Cast iron bath - pros and cons

Cast iron is a solid and brittle alloy at the same time. Don't worry, though. Cracking a cast-iron bathtub will take some effort. The cast-iron bathtub is covered with two layers of enamel, which will serve you for about 10-30 years. A bathtub made of this material has a phenomenal lifespan.

Some disadvantages of cast iron baths:

  • A small range of sizes.
  • Impressive weight (80-150 kg).
  • The high cost of eliminating enamel defects.

It is better not to mount a cast-iron bath in wooden houses on the second and higher floors.

Due to its large dimensions, the product may not be suitable for installation in an apartment building.
