Peculiarities
Among the huge variety of bathtubs on the market today, oval models stand out. Smooth lines and streamlined shapes such models look very elegant and stylish, and according to the teachings of feng shui, they are the best option for baths. According to the followers of this ancient philosophy, the absence of sharp corners ensures the unhindered circulation of positive energy and creates a favorable indoor environment. Moreover, today the oval bathtub is considered a sign of luxury, and its owner is the owner of good taste.
The dimensions of modern oval fonts are no different from the dimensions of traditional rectangular bathtubs, which makes it easy to fit them even into small bathrooms. For a small space, a compact model measuring 120x70 cm is suitable, while in spacious rooms you can purchase a 240x150 cm tank that can hold 530 liters of water. The most popular sizes of oval baths are 150x70, 170x80 and 170x70 cm. Many of them are equipped with hydro and air massage systems, and more expensive items are equipped with devices for aromatherapy and chromotherapy, a disinfection system, lighting and other useful options.

Views
The classification of oval baths is made according to such criteria as the place of installation and the material of manufacture of the bowl.According to the first criterion, wall, free-standing and built-in samples are distinguished.
Wall-mounted
They are installed along the wall and can be adjacent to it or be at a distance of several centimeters. The advantages of this location are ergonomic use of space and easy installation. The models are installed on metal legs or on a special podium, and a curtain rod is fixed on top, repeating the shape of the bath. This design is very functional and looks quite harmonious.

Freestanding
They look very sophisticated and embody wealth and style. They require a lot of space, where they play the role of a central element. In the center of the room, both models with metal legs and tall models with a flat bottom look equally good. The main thing is to choose the right plumbing accessories and decorate the room in the appropriate style.
The only drawback of free-standing samples is the need to lengthen the plumbing communications, bring them to the device and hide them in the floor.

Built-in
They are a very unusual sight and are often installed in cottages. Their installation requires the construction of a podium or, on the contrary, the formation of a depression in the floor, which is why this is rarely practiced in apartment buildings. The bathtub is installed flush or with a slight rise above the floor or podium level, which looks very impressive. Stone, ceramic tiles or wood are used as decorative finishing of podiums.
The disadvantages of such structures are complex installation, requiring engineering calculations, and a large load on the floor.

Manufacturing materials
For the manufacture of oval baths are usually used acrylic, steel, cast iron, natural stone, copper and ceramics.
Acrylic
It is one of the best modern materials. It is distinguished by high noise absorption, good strength, hypoallergenicity and good maintainability. Moreover, the good plasticity of the material makes it possible to manufacture hot tubs with anatomical and decorative relief and build massage systems into them. The advantages of acrylic bathtubs include non-slip surface, light weight and high hygienic properties.
The surface of acrylic bathtubs has antibacterial coating, which leaves no chance for pathogenic bacteria and fungus. Moreover, acrylic can be painted very well in different colors, which makes it possible to produce bathtubs in a large color palette.
The disadvantages of acrylic models include the inability to use abrasive and chemical detergents and deformation of the bowl from prolonged exposure to hot water. However, the latter is found only in samples of poor quality, the bowl of which is made of less than 5-6 layers of acrylic.

Cast iron

Its advantages include low thermal conductivitywhich allows the water to stay hot for a long time and has an excellent sound-absorbing effect. In addition, cast iron fonts resistant to chemicals, very durable and, thanks to modern technology, can be painted in any color. The disadvantages include too much weight, due to which transportation and self-assembly are rather difficult.
