Now, in order to achieve purity of the soul, first of all we need to achieve the purity of our body. And this is easy to achieve: just come after work and plunge into hot bath. IN this moment- there is nothing simpler, but such pleasure! In addition, every person sometimes needs the very least - to be with himself, relax and think about the past day and future plans, and so that no one bothers him. And where do you think all this can be achieved? Exactly! In bathroom! To achieve the above, the equipment and decoration of this very room plays a significant role.
IN modern conditions The so-called acrylic bathtubs have received significant variety. From this material you can get baths of any color and shape, it all depends solely on your imagination.
You can choose a bathtub for every taste, completely matching your desires. It is these requirements that the bas acrylic bathtubs that we offer you meet.
bas baths have their advantages, namely:
- the material takes a long time to cool;
- bathtubs of this type do not lose color or deteriorate and will serve for a long time;
- high guaranteed service life (from two to ten years);
- in case of damage, bathtubs can be easily restored using grout intended for this purpose;
- they are easy to install, operate and maintain;
- confirmed by the appropriate certificate.
To achieve all the listed requirements, we advise you to use bathtubs and curtains for them from the BAS brand (Bath Acryl Systems). Acrylic and massage bathtubs with curtains will please any whimsical client.
bas acrylic bathtubs are manufactured in several stages:
- 1) the acrylic sheet is heated to a temperature of 130-160°C;
- 2) a trough of the desired shape is formed;
- 3) this trough is cooled;
- 4) the resulting form is fixed in the right place;
- 5) the outer edge of the bath is covered epoxy resin with fiberglass in several layers (this gives rigidity and strength).
But, if the shape of the bathtub is too complex, then its strength will be much lower, because The plasticity of acrylic has certain limits. Therefore, you need to make a choice between beauty and reliability. If you use high-quality sanitary acrylic when making a bathtub, then your bathtub will not be subject to corrosion, chemical and other types of influences. The bas acrylic bathtub can be equipped with hydromassage jets. A variety of settings according to your order can provide a variety of massage modes (from pulsating to oriental). If you have regular bath made of acrylic, then after a while you can build a hydromassage system into it, for which you just need to buy this system and call the appropriate specialist.
Let's consider the issue of maintaining our baths. Unlike cast iron or steel bath, caring for acrylic is even easier. The only drawback is that the bathtub is not suitable for soaking laundry. Plumbing acrylic is not a porous material, so it is not susceptible to contamination. For maintenance, simply wipe the bath with a soft sponge and a cleaning agent (you can use liquid soap, etc. detergents). But the use of abrasive substances and solvents is strictly prohibited. Hot tubs it is necessary to disinfect and clean from deposited water stone annually (but not more often). This is done using a disinfectant or vinegar (1.5 l) added to a bathtub filled with water. Then we turn it on for 10 minutes, drain it, fill the bath, and turn it on again for 1-2 minutes. Then we rinse the bathtub from the shower.
No matter how durable the material is, unfortunately, it can also crack and be scratched. But scratches and cracks are easily eliminated. To do this, you need to sand the damaged area. sandpaper. The procedure should be carried out by constantly pouring water. When purchasing bathtubs you can purchase special means, adapted for removing cracks, as well as all kinds of polishing. At proper care The service life of your bathtub will reach up to 20 years.
The most common bathtubs, rectangular in shape, are suitable for any bathroom. The choice of sizes is quite wide, from very small to huge. To save space in your bathroom, you can use corner baths, which can be installed in small rooms. An example is the Alegra bathtub, which has an asymmetrical shape. In addition, there are baths that have common standard sizes, such as Imperial or Iris. But, if the size of your room allows you to install larger baths, then you can install a Laguna bath. The offered choice of shapes and sizes will allow you to enjoy the bathing procedure to the fullest!
A shower stall can serve as a replacement for a hydromassage bathtub or as an addition to it. It is with its help that you can save space. The shower cabin is well suited for those people who do not particularly prefer a bath. In addition to its main function, the shower cabin has a number of additional features such as telephone, radio, etc. In addition, you can install Turkish bath and/or hydromassage installation.
On a stand in a plumbing store or in a photograph in an online store, an acrylic bathtub, as a rule, appears assembled. Meanwhile, products produced by Aquanet arrive in the regions in a disassembled state, and chain stores often supply them in the form of a kind of “Assemble it yourself” construction kit. As a result, the question arises of how to install an acrylic bathtub .
