The Art of Bathtub

– Common standard sizes for bathtubs
Length: 60 inches, 66 inches or 72 inches.
Width: 30 inches or 32 inches.
Depth: 14 inches to 20 inches.

– Advice on choosing the right size
Measurement of space: First measure the available space in the bathroom to ensure that the bathtub will have enough room to move around after installation.
Type of bathtub: Different types of bathtubs will affect the size selection.
Installation method: Depending on the installation method, e.g. wall or center placement, choose the appropriate bathtub size.

For small spaces, built-in bathtubs maximize the use of limited square footage and are often the more practical choice. Choosing the right built-in bathtub can provide better functionality and aesthetics to your bathroom without sacrificing comfort.

– Built-in bathtub
Size range: usually 60 inches (152 cm) long and 30-32 inches (76-81 cm) wide, suitable for small spaces.
Space Occupancy: Because they fit snugly against a wall or corner, they usually require only 1-2 square feet of floor space, allowing for efficient use of the bathroom layout.

– Freestanding bathtubs
Size range: Most freestanding bathtubs are 60-72 inches (152-183 cm) long and 30-36 inches (76-91 cm) wide.
Footprint: May take up 2-3 square feet or more due to the need for space all around for access and cleaning, limiting other features of the bathroom.

– Regular Cleaning
Use mild detergent and soft cloth or sponge, avoid using strong acidic or abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface.

– Handle stains in a timely manner
For soap scum, mineral deposits or limescale, they should be removed as early as possible. You can use white vinegar or baking soda mixed with water for cleaning.

– Avoid heavy impact
Avoid placing heavy objects inside the bathtub to prevent cracks or damage to the surface.

– Regular Inspection
Check the seal of the bathtub to make sure there are no leaks and prevent water from seeping in and causing damage.

– Use of protective agents
You can use professional bathtub protectant regularly to increase the surface luster.

The average life expectancy of a bathtub is usually 10 to 30 years, depending on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. Below are the life expectancies of bathtubs made of different materials:

– Acrylic bathtubs: about 10 to 15 years, lightweight and easy to clean, but may scratch.
– Glazed bathtubs: about 15 to 25 years, durable and smooth, with good resistance to stains.
– Cast iron bathtubs: up to 30 years or more, sturdy and durable, good insulation, but heavier.
– Plastic bathtubs: about 10 years, inexpensive but less durable.

The ocean freight cost for bathtubs is usually higher, mainly due to their the weight and volume, as well as the transportation distance and packaging requirements.

However, in order to reduce costs, we recommend that customers consider purchasing other building material products together and combining shipments, so that getting enough for one container can significantly improve shipping efficiency, reduce the shipping cost of each product, and make the overall purchase more cost-effective.

Foreign clients can often enjoy more cost-competitive prices when purchasing bathtubs in China, mainly because China is a major producer of bathtubs, with lower manufacturing costs and a wide selection of products.

Additionally, purchasing directly from the manufacturer eliminates the middleman, further reducing costs. However, customers need to consider additional costs such as transportation and tariffs, especially since international shipping may increase overall expenses.

Therefore, despite the lower purchase price, the final economic benefits need to be considered in the context of transportation costs and related expenses.
