Why enameled cast-iron bathtubs are called the “king of bathtubs”

Enameled cast-iron bathtubs are made by pouring molten metal into a mold, which is then coated with multiple glass layers.
Enameled cast iron is not only elegantly beautiful but also incredibly functional in terms of strength, heat storage, and cleanliness, making it a superb bathroom material.

Bath time at its best can change your life

“I feel like I can go the extra mile.” “Every day feels fulfilling.”
An enameled cast-iron bathtub is a treat you give yourself along life’s journey. Giving yourself time to rest and recharge ensures you can keep moving forward. Your bath time at the end of the day will become a cherished moment of relaxation.

Forever strong and clean

Strength, warmth, cleanliness—
these are the reasons people choose enameled cast iron

A material that’s durable and practical for everyday use.
Enameled cast iron meets all our bathtub needs.
It represents the pinnacle of quality, offering exceptional strength, warmth, and cleanliness.

Enameled cast iron has everything a bathtub needs

Enameled cast iron is made by baking multiple layers of a vitreous glaze onto metal.
Not only is this material heavy and strong, its surface is always clean and has a high heat storage capacity.
This coating technology is part of the distinctive craftsmanship employed by Takara standard.

Point 2 Warm
Point 3 Strong

Point 1 Clean

Easy to remove dirt and keep clean

A big advantage is that the glass layer has a dense molecular structure,
making it difficult for dirt and germs to adhere to it.
Since the bathtub is in constant contact with your skin, hygiene is a particular point of focus.
And even when it gets dirty, the dirt can be easily removed,
freeing up time that would otherwise be spent on cleaning.

Keeps clean 1

A vitreous surface that’s easy to clean

The surface of the enameled cast-iron bathtub is covered in a glass layer.
It’s the smoothest of all bathtubs―about five times smoother than a conventional bathtub―
making it easy to remove dirt.

Keeps clean 2

Direct contact with your skin makes cleanliness all the more important

It’s easier to remove germs and dirt from the vitreous surface of enameled cast-iron bathtubs, making them more hygienic than conventional bathtubs.
Because the bathtub comes into direct contact with your skin, you feel clean and comfortable.

Note: The photos show the results of washing with water three days after approximately 50,000 Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, which are a source of stains and sliminess, were applied to and left on the surface of an enameled cast-iron bathtub and an FRP bathtub, respectively, at room temperature.

A smoothness that lets you easily remove dirt

Cleaning the vitreous surface is easy. Everyday dirt can be quickly washed away with just water and a sponge.
Even oil-based pen stains resembling sebaceous stains can be cleaned away simply with hot water.

Point 2 Warm

Gradually warms to your core.
Enameled cast iron has high heat storage properties.

A major feature of enameled cast-iron bathtubs is that the bathtub itself has the ability to store heat.
It warms your body to the core, and the heat doesn’t dissipate easily, helping you feel that much more comfortable after a bath.

Comparison of thermography after bathing

An enameled cast-iron bathtub radiates heat via the bathtub itself, ensuring heat is retained for much longer.

Double thermal structure

Double heating effectHeat from the bathtub slowly warms you

The enameled cast iron itself stores heat, which means you are also warmed by the bathtub. This double heating effect from the hot water and bathtub warms your body to the core, leaving you feeling warm for much longer, similar to bathing in a hot spring.

Point 3 Strong

A material that withstands impacts

An enameled cast-iron bathtub weighs over 100 kg and is highly resistant to impact.
Not only is the body of the bathtub resistant to deformation from impacts, the surface has a dense glass coating, which makes it hard and resistant to scratches, ensuring it retains its beauty for a long time.

The backrest, which fits your back snugly and supports your body, has a shape that lets you feel the warmth of the cast metal over a wider area of your body. This amplifies the warming effects of bathing even more.

Designed to fit a relaxed posture

The design distributes body pressure whether in a shallow or deep position.
This ensures you can easily get into a comfortable position while bathing.
