If you are a bath enthusiast, you will be delighted to explore our selection of built-in baths at accessible prices. Here is a list of advantages that the installation of a bath offers, along with our advice on how to choose the right one.
Why install a built-in bath in your bathroom?
The answer is simple: a built-in bath is installed to enjoy a relaxing soak! It allows you to create a true sanctuary of relaxation. Elegant and modern, it integrates harmoniously thanks to its basin concealed by the cladding of your choice. This enables you to incorporate it seamlessly into your bathroom furniture. As a result, you can not only personalise your space, but also create an environment that exudes luxury and tranquillity.
Dimensions and shapes: corner, rectangular or asymmetric
Built-in baths are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit all configurations. A rectangular corner bath is ideal for optimising space. An oval shape creates a soft, inviting atmosphere. For unconventional bathrooms, asymmetric models are available:
- The standard size for a rectangular built-in bath: 160 to 180 cm in length, 70 to 80 cm in width.
- For smaller spaces: 150 × 70 cm.
- For maximum comfort, even for two: 190 x 90 cm.
Cast iron or acrylic: which material should you choose for your built-in bath?
Another key characteristic to consider is the material of the basin:
- Enamelled cast iron: robust and highly insulating, though heavy.
- Acrylic: lightweight and affordable. Less resistant, but reinforced with fibreglass for greater durability.
How to install a built-in bath?
Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Here are a few key steps:
- Prepare a well-levelled floor (self-levelling compound).
- Allow for an access panel for the plumbing.
- Use reinforced flexible hoses and an extra-flat waste trap.
- Apply a waterproof membrane to ensure a watertight seal.
- Test the drainage before fitting the surround.
Should the installation instructions seem overly complex, do not hesitate to call upon a professional to carry out the fitting.
