Why install a built-in bathtub in your bathroom?

The answer is simple: install a built-in bathtub to take baths! It allows you to create a real relaxation area. Elegant and modern, it fits harmoniously thanks to its bowl hidden by the coating of your choice. This allows you to integrate it with your bathroom furniture. This way, you can not only personalize your room, but also create a space that exudes luxury and relaxation.

Dimensions and shapes: angled, rectangular or asymmetrical

Drop-in bathtubs come in many shapes and sizes to suit any configuration. A rectangular corner bathtub is ideal for optimizing space. An oval shape creates a soft ambience. For atypical bathrooms, there are asymmetrical models:

• The standard size for a rectangular built-in bathtub: 160 to 180 cm long, 70 to 80 cm wide.
• For small spaces: 150 × 70 cm.
• For maximum comfort, even for two: 190 x 90 cm.

Cast iron or acrylic: which material to choose for your built-in bathtub?

One of the other characteristics to consider is the material of the tank:

• Enamelled cast iron**: solid, very insulating but heavy.
• Acrylic: lightweight and affordable. Less durable, but reinforced with fiberglass for durability.

How to install a built-in bathtub?

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Here are some key steps:

• Prepare a well-levelled floor (skimming).
• Provide an access hatch for plumbing.
• Use reinforced hoses and a low-profile trap.
• Apply a waterproof membrane to ensure waterproofing.
• Test the flow before formwork.

And if the installation instructions seem a little too complicated, don't hesitate to call on a professional to carry out the assembly.
