How to choose a bath for two: sizes, shapes and recommendations

Bathtubs for two have recently gained wide popularity. They look spectacular and provide an opportunity to rest and relax after a working day, not alone, but with your loved one. Double bathtub can be of various shapes and designs, for every taste.

A bathtub for two is a spacious font for romantic meetings and comfortable relaxation.

Nevertheless, not everyone likes this idea. The most common arguments against a double bath are:

• increased costs for the purchase and installation of the bath;
• the need to increase the area of ​​the bathroom so that there is enough space, a large bowl will not enter the standard small-sized bathroom;
• more water is spent compared to solitary;
• the need to further strengthen the floor, in case the bath is made of cast iron;
• the cost of additional water and sewage;
• you need to buy a waterfall faucet to fill the bath faster.

However, all these issues are completely resolvable. You can choose an inexpensive option if financial opportunities do not allow you to make unnecessary expenses. There are corner bath models that take up less space. Instead of a heavy cast-iron bowl, it is easier to purchase a light acrylic (or from another material that does not weigh as much as cast iron). And all the cons go aside compared to the pleasure of taking a bath with a loved one. In addition, in such a font is much more comfortable and spacious even when alone.

Which material to prefer

1. Acrylic and quartz - bathtubs from such material weigh a little. They are available in a variety of forms, thanks to the elastic properties of acrylic. When filled with water, a characteristic loud noise is not created. Such a font retains heat for a long time, and will last a long time. Quaril (acrylic with the addition of quartz) does not tolerate very hot water. This must be considered when using.
   

   The most durable - cast acrylic bathtubs

2. Cast iron is a traditional stainless material for bathtubs. It is resistant to cracks and other mechanical stresses. Cons - a large weight of cast-iron bathtubs and enamel instability under the influence of high temperatures.
   

   Classic cast iron bathtubs are still in demand due to their affordable cost.

3. Steel - such bathtubs are lighter than cast iron and are also affordable. However, enamel can quickly collapse. In addition, water creates a lot of noise during set-up and cools quickly due to the thermal conductivity of the steel.
   

   Steel baths, as a rule, come in only the simplest forms.

4. Artificial stone is a rather expensive material, although cheaper than natural stone. But a tangible plus - a spectacular appearance and a variety of designs. These bathtubs are silent and well retain heat.
   

   Stone bathtubs weigh a lot more acrylic and steel models

Shockproof glass, wood and copper bathtubs are also available. But they are not so common, and are usually made to order.

The choice of colors for a double bath

• Pastel shades. The classic choice is a bathtub decorated in pastel colors. It can be beige, sand tint, pale pink, light blue, etc.The color should match the overall design of the room and its style. Such a design would be appropriate in a room with walls of brighter colors.
  

  Classic white heart-shaped bathtub

• Saturated tones. Often, brighter colors are used to design a double bathroom. These are shades of red (burgundy, wine, scarlet), black, and others. Red tones are popular in heart shaped bowl designs. Elegant black will give the font a spectacular appearance. In order that it does not look gloomy, it is recommended to make it glossy.
  

  Burgundy double bathtub with glass insert

How a double bath is combined with different bathroom design options

A double bath can be a great addition to the interior of a bathroom for two, and even its main emphasis. The most important thing is to correctly take into account the features of the style in which the room is decorated.

The appearance of the bath should be in harmony with the surrounding interior

1. Scandinavian style - an ergonomic corner bathtub in white is suitable here. Plumbing (faucets, watering cans, etc.) should be discreet and minimalistic.
2. Country or chalet style - beige is best used. An oval bowl of artificial stone, standing on its legs, will look good.
3. Art Deco - a large rectangular bathtub will harmoniously enter the interior. You can use the finish with imitation stone.
4. Retro - antique style. A freestanding massive round bowl, preferably on legs, would be appropriate. All plumbing accessories should also be retro-style - for example, brass taps with large valves.
5. Hi-tech - a rectangular bathtub for two will look best. Round or oval in such an interior would be inappropriate.
