Discover the Best Square Freestanding Bath

Are you dreaming of transforming your bathroom into a personal haven of luxury and relaxation? A freestanding bath is the ultimate statement piece, instantly elevating your space and offering an indulgent bathing experience that goes beyond the everyday routine. At BAULANE®, we specialize in creating these exquisite focal points, with a particular emphasis on stunning stone resin designs that blend purposeful form with unparalleled comfort.

Baulane Freestanding Baths

Freestanding baths, including modern square freestanding baths and classic double-ended baths, are designed to enhance any room with their quality design and fine details. They are a superior choice for a bathroom upgrade, offering a luxurious way to relax and creating a captivating focal point. These elegant, freestanding bathtubs come in a diverse range of styles, from sleek contemporary designs to timeless classics, ensuring there's a perfect match for every personal preference and unique bathing experience you envision.

While traditionally found in various materials, such as acrylic, at BAULANE®, we champion the sophistication and durability of our signature Baustone™. Our stone resin baths can be positioned creatively to craft a stylish, designer feel, instantly upgrading any bathroom with their clean lines and luxurious appeal.

Types of Baths

The world of freestanding baths offers a diverse range of shapes and configurations. Square baths stand out with their unique and luxurious bathing experience. Their straight edges and clean lines make them a striking focal point, perfect for a modern minimalist aesthetic.

Double-ended baths remain a popular choice, offering a spacious and comfortable bathing experience that allows you to recline at either end. While available in various materials, our Baustone double-ended baths provide superior comfort and heat retention. Whether you prefer a single-ended or double-ended design, or a modern or contemporary style, there's a freestanding bath to suit your specific bathroom design and preferences.

Beyond fully freestanding options, wall baths and back-to-wall baths offer a sleek and stylish way to enhance the bathroom space, fitting snugly against a wall for a neat finish. These can be beautifully paired with complementary taps and waste, such as a modern click-clack waste, for a complete, polished look.

Materials and Construction of Square Baths

The material of your freestanding bath has a significant impact on its aesthetics, durability, and user experience. While acrylic baths are popular for their affordability and style variety, they often lack the substantial feel and superior heat retention of premium materials.

For true luxury and enduring quality, stone baths (like our Baustone™) are an unparalleled choice. Made from natural minerals, including aluminium trihydrate (ATH), and high-quality composite materials, our Baustone is a premium, coating-free, hypoallergenic, and stain-resistant product. This robust material allows for scratches to be polished out, ensuring your bath maintains its pristine appearance for years. Unlike conventional materials, our stone resin baths contain the minimal amount of acrylic polymers possible and feature high-purity polyester for unrivaled durability. To learn more about the material composition, read our post on what are stone resin baths made of?

While cast iron baths offer a classic look and retain heat well, often coming in multiple finishes, Baustone™ combines the best of both worlds: the solid, luxurious feel of stone with excellent temperature retention and easy maintenance.

Positioning and Installation Options

The placement of your freestanding bath is crucial to maximizing its impact and functionality. Depending on the size and layout of your bathroom, a freestanding bath offers flexible positioning options. You can create a bold, luxurious centerpiece by placing it centrally on a central feature wall, or you can opt to save floor space by fitting it neatly at an angle in a corner – a great choice even for smaller bathrooms.

Installation options for freestanding baths typically include pairing them with floor-mounted or wall-mounted taps. At BAULANE®, our stone baths are designed to accommodate a range of tap styles. Consider elegant chrome overflow and nickel finishes to complement your chosen taps. Don't forget the practical elements, such as waste; a click-clack waste offers a sleek and modern solution. When planning installation, always consider the bath's shape and size, as well as the precise location for tap holes and waste to ensure a seamless and luxurious bathing experience.

Choosing the Right Taps and Accessories

The right taps and accessories are key to achieving complete bathroom harmony. For freestanding baths, freestanding taps offer a striking, designer look, available in a range of styles from sleek contemporary to traditional designs. These provide a dramatic visual impact, complementing the elegance of your bath.

Alternatively, wall-mounted or deck-mounted taps require precise installation, either by drilling into walls or directly onto the bath's edge (if suitable). Finishes like modern chrome or classic nickel can significantly enhance the overall aesthetic. Don't forget essential accessories like a stylish click-clack waste and potentially discreet grips or covers, all available in various styles and finishes to suit your personal preference and bathroom design.

Budget and Pricing Considerations

The budget for a freestanding bath can vary significantly, depending on the material, size, and style. While acrylic baths might be more affordable, they often compromise on the truly luxurious and high-quality bathing experience that a stone bath can provide. To get an idea of costs, see our post on the average cost of a Baulane bathtub.

At BAULANE®, our range of freestanding stone baths represents an investment in premium quality and enduring design. While our baths are a luxury product, we believe they offer exceptional value, delivering unmatched durability, superior heat retention, and a hypoallergenic, stain-resistant surface.

Always consider delivery costs and installation fees when creating your budget. Our customer service team is always available to provide guidance and support, helping you navigate the options to find the perfect BAULANE® stone bath that aligns with your desired level of luxury and budget. Choosing BAULANE® is a conscious decision to "Buy Better," investing in an ethical and exceptional product that enhances your home and contributes to a greater cause.
