Freestanding tubs come in a variety of styles. This makes it easy to find a unique tub design for your space. The most popular designs include:

• Single Ended: This style features the faucet and drain at one end of the tub. This end is usually flat, while the other end is sloped to accommodate a single bather.
• Single Slipper: Single slipper baths are raised and sloped at one end and flat on the other (where the drain is located). This gives them the appearance of a woman’s slipper.
• Double Ended: In a double-ended bath, the drain and faucet are in the center of the tub, so both ends can be sloped. Large tubs in this style can accommodate two bathers.
• Double Slipper: A double slipper features two raised, sloped ends, giving the tub the appearance of a crescent moon. The faucet and drain are in the middle.
• Clawfoot: These tubs rest on legs that raise the tub off the floor. They are stylish and easy to maintain, but they are more physically demanding to enter and exit.
• Pedestal/Skirted: Pedestal tubs sit on a platform that raises them off the floor. They are an alternative to clawfoot tubs.
• Japanese Soaking: Also called Ofuros, these tubs are tall and barrel-shaped. They’re used for relaxation or post-shower soaks.

Badeloft tubs are available in many of the above popular styles as well as exclusive designs for those who want a truly unique bathroom.

Freestanding bathtubs come in a variety of materials; from acrylic, marble, cast iron, copper, marble, fiberglass, solid surface and finally stone resin. Acrylic is the most popular freestanding bathtub material but they do flex and are prone to scratching. Comparatively, stone resin offers a lighter weight option compared to other materials on the market while also maintaining a sleek and natural look that is easy to clean and maintain.

Your tub material determines the look of your tub and how it feels against your skin. It will also impact insulation, durability, and maintenance. Some popular tub materials include:

• Acrylic: The most popular tub material, but can bend over time and is prone to scratching.
• Porcelain: A classic look and easy to maintain, but slippery and a poor insulator.
• Marble: Durable and beautiful but costly and very heavy.
• Cast iron: Very durable but very heavy and can rust if the enamel cracks.
• Copper: Antibacterial and strong but very expensive. Bronze and brass are cheaper alternatives.
• Fiberglass: Lightweight and affordable. But it’s the least durable material.
• Solid surface: This synthetic material is smooth to the touch and durable but expensive and heavy.
• Stone resin: Natural stone made stronger. Stone resin is durable, beautiful, easy to clean, and an excellent insulator. It’s well-priced but somewhat heavy.
