Of course, there are drawbacks. Acrylic products are sensitive to physical shock and damage. Relatively models of cast iron, they are less. Also acrylic bath installation must be performed on a hard frame, that it does not lose its shape over time.
Set the bath in two ways:
- the carcass frame with legs, which are usually included;
- on brick frame.
If the product is sold with a special frame and supports, the installation it can be produced more easily and securely, because this method is provided by the manufacturer.

All of these products are created with the right angle. obviously, that must be strictly angle between walls 90 degrees. Check angle by using the construction gon. In most cases, you have to resort to additional measures to align the walls.
This is followed again choose, how to install acrylic bathtub: on feet, reaching complete, or brick base. And the installation process does not differ from the installation of direct and acrylic models.
Installation of cast-iron baths

- Start the installation of cast iron tubs on legs to turn it on its side so, that the drain hole is in closest proximity to the drain in the floor;
- We are continuing to siphon assembly;
- We continue coup baths and aligned horizontally using a spirit level;
- Completing the installation of the bath to foot ends catch bolts or wedges (depending leg structures).
It should be remembered, that when installing a bath on legs, it is required under the flat floor. However, pulling the floor will not be required, if installing the tub on bricks.

Before, how to install a bath, it must be turned upside down. In this position, the legs are set. A pair of legs should be installed next to a drain hole. Second - as close as possible to the opposite edge, but, the height of the towers was the same.
After that there is installation of the steel bath on legs, i.e, she is turned to the normal position. Then you need to collect a siphon and connect the top and bottom drainage holes. The spirit level and adjust the clamping bolts legs should ensure evenness bath installation.
The space under the bath is recommended to lay the bricks. This will provide additional structure stability, It reduces the likelihood of bending and curving. Then the brickwork can be oblitsevat tiles.
