| English | Taking into account physically satisfying posture and ergonomics, the bathtub shape can be adjusted to person’s body type, minimising the water required to fill it: smaller for children – larger for adults. Heat transfer between the hot water and the rubber surface occurs at a lower rate due to the rubber’s low thermal conductivity. Subsequently, it is not required to overheat the water, in order to compensate for the loss of heat absorbed from the tile surface. This saves energy and also creates a comfortable environment. Moreover, rubber texture is closer to skin texture, so it implies a friendlier physical contact with the human body. |