Task one. How to assemble a frame for an acrylic bathtub
Acrylic bathtubs ordered in the Aquanet online store are delivered to the customer with assembled frame. All that remains is to install it and, if necessary, fix it against the wall using fastening materials. Insulate the junction of the bathtub with the wall using a special self-adhesive plinth or plastic corner, which is attached to sanitary silicone. If the faucet is already installed, you can immediately use the bathroom. To help those who received the bath disassembled, that is, the bowl is separate from the frame, instructions are given. And here you already need to use your abilities as a home craftsman.
To make the task of assembling the frame easier for yourself, the most win-win way to quickly and efficiently install an acrylic bathtub is to contact the service department. At Aquanet, this also allows us to automatically double the equipment warranty. By the way, service specialists can also help if the bathtub arrived at its destination with the frame already assembled. In this case, the craftsmen will level the product, connect the drain and overflow, install the front panel if required, and treat the joints with sealant. That is, they will prepare a turnkey bathtub, taking into account all the nuances, since they know the specifics of each model very well. In this case, operation of the acrylic bathtub is possible immediately after the service technicians leave.
If you decide to assemble the frame yourself, you should keep in mind that for different models acrylic bathtubs frames are individual. Moreover, frame designs are different not only for asymmetrical or corner products with individual form, but also for rectangular ones. Therefore, for the installation of each acrylic bathtub model, a manual has been developed that will help you understand the intricacies of the assembly. It is included with every product purchased from Aquanet.
However, there is also general order actions, unified for all models. For example, let's take a step-by-step look at how to assemble the frame of a corner acrylic bathtub .
Step 1. Turn the bathtub upside down and place it on flat surface, which will not damage or scratch the bathtub. In the corners of the bathtub, measure a distance of 40 mm from each side to determine the position of the center of the vertical stand.
Step 2. Screw the racks into the MDF inserts located in the corners of the bathtub, using two 3.5*16 self-tapping screws in each rack.
Step 3. Place the frame on the bottom of the bath so that it does not protrude beyond the dimensions of the bath, and connect it to three vertical posts with an M10 bolt and nut through holes with a diameter of 13 mm.
Step 4. Screw the frame with 3.5x40 self-tapping screws to the mortgage on the bottom of the bathtub in five places.
Step 5. Screw the corners into the MDF inserts, which are located around the perimeter on the front side, to support the front panel.
Step 6. Insert supports (flags) for fastening the front panel into holes with a diameter of 13 mm on the posts and secure with M10 locknuts.
Step 7 To open parts profile pipe insert plastic plugs 25x25.
Step 8 Install the legs into the holes on the frame with a diameter of 13 mm and secure them with nuts. Adjust the legs using a level. The height of the leg should be 640 mm.
Step 9 Install the front panel between the corners and the side of the bathtub so that there is an angle of 90 degrees between the panel and the bathtub. At the same distance from the side of the bath, you need to drill holes in the panel with a diameter of 8 mm opposite the flags.
Step 10 Screw the panel with 3.5x40 self-tapping screws, then screw in the decorative part of the plug.
Attention! According to SNiP ( Building codes and rules), the height of the acrylic bathtub from the floor to the top of the bathtub should be 60 centimeters. If the bathtub is used by children, disabled people and the elderly, then this figure is less - 50 cm.
Task two. How to install an acrylic clawfoot bathtub
Budget bathtub models, as a rule, are installed on so-called eco-legs, and not on a frame. They come with the bathtub. You need to install them yourself. Each model comes with instructions. But let's take a look at all the nuances of installing a bathtub on legs:
Step 1. Screw M12 nuts (lock nuts) onto M12 studs L = 200 mm on both sides at a distance of 3-4 cm. Then screw on the M12 legs made of black plastic on one side and secure them with locknuts.
Step 2. Place the bathtub upside down on a clean, flat surface. Measure the protruding part of the bathtub and mark the middle. 
Step 3. Place the first load-bearing profile of the frame on the bottom of the bathtub, 50 mm away from the edge of the embed. Connect the middle of the supporting profile with the middle of the mortgage and screw it in four places with 4.0*20 self-tapping screws, as in rice. 1.
Step 4. Measure 10 mm from the drain side and install a second supporting profile
Connect the middle of the profile with the middle of the mortgage and screw it in four places with 4.0*20 self-tapping screws.
Step 5. Install the legs into the 13 mm diameter holes of the supporting profile. On the side where the front panel will be installed, install a fastening flag with an M12 washer and an M12 nut. On the other side, install the legs and secure with an M12 nut, as on rice. 2.
Step 6. Adjust the height of the legs. The recommended height of the leg is 160 mm from the frame.
