Choosing a font for a bath: varieties, materials, prices

The hot tub is a great option to make the bathhouse even more useful and interesting. Our site of advice decided to figure out what kind of bath tubs are, what they can be made of, how much ready-made options cost. Our article will help you choose this simple, but such an important bath attribute..

The portal wrote about the hot tubs as a street version with heating. But in general, such containers are much more often used indoors, when the owners of a bath or sauna do not have the space and funds to build a full-fledged pool..

Why do you need a hot tub at all? To plunge into cool water after the steam room! This is a great alternative to an ice hole, a river, a lake or a snowdrift, where our ancestors loved to jump after a hot bath. So to speak, a civilized version of bathing after a steam room.

Important! The temperature difference in the steam room and the hot tub will harden the body, become a workout for the heart, tighten the skin, and give vigor and energy.

According to the shape of the font there are:

• Oval.
• Round.
• Rectangular.
• Square.
• Corner.
• Sophisticated shapes to fit into existing structures.

Purchased fonts are usually of the simplest shape – round and oval, they are universal and can fit into a bath room of different sizes.

Fonts are made from the following materials:

• Concrete.
• Metal.
• Composite.
• Plastic.
• Wood.

It is clear that pouring a concrete font is a long and rather complicated process. This is already a variant of a mini-pool according to individual sizes. Metal fonts are also not very popular, so in the future we will dwell in more detail on fonts made of wood and plastic, which can be bought ready-made..

In the photo, the simplest version of a bath tub is a pouring tank. It’s just a bucket of water. I pulled on the string – and poured cool water. The plus is that such a capacity does not take up space at all. The downside is clear – you won’t be able to sit in water.

Ordinary hot tubs can be designed for one person, two, maximum three. If the dimensions are larger, this is already a mini-pool, a more spacious option for a company.

According to the installation method, all fonts are divided into built-in ones, for example, recessed into the flooring, floor, and free-standing. The latter option, of course, is easier to install and connect to communications.

Wooden fonts are the most popular. There are many reasons for this:

• Very beautiful, allow you to create the interior of a real Russian bath.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Possessing a pleasant aroma and healing properties.
• Practical and durable.
• Large selection of models of different sizes and shapes.

Most often, bath tubs are made of oak, larch, cedar, ash, aspen, beech. The average price of a container with a volume of 1.3 thousand liters of water is from 24 to 80 thousand rubles.

Plastic tubs made of polypropylene also have a number of advantages:

• Easy to care for.
• They do not weigh much, installation is not difficult.
• They can be of very different shapes.
• They cost a little cheaper than wooden ones – about 30 thousand rubles, the price tag rarely rises above 40 thousand rubles.
• Products with a wall thickness of 5 millimeters will last a long time.

A clear disadvantage of plastic fonts is that they either need to be built into the flooring, into the floor, or sheathed on the sides with more attractive material. For example, all the same wood, tiles, mosaics. And this will dramatically raise the cost of the font..

Composite fonts, made of fiberglass, are much stronger, they can imitate different materials, for example, stone or wood, calmly winter outdoors, do not have welds. But they are even more expensive than wooden ones – over 100 thousand rubles! So if you are looking for an affordable option, then composite fonts are not for you..

When choosing a hot tub for a bath, pay attention to the following points:

1. Dimensions. Are you looking for the smallest version or a bigger font for the two of you to sit on the comfortable seats with drinks while having a pleasant conversation? Will the size of the bath room allow the installation of such a font, will it go through an already installed door? You decide.
2. Material. As you can see, you have a wide choice..
3. Availability of additional options. Heating is very popular; also, bath owners often choose hot tubs with seats. If the font is separate and high enough, then you need a comfortable staircase. In addition, there are hot tubs with hydromassage, which, of course, are significantly more expensive than usual.
