As anyone with a bit of life experience knows, bathtubs can be a love-hate thing. Most people love to take a bath but hate to be washed. Can not understand is the Korean family, it seems to be the necessity of every family, do not buy the finished bathtub, all rely on brick, wash once have to spend half an hour, domestic family: every day to wash actually not that spare time!
Everyone loves a bath, especially in the winter, and it can be a real cure for a lengthy day at work. There are wholesale bath bombs.
When decorating, we all prefer to buy finished bathtubs, which are lovely and convenient to install, but Korean owners are keen on brick building. In fact, there are three main reasons:
1, children playing with water is convenient. If there are children at home, brick is more suitable for them to play with water, but also directly stand inside to bathe children, if the house is a big home you can learn.
2, the degree of freedom is higher, the size of the brick is not limited, it can be designed according to the actual size, the requirements for space is not so great, there will be no bathtub size is not suitable to install the problem.
Domestic bathtubs will choose to be placed in the main bathroom, but South Korea is more inclined to install them in the guest bathroom. One is a large space, two is the whole family can use, three is normally not high bath frequency, the shower and bathtub installed together will affect the experience. This may sound tempting to families with children, but it's true that the bathroom is a bit bigger and is totally fine to use as a mini-pool.
Despite the typical brick bathtubs in Korean bathrooms, there are numerous details hidden inside, such as:
(1) Insulation, The biggest problem of brick bathtub is that the water is cool quick, especially in winter heat dissipation is rapid, not heat preservation, a pool of water will be cool for a while, can not soak for long, so insulation measures are essential.
(2) Arc brick, brick bathtub surrounding edges and corners are extremely much, paving arc brick can very well avoid bump hidden trouble.
(3) Anti-slide brick, considering the safety of children playing with water, brick bathtub as much as possible to choose anti-slide brick, so that you do not have to worry about foot slipping and fall, in addition to the design of the steps.
If the bathroom space is overly tiny, you can also directly sink the bottom area of the shower room, to realize the shower and bathtub two in one, normally do not need to install the water bar and also do not worry about the water overflow. There are a lot of this design in foreign countries, but less in China. It can only be realized on the first floor of villas and self-built houses. Otherwise, if you want it, the downstairs neighbors will not agree.
In the final analysis, brick bathtub and finished bathtub have their own advantages. Don't think that a brick bathtub is necessarily inexpensive. In fact, if various details are handled nicely, and thermal insulation measures are taken, the price is not lower than the finished bathtub. But the most unacceptable should be the cleaning problem, actually a huge problem!
