Modern Hot Tubs, Spas and Saunas
On the market today can be found a wide variety of bathtub models, from cutting edge designs to classical style to modern versions with traditional bases. The standard measurement for a conventional bathtub is 160 cm or 1.70 cm long x 70 cm wide. Smaller models (1.40 cm or 1.20 cm long x 70 cm wide) are designed for more limited spaces. Models even smaller than this are made and can be situated just about anywhere. Most bathtubs are made of acrylic and methacrylate materials, as the substances are resistant, maintain temperature very well and permit a wide array of designs. Other materials used are cast iron, which is highly resistant, and steel sheets, which are lighter in structure. Hydrotherapy bathtubs measure the same as conventional models but differ with respect to the features they offer. The interior of a Hydrotherapy hot tub contains a series of adjustable jets that produce different types of massages. The water massage consists of the release of pressure in the force of a water jet, with a variable proportion of air. The water massage combines the propulsion of these two elements. The system of ultrasound massage, the most innovative, involves an integral massage through sound waves. The most innovative designs allow the user to program the desired massage through digital screens that regulate temperature and duration and incorporate self-cleaning mechanisms. Water massage bathtubs are increasingly silent and innovative. Many companies offer combined bat tub-shower models with a steam bath option.

A sunken tub that reflects the owners hardy athleticism spare, lean, masculine, this bathing chamber goes back to the basics of good health—exercise, hygiene, relaxation—in surroundings that inspire health care, The earth-stone floor descends quickly into the bathing area. The few simple furnishings do not distract the mind from the strongly stated purpose of the room. The French doors at the end stand as silent reminders that the ultimate goal of this room is to lead outward from a pool of earth lit waters into the invigorating, sunlit day. A bathing area that in spite of its permanency seems transient—a momentary pause in a life of rigorous activity. |
| This serene, minimalist room invites you to lounge around the tub as much as it seduces you into the water No cold floors under bare feet for these bathers! In fact, the sensuous carpeting might even tempt you and a friend to stretch out on it after a bath and let its soft caressing fibers dry your skin by soaking up the water naturally. The black walls set off the white circular tub that dominates this room while the three levels seem to fold rather than step up to it. Two plain white towels are all that is needed to highlight the dark wall. A room devoid of color, where texture speaks to desire and says even more! |
