will be. The quality of a bathtub can also be determined by the sound it makes - the more layers used in its production, the more muffled the sound. One of the drawbacks of acrylic bathtubs is their relatively short lifespan. However, if cracks appear in this material, it is possible to repair them by filling them with acrylic resin and sanding.

It is worth knowing that compared to, for example, steel, acrylic retains heat better, and various models of acrylic bathtubs are available with relaxation and massage systems. Acrylic bathtubs also retain their color for a longer time and do not turn yellow, and they are resistant to various chemicals (due to a smaller number of pores) and therefore easier to maintain.

• Solid surface bathtubs have high heat retention and sound insulation. They are solid and stable. This is a long-term solution, as even in case of damage, the surface can be easily restored to its original quality. They also have good chemical resistance. Solid surface bathtubs can meet the highest quality requirements. And the long-term use outweighs the price. Due to these advantages, solid surface bathtubs are very popular among buyers. In addition to the aforementioned advantages, they have a special, original shine that makes the bathtubs very attractive. However, compared to acrylic bathtubs, they are more difficult to maintain.

Considering that both solid surface and acrylic bathtubs are available in various, including non-traditional shapes, they are used not only as elements of bathing procedures but also as design objects. If necessary, the bathtub can be equipped with a massage system.

• Quaryl material is a novelty in the world of plumbing, and it has recently appeared on the Latvian market as well. It combines acrylic and quartz, extending the service life and significantly increasing durability. Customers are choosing these types of bathtubs more and more because they can provide the best combination of quality and design. When choosing this solution for your bathroom, you should be prepared for higher costs. Although these bathtubs look similar to those made of acrylic, their lifespan is significantly longer. They are also heavier than acrylic bathtubs but significantly lighter than traditional cast iron ones.

The advantage of quaryl bathtubs is that they are not as easily damaged as, for example, steel. If you accidentally drop the shower head and it hits the bottom of the bathtub, it will not leave any marks or cracks. Quaryl bathtubs are characterized by their distinctive lines and shapes.

The range of models offered by Prof is truly wide and diverse in terms of design, size, and price, allowing you to find the solution that suits your taste and practical needs. When choosing a product, pay attention to whether it includes accessories such as bathtub legs, siphon, decorative panel, headrest, handles, seating, etc. Alternatively, you can choose tiles instead of a decorative panel, which will also be an aesthetically pleasing solution. If necessary, the bathtub can be complemented with a wall so that it can also be used as a shower on different levels. The choice is in your hands.