Attention! When installing a bathtub, the front panel, if it is already installed, must be removed. It must be attached to the product last.
Task three. How to fix an acrylic bathtub
Perhaps the simplest of tasks. If there is a reliable frame for installing a bathtub, it is usually not attached to the wall. But for inner peace, and especially if you place the bathtub on eco-legs, it is better to provide reliable fastening. To do this, you need to perform a number of actions.
Step 1. Measure the height from the floor to the edge of the bathtub side and mark the places where the corners are attached (see Fig. rice. 3).
Step 2. Using a drill with a diameter of 6 mm, make holes in the marked places and install dowels where the fastening corners should be screwed.
Attention! The bathtub should not hang on the mounting angles. To prevent this, you can adjust the height of the bathtub using the legs.
Task four. How to install the front panel
If you are not covering the bathtub with plasterboard and do not plan to mount it on a podium, then it is best to cover the front part with a front panel.
Step 1. To attach the front panel to the top (if provided), screw the mounting corners (4 pieces) with 4*16 self-tapping screws into the inserts located around the perimeter on the front side of the bathtub. When installing the mounting bracket, provide a distance to the side of the bath that is equal to the thickness of the front panel.
Step 2. Screw an M10 nut onto the front panel fastening flags (M10 stud with a welded perforated plate). Insert into the holes in the corners of the frame and fix it so that when installing the panel there is a 90 degree angle between the panel and the side of the bath.
Step 3. Install the front panel between the mounting brackets and the front of the bathtub edge. Align the panel. At the level of the flags and at the same distance from the edge of the front panel, drill two 8 mm holes. Screw the front panel with 4*16 self-tapping screws with the threaded part of the plug to the fastening flags and screw on the decorative part of the plug.
Attention! If you ordered a model with hydromassage equipment, then you need to take care to make grounding an acrylic bathtub.

Our old jacuzzi began to smell completely, the hydromassage itself had long been turned off, one of the nozzles burst, basically in the trash, so I bought this jacuzzi again...
The question arose which bathtub to buy. We will talk about choosing an acrylic bathtub without hydromassage with a size of 140cm-155cm, a corner design, symmetrical, as they also call “part or a quarter of a circle.” Hydromassage is no longer needed due to previous operating experience, I won’t go on and on about it, in general – no to hydromassage!
Next, we began studying the market for acrylic bathtubs. Of course, I didn’t really understand what the difference was between an acrylic bathtub for 10tr and 50tr, acrylic and acrylic. Therefore, I began to study the very bottom of the market, such brands as Triton (Triton), BAS (BAS), Aquatek, Appollo, 1Marka, maybe some other non-hire ones or individual models of more expensive brands fell here. I came across an Apollo bathtub on sale with glass headrests and a faucet for 13 rubles in total, but our faucet sticks out of the wall and no one is interested in redoing it, in general it’s no longer needed.
Online shopping is a separate matter. It seems that people don’t need money... On my first visit, I didn’t manage to buy any bathtub, or even talk about anything in particular. The answer was a call back and silence. Summer season, spat and went to the dacha. There he occasionally returned to this issue.
After much research, again, what size is the bathtub, 140cm or 155cm, do you need a seat in the bathtub, so that everything is included (frame, front panel, etc.) or separately. In general, we came up with a model from the manufacturer BAS XATIVA (Xativa), 143x143cm. And the size is just right, there’s a seat, and huge area bottom. We have two small children, so it’s perfect for them to splash around there. And the price was 12800 rubles. full set with delivery and lift to the floor. I finally got through to the BAS company store and, lo and behold, everything was in stock and I could place an order. The order took a week to complete, but was completed within a clearly stated time frame.
Installation baths BAS XATIVA (Xativa). Installers friendly to the online store were called, they tore out the old one, threw it away, and installed a new one. BUT! The bathtub was installed, and a thin layer of sealant was applied to the walls. I thought about laying tiles there, but during trial use, the bathtub began to sag inward with detachment from the wall. Those. It’s good that I didn’t lay the tiles, everything would have fallen off. Those. the bathtub does not have sufficient rigidity on its own frame; there was clearly not enough support point in the center of the bottom. This is where I probably realized the difference between a bath for 10 tr and 30 tr. I called the same installers, after a short argument, it was decided to fill the perimeter with sealant and install additional support from improvised means. In general, now there are no visible problems with deformation, everything is rigid. The extra support helped.
In principle, we are happy with the bathroom, as naturally with any new bathroom, with some reservations regarding the design, which is clearly not finalized. Next time I will look more closely at the design and thickness of the acrylic!
