It is also a little expensive, but it makes durable and beautiful bathroom furniture.<\/p>\n<p>This is Acrylic bathtub we recommend:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\"  data-aawp-product-asin=\"B07RVT29P5\" data-aawp-product-id=\"17927\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tcbamboo-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"WOODBRIDGE 59  Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub Contemporary Soaking Tub with Brushed Nickel Overflow and Drain B-0012 \/ BTA1506\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"asin\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RVT29P5?tag=tcbamboo-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"WOODBRIDGE 59&#039; Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub Contemporary Soaking Tub with Brushed Nickel Overflow...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/4194A01jxUL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"WOODBRIDGE 59&#039; Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub Contemporary Soaking Tub with Brushed Nickel Overflow...\" title=\"\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RVT29P5?tag=tcbamboo-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"WOODBRIDGE 59&#039; Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub Contemporary Soaking Tub with Brushed Nickel Overflow...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            WOODBRIDGE 59\" Acrylic Freestanding Bathtub Contemporary Soaking Tub with Brushed Nickel Overflow...        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__footer\">\n\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__pricing\">\n            \n                            <span class=\"aawp-product__price aawp-product__price--current\"><\/span>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n                <a class=\"aawp-button aawp-button--buy aawp-button aawp-button--amazon aawp-button--icon aawp-button--icon-black\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07RVT29P5?tag=tcbamboo-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1\" title=\"Buy On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Buy On Amazon<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n\n<p>What stands out about acrylic is the unique ceramic-like appearance that stands out in every place.

Well, we could say that acrylic tends to be stronger and more resistant to cracks &amp; impacts. Breaking an acrylic product takes a lot of strength and bad luck. Vikrell, on the other hand, is lighter and doesn\u2019t withstand impacts that easily.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to resistance against chemicals, then acrylic loses a few points. Vikrell will resist most chemicals without discoloring or staining. In contrast, acrylic will react negatively to harsh chemicals or even simple shampoos or soaps.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it all depends. While acrylic is a sturdier material, it is not a chemically-resistant as Vikrell. So in durability, it is a tie.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Appearance\"><\/span>Appearance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is hard to compare because both Vikrell and acrylic look amazing. However, there\u2019s a slight difference to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Vikrell is a high-gloss material. It offers uniform color and rarely stains or builds up dirt. But its non-porous surface is one of the smoothest in the market, so it looks super stylish in the majority of cases. Sadly, Vikrell is mostly found in white \u2013 which is a drawback.<\/p>\n<p>Acrylic doesn\u2019t stay behind. It is a decently looking material as well, with a slightly glossier appearance. Yet, it is a little porous, which makes it easy to stain and get dirty. And it doesn\u2019t hold the same smoothness as Vikrell. Luckily, you can find acrylic in many different colors.<\/p>\n<p>So, both materials look beautiful in most products, but they don\u2019t have the same characteristics. If you want something that looks super smooth and uniform, then go for Vikrell. But if you want something in a wide array of colors with a super glossy appearance, then go for acrylic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cleaning\"><\/span>Cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>They provide similar results in durability and appearance, but they\u2019re totally different when it comes to cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Vikrell, for example, is super resilient and resists all types of chemicals. And it boasts an ultra-smooth surface, so there\u2019s rarely any dirt or build-up to clean. You can just wipe the surface with a moist rag or towel, and you will clean Vikrell in a dime.<\/p>\n<p>Acrylic, on the other hand, is decently smooth yet not as mu<em>c<\/em>h as Vikrell, so it gets dirty faster, and it can be a little harder to clean. And because it contains an acrylic surface, it is not as resilient towards chemicals as Vikrell.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Vikrell is an easier material to clean. While acrylic is better than many others out there, it just doesn\u2019t offer the smoothness or the easy-to-clean surface that Vikrell does.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Common Difference Between Vikrell vs. Acrylic Durability Cleaning\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/attic-bathroom-with-bathtub-PEEXNF4-1-788x525.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reparation\"><\/span>Reparation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even though many people don\u2019t consider this when buying furniture for their bathroom, it is also essential to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, you may break, crack, or split the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/creatinghome.net\/best-inflatable-hot-tub-for-winter\/\">bathtub<\/a><\/strong>, shower set, or even the sink. And replacing the entire product can be a little too expensive or just unnecessary. In that case, you can always repair the piece.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, it all comes down to how well the material can handle the repair. So it is necessary to consider if they\u2019re worth the investment in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s start with Vikrell. It contains a lot of fiberglasses, so when it cracks or splits, it doesn\u2019t go too far. And just like any type of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fiberglass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fiberglass<\/a>, it is inexpensive and doesn\u2019t require too much effort to repair. With the right epoxy resin, then you can quickly fix any crack or split.<\/p>\n<p>With acrylic, you won\u2019t have as much luck. Acrylic tends to crack more, due to the layer in the surface. Unlike fiberglass layers on Vikrell, acrylic is a little more solid and difficult to fix with resins or similar products. In fact, when acrylic breaks, it is often not fixable.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is that Vikrell is a little more fragile than acrylic, so while it fixes more easily than acrylic, it tends to break more often. In contrast, acrylic rarely breaks. But when it does, repairing it can be difficult or almost impossible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span>Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to value for the price &amp; quality, there\u2019s also a slight difference to consider. Vikrell tends to be the most affordable of the two. But it happens because Vikrell is not as resilient towards breakage, which is the most common issue with this material.<\/p>\n<p>Acrylic is not so affordable, and it all comes down to its super glossy appearance and heavy design that stands impacts more effectively. But it may stain more easily.<\/p>\n<p>So, what material is the best value for your money? Well, we can say that Vikrell is the best if you\u2019re going for affordability over anything else. But if you want something sturdy that handles the weight of time \u2013 then acrylic is your best bet despite being pricier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vikrell_vs_Acrylic_Which_One_to_Go_for\"><\/span>Vikrell vs. Acrylic: Which One to Go for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is not an easy pick, as both materials are super similar and offer the same amount of advantages and disadvantages. But we can say that if you want something that never stains and is a piece of cake to clean, then Vikrell should be your go-to option. It is also decently durable and comes at a fantastic cost.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, if you\u2019re going for something more \u201chigh-end\u201d that looks glossier and offers sturdy construction, then go for acrylic. It is a little more expensive but way more durable than Vikrell.<\/p>\n<p>But it is your choice in the end. We recommend taking a good look at the product you\u2019re considering before making any choice. Do that, and you\u2019ll know which one to pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the most common bathroom materials nowadays are Vikrell and acrylic.
