Below will consider the pros and cons of each of these materials when creating small corner foxes.
- Cast iron. This material is activated in the creation of angular baths is not particularly often, because it does not have enough plasticity and is complicated in processing. Despite this, cast iron baths are considered the most durable, reliable and silent. However, in this material there are also its drawbacks - first of all the greater weight, which is why such products need a stronger installation, as well as the high cost of high-quality models from cast iron. Cast iron products are usually covered with a thick layer of enamel, which can let over time.
