Baths
 For
many years a bath has been one of the constant elements to
any bathroom - whether it's for everyday bathing, bath night
with the children or a way to relax at the end of the week,
we have probably spent some considerable time using one. But
did you know that there's more to a bath than you thought?
There are many different shapes and sizes, from the usual
rectangular to space-saving
corner or attention-grabbing
freestanding designs,
and a range of materials to choose from, such as acrylic,
steel or cast iron. All of these can be found in traditional,
art deco, modern or classic styles which can complement and
enhance your bathroom design.
You may like to move away from a bath, which has the two
holes for your taps already drilled, to a bath without tapholes.
This allows you to choose the location of your taps - perhaps
you'd like a wall-mounted version - although drilling extra
holes in a standard bath is not too tricky if you have a steady
hand.
Increasingly people are seeking to recreate that luxury hotel/spa experience at home by opting for a whirlpool or spa bath.
Although it may be tempting to go for the biggest bath possible,
you should take into consideration that if you have a particularly
large bath, it may use all the hot water from your tank and
unless you have taps with a high flow rate, you may be waiting
a while for the bath to fill.
Bath sections

Rectangular baths are usually built-in with a front bath
panel along the long edge and an end panel for the foot
of the bath. Click rectangular
baths for more information. |
 |
Freestanding baths, as their name
suggests, are not built in but stand independently in
the room. Click Freestanding
baths for more information. |
 |
An offset corner bath fits to the
corner but tapers towards a narrower end to form a triangular
shape. Click corner baths
for more information. |

Bath panels are generally made from
acrylic or wood and are fixed to a simple framework beneath
the edge of the bath using screws or magnetic catches.
