Default Baths - Steel or acrylic - Which is best?

"TheScullster" typed


Make sure, if you go acrylic, that it is well supported, both
underneath the
base and round the rim.
I bought a reinforced "aqanite coated" acrylic bath, supported it with a 2"
x 1" timber frame all round.
Cetainly solid enough for a 13 stoner.

Erm, surely the weight of the bather is hardly the issue, as the water
in the tub usually weighs rather more??

I don't know how many litres/gallons normally fill a tub but I suspect
it's rather more than 90 litres/20 gallons (which weigh 14 stone)
