Acrylic Bathtub

Acrylic is a trending choice for bathtub material because it’s low maintenance, lightweight, affordable, and available in a large variety of colors, shapes, and designs to suit a vast array of needs.

Before your jump to upgrade your bathroom with an acrylic tub, it’s best to know all the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic tubs.

What is an Acrylic Bathtub? 

The acrylic tub is made from clear plastic that is vacuum-formed and reinforced with fiberglass layers to increase durability. Since the material is inherently soft, it’s the best material for a wide variety of tub shapes and sizes.

Also, the flexible base plastic material of the acrylic tub makes it easy to customize your acrylic tub to the size, color, shape, and style you prefer.

Acrylic is lightweight, so it can be installed at any level of the bathroom. It’s also easy to maintain, damage-resistant and repairable.

Affordability

When considering the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic tubs, affordability is one of the best advantages that set acrylic tubs apart. While they are popular to be more expensive than fiberglass tubs, acrylic tubs are one of the most affordable bathtub options currently on the market.
