A considered choice begins with three simple questions.
01
Where will it live?
Freestanding, along a wall or in a corner? Your layout sets the starting point. For a replacement, check the existing footprint and plumbing first.
02
How do you like to bathe?
Think about your reclining position, legroom and how easily you can step in and out. Comfort is about how the bath fits you.
03
What does your room allow?
Check delivery access, drainage, hot-water supply and the combined weight of the bath, water and bather.
02 / FIND YOUR FORM
Seven shapes. Room for your preference.
Start with the outline that suits your room and the way you recline. Some features overlap—a freestanding bath can also have a slipper profile.
01
Freestanding
A sculptural focal point.
Finished on all sides, a freestanding bath gives its silhouette room to be seen.
A Good Fit If
You want the bath to stand as a distinct element in the room.
Before You Choose
Allow for access, cleaning, tap placement and the floor drain connection.
02
Back-to-Wall
A considered fit along the wall.
A purpose-designed back sits against the wall while the visible sides retain a complete, freestanding-like form.
A Good Fit If
You prefer a clean outline within a wall-side layout.
Before You Choose
Check the wall surface, sealing requirements and tap position. Not every freestanding tub supports this installation.
03
Corner
Make the corner your own.
Designed for a corner position, this shape helps the bathing area fit naturally into your room.
A Good Fit If
Your planned bathing area meets two walls.
Before You Choose
Check both wall dimensions, orientation and entry space. A corner bath is not necessarily smaller.
04
Left Skirted
The right finish for a left-side layout.
A left-skirted configuration provides an exterior finish arranged for a particular room layout.
A Good Fit If
Your exposed sides and adjoining walls match this configuration.
Before You Choose
Use the product orientation drawing to establish left and right. Verify the drain position separately.
05
Right Skirted
An alternative orientation.
A right-skirted configuration offers a different finish arrangement to suit the placement of your bath.
A Good Fit If
Your bathroom requires the corresponding right-skirted arrangement.
Before You Choose
Match the product drawing to your room. Skirt orientation does not automatically determine drain orientation.
06
Single Slipper
One raised end. A natural retreat.
One end rises to create a defined reclining position and an expressive, asymmetrical profile.
A Good Fit If
You like to recline in a consistent direction.
Before You Choose
Check backrest angle, legroom and which way the raised end faces in your room.
07
Double Slipper
Balanced from end to end.
Both ends rise to form a symmetrical silhouette, with a choice of reclining direction.
A Good Fit If
You prefer a balanced outline and the freedom to lean at either end.
Before You Choose
Two raised ends do not guarantee space for two bathers. Check the internal dimensions and stated capacity.
03 / THE MATERIAL EDIT
Look closer. Feel the difference.
Appearance is only the beginning. Consider the feel, weight and care of the material you will live with every day.
01 / 05
Acrylic
Lightness, with everyday versatility.
Acrylic typically offers a relatively light body and a smooth surface, with flexibility in shape and silhouette.
Why consider it
A practical starting point when handling, shape and daily use matter.
What to check
Check reinforcement, base support and installation requirements for the exact model.
Everyday care
Use approved cleaners and soft tools. Ask the manufacturer before treating scratches.
02 / 05
Resin
Expressive form. Distinctive surfaces.
Resin baths vary by formulation, construction and finish. Compare the actual colour, sheen and feel of the product or a material sample.
Why consider it
A choice for those drawn to expressive shapes and surface effects.
What to check
Confirm composition, weight and any surface coating. Resin does not automatically mean translucent, stone-like or polishable.
Everyday care
Follow the product-specific care guide rather than instructions for another resin or stone product.
03 / 05
Marble
A character all its own.
Marble brings veining and tonal variation to the bathing space. Natural marble has individual markings that may differ from one piece to another.
Why consider it
A distinctive stone appearance and a substantial visual presence.
What to check
Confirm whether the material is natural or cultured marble, review the actual finish, and check handling and floor requirements.
Everyday care
For natural marble, avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners and follow sealing guidance. Other compositions need their own care instructions.
04 / 05
Carbon Fibre
A different expression of lightness.
Carbon-fiber baths typically combine carbon fibres with resin. The composite can offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and a distinctive modern appearance.
Why consider it
An individual material expression and the possibility of a relatively light structure.
What to check
Check actual weight, finish, installation requirements and specialist repair support. Construction determines performance.
Everyday care
Follow the surface coating's care instructions. Consult the manufacturer about damage rather than attempting an unapproved repair.
05 / 05
Solid Surface
Quiet colour. Sculptural form.
Solid Surface commonly combines mineral fillers with resins or other binders to create an even, stone-like appearance. Formulations and finishes vary.
Why consider it
A cohesive silhouette, considered colour and a refined surface.
What to check
Confirm composition, weight and whether the surface is coated. Not every product can be sanded or refinished in the same way.
Everyday care
Use the recommended cleaning products. Confirm the approved treatment for stains and scratches before attempting a repair.
Material names can overlap. Always use the specific model's composition, finish and care instructions as your reference.
THE FINISHING DETAILS
Consider the whole installation.
The right fittings and a little forward planning make the difference.
01
Taps
Choose floor-, wall- or rim-mounted fittings to suit the model. Check spout reach, height and where the water will land. Confirm that the rim supports your intended installation.
02
Waste & overflow
Confirm which fittings are included, what needs to be purchased separately, and compatibility with the bath and your plumbing.
03
Hot-water supply
Compare the bath's water requirements with your hot-water system so filling it fits comfortably into your routine.
04
Support & access
Plan access to connections and future servicing. Assess the combined weight of the bath, water and bather, and follow the model's installation instructions.

A FEW MORE ANSWERS
Good questions. Considered answers.
Does a freestanding bath need a large bathroom?
Not necessarily. The model, position and room for entry and cleaning matter more than the label. Measure the bath and the space around it together.
Should I choose back-to-wall or corner?
Start with the position and adjoining walls. A back-to-wall model suits a single-wall layout; a corner model may suit a two-wall position. Confirm the exact installation drawing.
How do I identify a Left Skirted or Right Skirted model?
Follow the product orientation diagram and its viewing direction. Match the drawing to your room and verify the drain location separately. Ask your installer if the orientation is unclear.
Which is more comfortable: single or double slipper?
Comfort depends on your height, reclining angle and internal space. A single slipper offers a defined direction; a double slipper offers either end. The shape name alone cannot tell you which fits you best.
Can two people use a double-slipper bath?
Not automatically. Double slipper describes two raised ends. Check the model's internal dimensions, capacity and stated number of bathers.
Which material is easiest to care for?
Compare the actual finish and care guide. Ask which cleaners are suitable, whether sealing is required, and how the surface can be repaired.
Is a bigger bath always better?
A larger exterior does not guarantee a better fit. Natural back support, comfortable legroom, easy entry and an appropriate room layout are more useful measures.
YOUR SPACE. YOUR PACE.
The right bath feels like it belongs.
Begin with the room. Find your form. Choose the material you want to live with.
