Not sure which freestanding bathtub to choose? Look at five keys: size, material, shape, freestanding or semi-freestanding, and installation space. The perfect tub fits your bathroom, matches your style and offers maximum comfort.
1. Size
The most common freestanding bathtubs are 150 or 170 cm. The 170×80 cm is the most popular; the 150 cm fits better in small bathrooms. See our size guide and measure your space before deciding.
2. Material
Sanitary acrylic is the most recommended material: warm to the touch, durable and better at retaining water temperature. All METROPOLE freestanding bathtubs are made of high-quality white acrylic.
3. Shape
Oval tubs bring soft, elegant lines that become the centrepiece of the bathroom. Choose a shape that matches your space, from the most classic to the most contemporary.
4. Freestanding or semi-freestanding
A freestanding bathtub is independent and visible on all four sides; the semi-freestanding has one flat side to rest against the wall, ideal if you have less space.
5. Installation and space
Leave at least 10 to 15 cm free around the tub and make sure you have access to the water supply and drain in the chosen position. For a perfect finish, we recommend professional installation.
