  durable and resistant to scratches and other
  damage.

• The durability can be a combination of multiple
  factors that are the ability to sustain crack,
  strain, and scratch. The first is resistant to
  breakage. The porcelain with steel inner is not
  completely resistant to breakage, while if it has
  cast iron, then it will not break. However,
  these are both types of stain resistance. In
  comparison acrylic double ended bath is not
  completely resistant to breakage and scratches.
  Therefore, you will need little care using it.
  The modern acrylic, however, does have much
  better quality and is perfect for standard use
  for the long term. Another option is fiberglass
  and cultured Marble, which is also not resistant
  to breakage, but Marble gets no stains
  whatsoever.
• Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance
• If you are concerned about ease of cleaning and
  maintenance, then porcelain, acrylic
  double-ended bath, and fiberglass are all easy to
  deal with. However, you may struggle to keep
  clean a cultured bath as it may be a bit of hard
  work cleaning them.
• Ease of Installation
• It is another factor that you should be looking
  for while considering a bath material. Porcelain
  steel and cultured marble bath are relatively
  difficult to install. All other porcelain cast
  iron, acrylic double ended baths, and fiberglass
  baths are easy to install. You should be
  concerned about installation as complexity in
  installation may add up to the costs of fitting a
  bathtub.
• Heat Retention
• When choosing a double ended bath, one of the
  things that can enhance your bath experience is
  the ability of the bath to keep the water for a
  long time. Therefore, you may be better off
  picking the one that has a better ability to
  retain heat. Porcelain steel has poor heat
  retention, while cast iron baths, in comparison,
  can perfectly retain the heat. Acrylic is good
  at keeping the water warm, and so is Marble.
  Fiberglass baths are pretty poor at it.
• Bathtub Material Weight
• It is also an important consideration as you may
  not want a bath that is difficult to move. The
  weight of a double ended bath depends on the
  material you choose. For example, a porcelain
  steel bath can weigh around 100 to 225 kg. While
  cast iron bath can weigh anywhere from 30kgs to
  90 kg, acrylic bath are the lightest and can
  weigh 35 to 50 kg, fiberglass also weighs around
  36 kg, and finally, marble baths have around 115
  kg to 225 kgs weight.
