Equipping a bathroom is easy. It is more difficult to make this room perfect in every way. The main object in it, of course, is the bath itself. That is why her choice must be given special attention. An excellent solution to this issue would be the Triton bathtub. Reviews about it are very different, but the person always makes the final decision himself.
In the spirit of the times
The company "Triton" for 15 years engaged in the production of plumbing. The range of products is quite large:
- bathtubs;
- showers and trays;
- furniture for bathroom equipment;
- mixers.
The most widely represented on this list are baths. A variety of shapes and design features allows any customer to choose the right model. What is a Triton bathtub? Reviews about this product are mixed. This is natural, because each product has “pros” and “cons”. To begin with, it is worth noting that these bathtubs are made of relatively new synthetic material. Acrylic was invented in the middle of the 20th century, now it has found a new application. This artificial polymer marked the beginning of an era. The company management realized in time that this material is the future. So, with the efforts of specialists, a new generation product was created. User reviews helped them to take into account all the main points. The result is a decent product that can compete with the most famous world brands.
Design features
The company "Triton" presents a variety of products to its customers. In the price list there are models designed for both the average buyer and a person with a large income. Why is the Triton bath so good? Reviews of experts help to understand the intricacies of the design. Of course, you can buy a product, and then in practice daily study its merits. But it is better to find out everything in advance in order to be prepared for various surprises.
For example, not all models have drain-overflow devices. This is a significant drawback. But there are advantages in them. Such baths are not afraid of cracks and rust. Sheet acrylic gives you a full guarantee. A special place is occupied by bath models equipped with hydromassage and air massage. Usually, in order to adopt such procedures, you have to contact specialized institutions and spend significant funds on this. In this case, there is a unique opportunity to give yourself pleasure for free, without leaving home. Lying in the bathroom, you can choose the desired mode or turn on the backlight to create a romantic mood. Rest in it can only be compared with a visit to the specialist’s office.
Conditional classification
Bathtubs are usually made from sheet acrylic, but the source material itself can be of two types:
- Sheet prepared by conventional casting.
- Double layer extruded sheet. This composite material contains special additives that make it more ductile and resistant to various chemicals. In turn, this reduces its strength and makes the coating of the finished product more fragile.
It is from these blanks that the Triton bathtub is usually made. Reviews of each of the options allow you to add up a general impression of the product and choose the one that suits you the most. Of course, molded acrylic is more durable and reliable, but at the same time, products from it have two significant drawbacks:
- High price due to the high cost of raw materials.
- Limited design.
But composite acrylic can change each of these shortcomings for the better. Firstly, it is much cheaper. This is despite the fact that such sheets are manufactured at a special factory in Denmark. Secondly, due to its plasticity, it allows you to produce products of the most bizarre forms.
General Opinion about Triton Baths
Recently, more and more often in specialized stores, the Russian acrylic bathtub “Triton” has become the object of acquisition. Reviews about her are the most positive. There are, of course, undesirable points. But without them, as you know, can not do. The most unforeseen thing may happen:
- the bath turned yellow (this also happens);
- stratification of the coating occurred;
- visible cracks appeared on the surface during operation;
- there was no instruction or warranty card in the package .
What to do in these cases? Knowledgeable people advise: when buying such a product, you must know exactly the conditions for its return. If the above problems have occurred with him, then within a year he can be returned or exchanged. What else can happen to the bathroom during operation? There are different situations, but most often:
- Problems with the drain-overflow device. The rotary mechanism may break or the outer ring may fly off around the handle. In this case, you will have to change the entire device with a siphon, since there are no such spare parts on sale. This defect can be corrected by calling the wizard from the service center.
- The inner surface of the bathroom is easily scratched. This can only be avoided by careful handling. In no case should you use powder detergents.
- There are claims that concern installation and connection. But this issue is easy to solve if you invite not an amateur, but an electrician to work.
