Installing the acrylic insert in the bath from sometime is an alternative to replacing an old bath with a new one. In theory, everything looks simple enough: there are acrylic liners of standard sizes, one is selected from this ruler and placed on top of the old enamel. The voids between the bathroom and the liner are filled with mounting foam. When installing, align the drain holes. Then the bath is filled with water, which will act as a load. In this state, the container remains for two days, after which the water is drained. This is how the acrylic insert is installed in the bath.
The cost of such a restoration consists ofseveral values: the cost of the liner, auxiliary materials, metal components for equipping the drain holes, the cost of delivery and repair work. Nevertheless, the price is much lower than the cost of a new bath. That's why people are increasingly choosing instead of replacing acrylic inserts in baths. Reviews about them after the start of operation are the most controversial: from positive to sharply negative. Let us dwell on them in more detail.
Acrylic inserts in baths: reviews are positive
So, what are the arguments of the supportersliners made of acrylic? The first of them is the price: to change the bath is much more expensive than to restore it. The second argument is the minimum time frame and a small amount of work. After the visit of the gage and the delivery of the liner, it takes no more than three days, and most of the time it takes the exposure of the insert under the load. Still acrylic is not slippery (safety is increased), warm, slowly gives out heat and it is well washed.
Acrylic inserts in baths: negative reviews
The opponents of the arguments are no less:The insertion can break if not all voids have been filled with foam. But this is rather a lack of installation. Another acrylic is easily scratched, it can darken and become cloudy. And at the very beginning of the operation, the liners are still creaking - like snow underfoot. Not dangerous, but quite unpleasant. Especially frightening list of requirements for use: do not clean with abrasives, do not wash animals, do not wash dyeing fabrics, do not stand up, do not drop anything! It would be desirable to ask: "And how it in general to use?"
So, what about the acrylic inserts inbaths? The responses were divided approximately in half, and on average the attitude to such restoration is quite unambiguous. Most believe that the acrylic liner is a short-lived replacement, and it makes sense if you do not want to pay for a full replacement bath. For example, if you rent or rent an apartment, or are going to sell housing in a year or two. Then, of course, there is no need to invest money in overhaul. And all disagreements are caused by the individual attitude of each person to the question of whether it is worth paying a relatively small amount of money for a short-lived (perhaps) bathroom repair. Theoretically, the service life of the acrylic insert is 15-20 years. But for this, it is necessary to order restoration in a well-established firm and to fulfill all safety requirements during operation.
