Baths in natural materials

Do you dream of wood, stone, glass or concrete? Never mind, manufacturers also offer this type of bathtub! Wood is a natural thermal insulator which will give you great comfort of use, provided that you choose a rot-resistant wood of course. The charm of a wooden bathtub is incomparable and will bring conviviality to your room, whether it is a built-in model or not.

Stone bathtub

The stone will seduce you with its unique aesthetic, but care must be taken regarding its weight! With its 500 kilos, it is better to benefit from a solid floor, whether it is a natural stone, granite or marble bathtub. For its part, the glass could not be more modern, but nevertheless presents several constraints, both in terms of cleaning and its slippery surface. Copper will give your room a retro atmosphere and is both resistant and pleasant to use, especially since it is 100% recyclable and antibacterial. Its price, just like that of concrete bathtubs (which allows the creation of tailor-made bathtubs) could however represent a brake.

Metal bathtubs

The traditional enamelled cast iron is timeless: impact resistant, easy to maintain, inexpensive and 100% recyclable; it has all the assets to please! However, it tends to become rarer due to its weight, which can reach 100 kilos. Enamelled steel has the same characteristics except that it does not retain heat well. However, it turns out to be less expensive. An apron can be added to give it more charm. The space-saving model par excellence, the hip bath was originally made of metal before turning to acrylic, wood and cast iron.

Installing a bathtub requires the intervention of a professional, especially if you opt for a bath-shower that combines the two functions. The latter will ensure the watertightness of the installation while ensuring the proper functioning of the bung and siphon.

Freestanding bathtub, corner bathtub or whirlpool bathtub (balneotherapy or hydromassage), it is important to choose the material of your bathtub according to your needs. Some materials retain heat very well, like resins, while others allow greater customization (concrete in particular). To further enhance your bath and your bathroom, opt for a designer or vintage mixer tap: nothing beats a pretty tap to top your acrylic bathtub or any other material. Finally, make sure that the overflow and the emptying and drainage system are in good working order to enjoy your bath with confidence!