Otherwise, the operation of such a bath does not cause any problems. In addition, since 2013, the manufacturer’s warranty has been increased to 10 years for the bath itself and up to 5 years for its components.
Optimal option
The best option for those who want to combine reasonable price and good quality are Triton Standard bathtubs. Customer reviews of them fully confirm this.
The bathtub is made from a single sheet of acrylic. Two types of special coatings are applied to its inner part : anti- slip and anti-bacterial “Anti-tank”. Installing such a bath does not require much effort. In the kit there is a special kit consisting of legs, a cross-member and a wall mount device. Upon purchase, you can immediately purchase protective screens for insulation of external surfaces.
The bath is very light, holds heat well and is quite resistant to possible scratches. Caring for her is very simple. It is only necessary to avoid particularly aggressive environments, so as not to violate the integrity of the material. A rough bottom avoids a possible fall, but makes it difficult to drain. The remaining moisture is difficult to remove. This is perhaps the most important drawback of this model.
Room decoration
In order to fully equip a room, it is possible to purchase furniture for a bathroom from the Triton company. Customer reviews say that it’s better to do it right away. Thus, it will be possible to solve the whole problem and turn the bathroom into a fully functional functional room. For this, the manufacturer has everything necessary.
Buyers are invited to purchase: cabinets for sinks, ordinary mirrors and mirror cabinets, wall cabinets, as well as pencil cases and half-cases. Each type of product is represented by several models, which differ in external characteristics and overall dimensions. Thus, based on the usable area of the room, you can equip it according to your desire with everything you need. All furniture is made of materials (MDF with a glossy film, laminated particleboard), suitable for use in rooms with high humidity. The range includes both elite models and economy-class furniture.
Variety of choices
The most widely represented in the assortment list of the enterprise are acrylic bathtubs “Triton Standard”. External reviews confirm the attention of buyers to this product. First of all, the price attracts. Many consider this factor to be the main one, and it is on the basis of it that they are guided in their choice.
The bath is very simple. It has a standard rectangular shape, a single height (56 centimeters) and a width (70-75 centimeters). But in terms of length, the product is represented by four models (from 140 to 170 centimeters). For its manufacture, 2 materials are used: acrylic and plastic. The bath warms up quickly enough and keeps heat for a long time. This markedly distinguishes it from cast-iron and metal models.
“Standard” is the simplest version of the bathroom. Its design is much lighter than the rest due to the fact that it does not have special inserts for attaching the hydromassage system. The rest of the model is fully consistent with its characteristics. But it turns out, and she is not immune from accidents.
There are situations when the acrylic layer gives a crack. What to do in this case? First, we must remember that no more than 10 years should pass from the moment of purchase. Secondly, it is necessary to photograph the place of the defect and, taking the documents with you, contact the place of purchase of the goods. There you will need to write a statement, after which all materials will be sent to the manufacturer for a final decision. It will take some time, but there is no other way to resolve the issue.
In the spirit of the times
The manufacturing company is trying to keep up to date and not limited to simplified designs. She constantly studies demand and tries to satisfy the desires of all customers whenever possible. So, among other models in 2013, a new option appeared - the bathtub “Emma Triton”. Reviews about her are only positive.
This new product took into account the shortcomings of previous models and gathered only the best of them: attractive appearance, optimal size and excellent quality. "Emma" has a built-in hydromassage system, which allows you to take water procedures with special comfort. The design is designed for maximum convenience: comfortable armrests, reclining backrest, special seat for the headrest. In addition, the built-in "drain-overflow" system allows you not to think about the fact that water can leak over the edges. And small overall dimensions allow you to install such a beauty in the bathroom of any standard new building.
But not without a "fly in the ointment." It happens that during use, the moving bottom bends, and non-metallic massage nozzles simply fall out. Gaps are formed in the attachment points, where water constantly flows and accumulates between the bottom and the frame. Removing it is almost impossible. There is an unpleasant odor, which, of course, creates discomfort. The way out of this situation is only careful use.
