WHY YOU SHOULD GET A

FREESTANDING STONE TUB FOR YOUR LUXURY BATH

Whether you’re setting up a getaway cottage, a luxury resort or your very own vacation home, the bathroom should reflect the meticulous care and long-term use you plan to get out of your space. Just as any designer would tell you, each room needs a

focal piece that will be the center of that room and at the same time anchor the whole design aesthetic.

For your bathroom, there’s nothing bigger than your tub. If you plan to make your bath a luxury space, then you should always start with the bathtub. Nothing gives more understated luxury and great taste than a freestanding stone tub. Take note that we

recommend a stone bathtub instead of the easier, lighter materials like acrylic.

Acrylic tubs are generally cheaper and easier to clean but when

you’re making a luxury bathroom, it does not quite fit the bill.

Take a look at our reasons why you should get a freestanding

stone tub for your luxury bath:

Before we even get to the style compliments, a freestanding stone

tub can handle any temperature change in your water. When

you’re mixing cold and hot water manually for your luxury retreat

in the mountains, it’s important that your tub can stand

temperature changes and the outside humidity and temperature as

well. Acrylic tubs won’t crack at once but they will eventually.

What’s more, freestanding stone tubs are heavier so they can

handle bigger people.

MOST DURABLE

If you want something that feels like you’re bathing in a warm

lake or river right in the comfort of your own home, nothing is

better than a freestanding stone tub. Unlike the smooth, artificial

feel of acrylic or other material, stone has a smooth but organic-

feeling surface without the roughness of nature.

THE SURFACE FEELS LIKE YOU’RE BATHING IN NATURE

Usually, stone tubs are hewn from materials like Italian marble,

travertine and granite. They are indeed a luxury if they’re made

from expensive materials.

MADE FROM EXPENSIVE

MATERIAL

Not only does a freestanding stone bathtub make a bold

statement for your bathroom, it can dictate everything on your

bath. The dark, natural mosaic of the colors allows you to create

classier styles. Try putting the turn on top of a bed of stones that

mimic its color to give you that classy bath look.

STYLE STATEMENT LIKE NO

OTHER

WHEN YOU’RE DECIDING BEYOND THE

MATERIAL OF YOUR FREESTANDING TUB, MAKE

SURE YOU CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING TOO:

Most freestanding stone tubs are made to order if they aren’t one

a piece. Determine if you’re going to make the bathtub a single-

person use tub or for two people. If you want a longer soak,

consider making the tub extra-long and extra deep as well.

HOW LARGE AND DEEP SHOULD

YOUR TUB BE?

A slipper tub is something that’s higher on one end and lower on

another. If you plan to use the tub for couples, you might want to

use a double slipper tub. This kind of tub lets the number of

bathers rest comfortable in it for long soaks, allowing them to sit

up in the bath while still being submerged in the warm water.

SHOULD YOU HAVE A SLIPPER

TUB?

The Japanese are renowned for their bathing experience as

sometimes ritualistic and therapeutic. A Japanese-style freestanding

stone tub allows the user to completely submerge him in water. You

might want to consider this style of bath of you like the feeling of

floating or the pressure of water all over your body, including your

head.
