Los Angeles, CA (May 22, 2012) – Ella’s Bubbles

Laimonis Magone, CEO of Ella’s Bubbles, manufacturer of luxury acrylic walk-in tubs, was recently featured in the May issue of The Beverly Hills Times Magazine.

From Beverly Hills in Chicago Illinois to Beverly Hills in California, the walk-in bathtub industry is booming. Not only because of an aging population, but also due to a solution that has been provided for young and old that thrives on promoting an independent lifestyle. The appeal is high quality, acrylic walk in baths that are built to last. “The walk-in bathtub industry is fairly new and it is challenging for the customers to make the right choice,” stated Laimonis Magone, CEO and Founder of Ella’s Bubbles. “Independent bathing may be one of the main enjoyments the elderly may have, so a good quality walk-in bathtub could make a big difference in their lives when the time calls.”

In the preliminary phase of design, the walk-in bathtub is conceptualized with state of the art 3D design software such as CAD or Autodesk, which takes into consideration the optimization of every single angle for the practicality and comfort.  Next we move on to the assembly.

Let’s examine the five basic steps:   

1. The walk-in tub first starts out as a welded stainless steel frame.
2. The trimmed acrylic shell of the tub that has been vacuum formed is joined to the frame using fiberglass to make it a monolithic structure.  After the fiberglass is cured, the gel-coat is applied to add a second barrier of sealant to cover the abrasive nature of the fiberglass.
3. The door is installed and the holes for the jets and the fixtures are drilled.
4. The jets and drains are installed onto the shell and the equipment is installed.
5. The fixtures and all of the hoses and wires are connected.

Acrylic vs. Fiberglass

As a consumer, you might want, or need to know the difference between acrylic vs. fiberglass or FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) production process:

Pros: The acrylic material is used in higher-end walk-in bathtubs.

Walk-in tubs that are made from the highest quality grade-A cast acrylic sheet are top of the line. The acrylic shell’s surface is a scratch resistant, high-gloss finish and is very easy to clean.

Acrylic has a longer lifespan than fiberglass which has a tendency to warp and/or change shape with age and temperature changes.

Cons: While fiberglass (also called glass-reinforced plastic, GRP) is less expensive, it’s also less durable and less reliable over time. Many of the fiberglass units available today will have bowed and warped in just a few years from normal usage. When you want to contain 500 pounds of water, you should certainly choose the strongest material available.

Fiberglass gel coat materials are factory spray painted and the quality of finish varies.

How can the discerning eye of the consumer tell the difference, you ask?

If you look closely, you may see a wavy surface or inconsistencies in the paint which is sprayed over the fiberglass.  Acrylic, on the other hand, will have a smooth seamless surface with a high gloss finish.

Fiberglass uses thousands of glass strands with resin that holds them together.  They are applied to a form which is in the shape of the end product.  Ella acrylic tubs are made of a single piece of acrylic and are of the highest quality.

The simple things we take for granted like walking up a flight of stairs, typing e-mails, opening a can of soup, getting dressed in the morning, turning on the faucet in the bathtub, or getting into the bathtub to begin with, can be a challenge for those afflicted with arthritis.

If you are a sufferer of arthritis, an Ella’s walk-in bath can bring relief for arthritic pain.

SO WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF ARTHRITIS?

When we speak of arthritis in general, we understand the basic meaning, but to define arthritis is more complex. As a medical term, it has over 100 conditions associated with that definition. The word arthritis comes from the Greek arthron meaning “joint” and the Latin itis meaning “inflammation”. The plural of arthritis is arthritides. Arthritis affects the musculoskeletal system, specifically the joints. So what are the symptoms you ask?

ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS INCLUDE

According to WebMD, the symptoms can include: painful swelling, inflammation, and stiffness in the fingers, arms, legs, and wrists. Occurring in the same joints on both sides of the body, especially on awakening, may be signs of rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is a chronic disease that affects some 27 million Americans. OA is characterized by the breakdown of cartilage, which can cause stiffness and pain.

Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that often occurs with psoriasis of the skin.

ARTHRITIS BY THE NUMBERS

From 1-100, contrary to popular belief, arthritis does not only effect the elderly. Children can suffer from this disease as well.  The numbers overall are growing. Compare  the 1985- 2006 table below:

Arthritis Foundation

It is estimated that nearly 300,000 children in the United States are living with juvenile arthritis.  Juvenile arthritis (JA) refers to any form of arthritis or an arthritis-related condition that develops in children or teenagers who are less than 18 years of age.

Juvenile arthritis is one of the most common chronic childhood conditions, occurring nearly as often as insulin-dependent juvenile diabetes.  The most common form of arthritis in children is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), which has two peaks of onset: between 1 and 3 years of age and between 8 and 12 years of age.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS AND REMEDIES

Treatments available include physical therapy, splinting, cold-pack application, paraffin wax dips, anti-inflammatory medications, immune-altering medications, and surgical operations.  Arthritis patients are also seeking the benefits of a soaking bathtub.  See the Arthritis Foundation for tips here under Sit, soak and soothe

Ella’s Walk-In Bathtubs can provide a solution on several levels:

Our Deluxe dual massage tub is perfect for those with limited mobility or in need of safer bathing.  22 strategically positioned air and hydro therapy jets and an in-line water heater for a consistently warm water temperature help to provide relief and soothing comfort.  Our Deluxe Bath also offers textured slip resistant flooring, two safety grab bars, and two (2) inch drains for a fast 80 second draining.  The Elite Model offers the same features as the Deluxe but has been upgraded to include a unique detachable swivel tray and a wider back rest that combines with a more spacious seat, and a lower threshold for easier access.  The Royal  is nearly identical to the Elite Model, but has a two inch wider seat.

We are confident our baths will help sooth muscle and joint pain associated with arthritis.  If you would like to learn more about how an Ella’s walk-in bathtub could help you, please contact us at: www.ellasbubbles.com
