Discover Free Standing Baths with Shower

Transforming your bathroom into a personal sanctuary of comfort and style is a dream for many. The right bath can elevate a simple washroom into a luxurious retreat. At BAULANE®, we understand this desire, and while our specialty lies in exquisite freestanding stone baths, we also appreciate the broader landscape of luxury bathing and how various options can enhance your space.

Buy Freestanding Bath

Choosing the Right Material

The material of your freestanding bath significantly impacts its look, feel, and performance. While options like cast iron and acrylic are common, at BAULANE®, we pride ourselves on our signature Baustone™. This advanced stone resin material, crafted from natural minerals including aluminium trihydrate (ATH) and high-quality composite materials, offers distinct advantages. Unlike traditional materials, Baustone™ results in a premium, coating-free, hypoallergenic, and stain-resistant stone resin bath. It also contains the minimal amount of acrylic polymers possible and features high-purity polyester for unrivalled durability.

This attention to material means our baths are not only resistant to wear but also maintain temperature beautifully, offering a smooth, non-porous surface that feels cool to the eye and warm to the touch. This makes a significant difference in the overall look and feel of your bathroom, making Baustone™ an exceptional choice for those considering factors like maintenance, durability, and style.

Shower Bath Options

For those with smaller bathrooms, shower baths are an excellent solution, seamlessly combining the functionality of a shower and a bath in one unit. While BAULANE® specializes in standalone freestanding baths, we understand the need for versatility. Popular choices like P-shaped and L-shaped shower baths offer spacious shower areas alongside a comfortable bathing experience. Freestanding shower baths also exist as a modern alternative. When choosing any bathing solution, it's crucial to consider your bathroom space, preferred shower area, and bathing style.

Roll Top Bath Designs

Roll top baths are a classic choice, embodying timeless elegance, particularly in traditional bathrooms. They are available in various materials, including our own Baustone™ if a modern take on this classic is desired, and can be beautifully paired with a variety of bath taps and fixtures. Slipper baths, a type of roll top, feature a raised end for enhanced comfort, while double-ended baths offer a symmetrical design and a spacious bathing area for two. When choosing a roll top bath, consider the style, material, and size to ensure a perfect fit for your bathroom's aesthetic.

Back to Wall Installation

Back to wall installation is a popular choice for freestanding baths, providing a sleek and modern look while saving space. This method positions the bath against a wall, creating a clean and minimalist appearance. Many of our Baustone™ freestanding baths are designed with versatility in mind, allowing for various installation approaches. When considering a back-to-wall installation, proper plumbing, waste management, and the addition of bath screens are crucial for a smooth and successful outcome, ensuring both aesthetics and functionality.

Baulane Designs and Luxury Finishes

BAULANE® focus on unique aesthetic and luxury finishes inherent in our Baustone™ material. Our stone resin baths, meticulously precision-moulded and hand-finished by skilled artisans, achieve a flawless, tactile surface and seamless edges. The natural elegance of Baustone™ offers a sophisticated, enduring finish that transcends trends. This inherent luxury eliminates the need for additional coatings, ensuring a premium, lasting appearance. Choosing a BAULANE® bath means investing in a piece of art that’s pleasing to the eye and designed to enhance your self-care ritual. For more on this, see our post on finishes of stone resin baths.

Roll Top Baths and Maintenance

Regardless of the bath style, including roll top baths, proper maintenance is key to longevity. Our Baustone™ baths are inherently low maintenance. Thanks to the durability and non-porous nature of our material, they are stain-resistant and easy to clean. Regular wiping with a soft cloth and mild cleaner is typically sufficient to keep them looking pristine, ensuring your BAULANE® bath remains a beautiful focal point for years to come.

Freestanding Bath Safety

Safety is paramount. While freestanding baths offer elegance, proper installation and consideration of safety features are essential. Non-slip surfaces, the potential for grab bars, and secure installation are crucial. The stability and robust nature of our Baustone™ baths contribute to a secure fixture when properly installed. Always follow manufacturer instructions and prioritize safety precautions during installation to ensure a secure and enjoyable bathing experience. You can also read about whether stone resin baths are non-slip.

Bathroom Layout and Design

The overall bathroom layout and design are crucial in creating a functional and relaxing space. The placement of your freestanding bath and shower area should be carefully considered to ensure a harmonious flow. A BAULANE® freestanding stone bath, with its sculptural form, is designed to be a statement piece that enhances the entire room. Think about the style and aesthetic you want to achieve; our baths are crafted to be not just a fixture, but a centerpiece that elevates your daily life.

Benefits of Luxury Bathing

Luxury bathing experiences offer profound benefits, including relaxation, stress relief, and improved overall well-being. A BAULANE® freestanding stone bath provides an indulgent experience designed for those who view bathing as a sacred act of self-care. Every bath is an invitation to sink in, relax, and let go. Choosing a BAULANE® bath is an investment in comfort, style, and functionality, ultimately increasing the value and allure of your home. It's not just a product; it's a lifestyle.

Installation and Plumbing

Proper installation and plumbing are critical for any bath. For BAULANE® freestanding stone baths, considering waste outlets and ensuring professional plumbing is essential for a safe and functional bathing experience. Our durable Baustone™ material is engineered for longevity, and with correct installation, you can enjoy your BAULANE® bath with confidence, creating a beautiful and functional bathroom space that stands the test of time.
