Baths to bathe the stress away!

Nothing screams home spa more than a luxury freestanding bath. In order to achieve maximum effect, be sure to go for the biggest one you can fit in your bathroom and install it alongside a centre wall or in the middle of the room. If you’re limited on space, finish your bathroom with a corner whirlpool option for unbeatable spa relaxation. Always ensure that the bath is going to be big enough for you to be comfortable in – don’t be afraid to jump in whilst visiting your local showroom!

Be aware that freestanding baths and large corner options tend to be very heavy when compared to standard designs, especially when full of water. Make sure your floor is strong enough to support the extra weight before installing, and take further care when looking at cast-iron or solid stone designs.

According to the Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialists Association, the most popular material used with modern freestanding baths is acrylic. From a production aspect, acrylic is very easy to mould with most designs being created from a single sheet. Acrylic baths can then be reinforced for rigidity and strength once the desired shape is achieved. The most appealing factor is that acrylic is warm to the touch, whilst having the ability to retain water temperature for longer than most materials.
