Manufacturer

Thanks to modern technologies, it was possible to create high-quality models that have held leading positions in the plumbing accessories market for more than 10 years. Today it is considered a fairly successful and promising brand.
There are many shapes and models of bathing bowls on sale, which differ in cost and size. Thanks to this, it is possible to select products based on financial investments and basic requirements.
Advantages of acrylic plumbing fixtures
To produce these products, modern equipment and high-strength consumables are used. Experienced engineers offer a variety of options and solutions that allow you to get unusual bathtubs with many additional functions.
Positive reviews of Triton acrylic bathtubs prove their popularity among customers. They reflect the quality and style of these products.
Acrylic alloys have a number of positive qualities. These include:
- retains heat for 8 hours;
- has excellent sound insulation;
- not afraid of mechanical damage;
- the surface can be cleaned well using conventional care products;
- does not absorb harmful compounds from water;
- minimum weight;
- simple installation;
- snow-white surface.
Another advantage is its plasticity. Acrylic can take any shape during the execution of the model. To maintain the specified parameters, a frame is manufactured that follows the lines and bends of the product.
Installing a bathtub on bricks
No factory frame? No problem! We can install an acrylic bathtub on bricks. This option is even more reliable compared to the method of installing a bathtub on a factory-made frame.
The support can be solid or columnar.
Installing a bathtub on a solid brick base
An example of installing an acrylic bathtub on a brick
. First step. We temporarily install the bathtub in the place of its future installation and project a drain hole onto the base. This will give us the opportunity to leave a gap in the substrate to connect the drain.
Second step. We lay out the bricks over the entire supporting part of the container. We select the height so that the sides of the bath rise above the floor by no more than 600 mm. At the same time, we take into account that we will still have a 2-3 cm pillow made of polyurethane foam.
The bricks are laid on traditional cement mortar.
Third step. We assemble a frame made of sheet plywood around the perimeter of the brickwork. The height of such sheets should exceed the masonry by the thickness of the foam substrate. Don't forget to leave the drain hole unfilled.
Fourth step. We evenly foam the surface of the substrate with polyurethane foam, without going beyond the boundaries of the frame. We immediately apply pre-prepared sheet plywood onto the foam. We use moisture-resistant sheets 10 mm thick.
Foaming the bottom

Fifth step. We tightly plug the drain of the acrylic bathtub. At the same stage, we prepare about a liter of water and wooden supports to regulate the level of installation of the container.
Sixth step. We pour the previously prepared water into the container and place the bath on the substrate according to the building level.
Seventh step. While the polyurethane foam has not hardened, we adjust the evenness of the installation of the bathtub using supports. As a result, the water in the container should be evenly distributed around the drain, and the level should show “0”.
Eighth step. Having aligned the bathtub, pour water into it to about half the volume. Under the weight of water, the foam will not be able to lift the container, and the bath itself will take on the required slope.
Ninth step. Let the foam dry and remove the bath. If the edges of the container must be recessed into the wall, first outline the outline of the edge on the surface, and then make a recess in the wall for the edge of the bath. A hammer drill will help us with this. If a groove is not provided (this is not recommended if the walls are made of blocks, plasterboard or other lightweight material), at the level of the lower cut we simply fix a beam impregnated with an antiseptic, or a steel corner. We will additionally strengthen the supporting bar at the end with stops.
Tenth step. We return our container to its place and connect it to the sewer. We fill the gaps between the container and the bricks with foam. We install a decorative screen and baseboards.

Installing an acrylic bathtub on brick supports
Installing an acrylic bathtub on brick supports
First step. We bring the container into the bathroom.
Second step. We mark the base at the location where the brick supports are installed. The most correct option is to erect the pillars closer to the edges of the bend of the acrylic bathtub. If the container is long, an additional support can be erected in the middle.
Third step. Having outlined the places for laying the supports, we begin to prepare the cement mortar. We don’t prepare too much - we have to lay out no more than 20 bricks, so we don’t need any extra expenses.
Fourth step. Let's start laying. We place the support for the back of the bathtub at a height of 190 mm, and the pillar for the front edge of the tank is erected at 170 mm. The height of the middle support, if needed, is selected according to the situation, depending on the design of the bathtub being installed. The difference in height of the pillars will provide conditions for efficient drainage of water from the container.

Important note! Many modern acrylic bathtubs initially have a sloping bottom to ensure water drainage. If you have such a bathtub, set all the supports level, focusing on the top part.
Fifth step. We give the masonry about a day to dry and install the bath. We place the container slowly, moving it tightly towards the walls. We fill the gaps between the bricks and the bathtub with sealant.
If desired, you can additionally fix the bath to the wall using dowels and a metal profile. This type of fastening is used quite rarely, but still occurs.
Having made sure that the installation of the bathtub is correct, stable and even, we connect the sewerage system, install the mixer, mount the decorative screen and lay the baseboard on the bathtub.

Installing a bathtub in a tiled bathroom
All the methods described above imply that the tiles will be laid after the installation of the bathrooms. But what if you need to install an iron bathtub or shower cabin in a tiled room?
Installing a bathtub in a tiled room
- We will be of the opinion that the tiles are at a certain level and do not need to be re-laid. Then the installation process is greatly simplified;
- You need to level the floor and check it with the rules. You can install the bathtub on legs, a frame or bricks. Regardless of the method chosen, it is best to ensure a minimum gap between the wall and the bathtub;
- After connecting the plumbing connections of the toilet, bathtub and other consumers, it is important to close the gap between the wall and the side of the bathtub. To do this, use a flexible plinth (made of aluminum or plastic), sealant or pieces of tile;
Silicone for joints - First of all, the gap is covered with a layer of sealant. A plinth is installed on top of it. If the option with tile cladding is chosen, then sealant is first applied to the gap, and after it dries, the tile is installed. For its installation, you can use waterproof plaster;
- All that remains is to install the fan in the hood, mount the column or boiler, remove the remaining construction debris and check the correct connection.
