Acrylic bathtub is made of man-made organic materials, characterized by rich shapes, light weight, good surface finish, and low price. The cast iron bathtub is made of cast iron, and the surface is covered with enamel, so the weight is very heavy and it is not easy to produce noise during use. Regarding the difference between cast iron bathtub and acrylic bathtub, please see the analysis below.

1. Acrylic bathtub

Acrylic bathtub is made of artificial organic materials. It is characterized by rich shapes, light weight, good surface finish, and low price. However, artificial organic materials have poor high temperature resistance, poor pressure resistance, non-abrasion resistance, and easy aging of the surface. Disadvantages, so the surface of the acrylic bathtub rarely does not change color after three years of use.

However, some brand manufacturers use imported high-brightness and high-hardness special acrylic sheets for sanitary ware in their production, which overcomes some of the shortcomings of acrylic to a certain extent. If you usually use the bathtub less frequently, or the house needs to be renovated within a few years, then the acrylic bathtub is more suitable for you due to its good price-performance ratio.

Advantages of acrylic bathtub: low price, good insulation, and many styles.

2. Cast iron bathtub

Cast iron bathtubs are made of cast iron with enamel on the surface, so the weight is very heavy and it is not easy to produce noise during use. Because the casting process is more complicated, the cast iron bathtubs are generally simple in shape and expensive.

Advantages of cast iron bathtub: durable, low water injection noise, easy to clean.
