Large bathtubs – purchase and use
Large corner bathtubs or freestanding bathtubs in large sizes are also suitable as bathtubs for two people, as they allow two people to sit comfortably. What should you look out for when buying and using a bathtub?
- Whether side by side or opposite each other, the interior shape of the tub should be designed so that 1-2 people can sit comfortably inside.
- For reasons of comfort, the faucets and water drain should be placed in the center.
- Ergonomic backrests ensure greater comfort.
- A large bathtub equipped with two backrests offers comfortable seating for two.
Create a feel-good atmosphere with large bathtubs
First, it is important to measure the available space in your bathroom so that this floor space can be used optimally and adapted to your individual needs. Then consider the desired position and adapt the selection of the outer shape of the large bathtub to the available space. However, the outer shape does not say much about how spacious the interior of the tub is. Whether round or angular, freestanding or wall-mounted: Duravit offers large bathtubs in numerous designs and for every taste.
Large corner bathtubs
Generally speaking, large corner bathtubs include all large bathtubs that, due to their shape or built-in tub surround, can only be placed in a corner. However, models with a classic triangular design or the typical trapezoidal shape also fit perfectly into a bathroom corner and are excellent choices as large corner bathtubs for two people. Such a corner tub is particularly suitable as a large Bathtub in spacious bathrooms. It is often equipped with a practical shelf where bath accessories can be placed.
Large freestanding bathtubs
Large freestanding bathtubs look stunning in spacious bathrooms. If the idea of a completely freestanding bathtub doesn’t suit your preferences, you can position the bathtub against a wall on one side, leaving it open on the other three sides. Models installed this way are called pre-wall bathtubs. Alternatively, you have the option of having a half-height wall built to position the tub against. This can also offer numerous design possibilities and an efficient use of space. However, this requires that the water connections be rerouted to that location.
Large rectangular bathtubs
Rectangular bathtubs have proven themselves to be timeless classics among both large and small bathtubs. Like corner bathtubs, they can be installed against two walls if desired. The traditional large-format bathtub offers plenty of space for your morning or evening routine as well as for relaxing wellness moments. It captivates with its clean, geometric design, which allows you to add exciting accents with unique faucets if desired.
Round and oval bathtubs
Duravit’s oval or round bathtubs captivate not only with their stylish design—thanks to their gentle curves—but also with their comfortable interior shape. As freestanding models, these large bathtubs are a real visual highlight. The circular bathtub from the White Tulip series, created by Philippe Starck, as well as the square tub with rounded corners from the Zencha series by Sebastian Herkner, are particularly eye-catching. Their design is inspired by a blooming tulip and offers maximum comfort inside.
How many liters fit in a bathtub?
The average capacity of a classic bathtub for a full bath with standard dimensions of 180 x 80 cm is between 150 and 180 liters of water. Large bathtubs can even have a usable volume of 200 to 300 liters. How much water actually fits into a bathtub depends on three main factors:
Size
The longer and wider the floor space and the higher the bathtub rim, the greater the possible filling capacity.
Form
The shape of the interior of the tub also plays an important role, e.g., the steepness of the walls.
Position of the overflow
The lower the overflow and the associated water level, the smaller the filling quantity.
However, the capacity of a tub is never fully utilized solely due to the displacement of water by the body. In addition, the preferred fill level also depends on the height of the tub and the preferred sitting or lying position.
Whether a large bathtub is suitable for your bathroom is always a question of personal taste and the layout of the room. In long, symmetrical bathrooms, a large rectangular bathtub fits harmoniously into the overall design. However, if you have a bathroom with lots of nooks and crannies, a large corner bathtub for two people could be just right for you. If you are looking for an eye-catcher for a spacious bathroom, a freestanding, oversized bathtub placed in the middle of the room is a good choice. One thing is certain: a large bathtub can add an extra touch of luxury to any bathroom.
