Bathtubs

About

Finding The Perfect Bath Baths are bathroom fixtures designed for full-body bathing, available in several installation types to suit different layouts. The main categories are freestanding baths, back to wall baths, corner baths and inset baths, with spa baths offering water or air jets within any of these formats. The right type depends on your available floor space, your plumbing layout, and whether the bath needs to be a standalone feature or fit within an existing recess. This collection includes baths from Caroma , Bao Bath , Decina , Fienza and Turner Hastings . What bath types are there? Freestanding baths stand independent of any wall, with a finished exterior on all sides. They require floor-mounted or wall-mounted tapware rather than tapware fixed to the bath itself, and they need clearance on all sides, typically at least 100mm, for cleaning and visual balance. Freestanding baths suit larger bathrooms where the bath is intended as a feature rather than a space-saving solution. Back to wall baths have a finished front and sides but sit flush against a wall on one edge. This gives the appearance of a freestanding bath from the front while keeping the plumbing and rear edge concealed. Back to wall baths suit bathrooms that want a freestanding look without the full floor space a true freestanding bath needs. Corner baths are shaped to fit into a right-angled corner, making use of space that would otherwise go unused. Internal capacity is often larger than the footprint suggests, and some models include a built-in seat or ledge. Corner baths suit bathrooms with an awkward or underused corner. Inset baths also known as built-in or alcove baths , install against one, two or three walls and are enclosed by a tiled hob or frame. This is the most common configuration in Australian bathrooms, generally the most straightforward to install, and the surrounding ledge provides a practical spot for bathroom essentials.
