When upgrading your bathroom, many wonder, "Are stone resin baths heavy?" This is a common question because stone resin bathtubs have the solid, natural look of stone combined with modern composite materials. At BAULANE®, our freestanding stone baths are made from Baustone™, a stone resin material crafted from natural minerals and quality composite resins, offering a durable yet manageable weight.
What Are Stone Resin Baths Made Of?
Stone resin baths are made from a composite of natural minerals, like aluminium trihydrate (ATH), mixed with polymer resin. This solid surface stone resin provides strength and a smooth, non-porous, stain-resistant surface that is hypoallergenic and doesn’t have any coatings. Unlike heavy natural stone tubs, stone resin bathtubs are lighter while still delivering the classic look and durability of stone.
How Heavy Are Stone Resin Baths?
Stone resin baths are heavier than acrylic tubs because of their dense composite build, but much lighter than cast iron or solid stone tubs. This makes them an excellent choice for those wanting the feel of natural stone without the extra weight. Our BAULANE® freestanding stone baths use a single mould process that balances strength and weight, providing excellent heat retention and a warm, polished surface for a comfortable bathing experience.
Benefits of Stone Resin Baths Beyond Weight
Weight is just one benefit of stone resin baths. They are excellent at retaining heat, keeping your bath water warmer longer than materials like acrylic or copper. This means a more relaxing soak every time. Their smooth, natural white finish resists soap scum and discolouration, keeping the bath looking fresh.
Stone resin products, including our Baustone™ collection, are eco-friendly and built to last. The durable, non-porous surface resists stains and air bubbles, helping your bath stay pristine with simple care. To maintain your stone resin bath, clean it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the polished surface.
Ideal for Various Bathroom Styles and Spaces
Our freestanding stone baths complement many interior design styles, from modern to classic. Because they are durable yet lighter than traditional stone, they work well even in smaller bathrooms, adding a stylish focal point without overwhelming the space. The comfort and timeless elegance of a BAULANE® stone resin bath make it an excellent choice for those who want style and quality.

BAULANE® Plisse 1700 Freestanding Stone Bath
The BAULANE® Plisse 1700 is arguably one of our most fashionable designs, inspired by Plisse fabric often seen in high-end fashion couture.

With equal substance to match its inimitable style, the BAULANE® Plisse 1700 has been designed with maximum user comfort in mind.

Less water wasted, more comfort. Redefined luxury bathing.
