This is an important first step to ensure that you will have adequate space to install the style of bath you prefer.
There is an extensive range of shapes available, including circular styles for large bathrooms, rounded rectangles, ovals, and organic styles with flowing curves.
The more popular shapes also come in multiple sizes so you can find the style you want to fit your space.
Stone Bath Weight
Another factor to consider is the weight of the bath.
Stone baths are naturally heavier than lighter acrylic models, so you need to make sure that your bathroom floor can support the weight of your chosen bath.
For apartments or upstairs bathrooms, a stone bath might not be suitable.
Stone baths will require mechanical lifting aid during delivery and to help manoeuvre the bath into the room for installation.
Weights can vary depending on the size and style of the bath, so it is worth checking the specifications before you make a purchase.
