Adding a “Wow” Factor to Your Bathroom

2011-11-08T00:20:00.000-08:00

Standalone bathtubs add that touch of lifestyle to your bathroom. It can bring that beautiful stress-free atmosphere and create a focal point to the space that many bathrooms lack. In addition, freestanding tubs are deeper than traditional built-in tubs and allow a more relaxing bath.

If you are looking for ways to place in that drama in your bathroom, check out these ideas for design with a freestanding bathtub.

Color Me Right – while a classic white standalone bathtubs can be a centerpiece in itself, adding color to your focal point is always considered dramatic and daring. If your decorative style is eclectic, slightly more daring than the usual, consider finding a freestanding tub that has color and style. Aquatica Purescape 023 is one example that standalone tubs are not just in traditional white anymore.

Accessorize Me – Do you prefer to modernize your soaking tub atmosphere? Freestanding tubs can also have directional jets, music, colored lights, and aromatherapy options that can give you the ultimate spa experience at home. If you are not into that fancy modern-day bath experience, consider freestanding slipper bathtubs that classical style bath fillers and other customized user settings like feet and exterior apron.

Going for minimal lines – Many people think of bold, eye-catching colors and outlandish patterns to associate with drama. However, that breathtaking feeling can be felt with minimal design and just simple patterns. The Aquatica Modern Purescape line proves that it can give your bathroom that oomph needed with those minimalist forms. Placing it in the center of your bathroom with only an accompanying piece of chair or bath accessory and you will have that focal point that will create the defining bathroom atmosphere.

Unique Materials - freestanding bathtubs come in a variety of materials from copper, wood, marble and concrete. Add that drama in your bathroom by purchasing a bathtub that is made of your preferred materials to add that personal touch in your bathroom. Aquatica offers acrylic and stone bathtubs that create enough drama in itself.

Now that you’ve seen how to add drama to your bathroom, it’s up to you to choose from the vast colors and styles of freestanding bathtubs out there! If you need help visualizing what size and style would fit your bathroom, consider asking your interior designer or a bathroom planning specialist for advice with your specific bathroom. While you may fall in love with quite a few, every bathroom is different, and choosing the right freestanding tub for your bathroom can save time, money, and keep you happy for years to come!

Aquatica Synthetic Resin Bathtubs - Frequently Asked Questions

2011-11-05T22:20:00.000-07:00

Q: What is Aquastone? Aquastone is a technologically advanced solid composite material which consists of a high percentage of natural stone minerals and of a low percentage of acrylic resin (also known as PolyMethyl MethAcrylate or PMMA) and is especially engineered for the manufacturing of stone bathtubs and washbasins. The main natural mineral is Aluminium TriHydrate (ATH) derived from bauxite, an ore from which aluminium is produced. As a result, Aquastone is an inert, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, 100% recyclable and fire-resistant material. It has a great resistance to UV radiation, is dense/non-porous, hygienic, durable and is pleasant to touch due to its velvety texture. Aquastone is 100% restorable, since it can be restored to its original state with simple abrasive detergent and sponge, removing even cigarette burns. A frequent cleaning of Aquastone will ensure the preservation of the original beauty of Aquastone bathtubs and prevents wear and tear signs that might occur in the course of time.
Q: Is Aquastone a safe material? Aquastone is an inert and nontoxic material.
Q: How long will the Aquastone bathtubs last? If maintained properly, the Aquastone material will outlast most other materials. Possible damage can be repaired by a specialized technician with little effort which keeps the Aquastone bathtubs and washbasins always new.
Q: Does Aquastone emit any gasses? Does it burn? Under normal temperature conditions, Aquastone does not emit any gases. While burning, it releases mainly Carbon Oxides and the smoke generated is optically light and does not contain toxic halogenated gases.
Q: May Aquastone discolor? No, it cannot.
Q: What is the difference between PureScape 606 and 204? Essentially, it is the same tub exactly. In the past we used to have 2 different models with slightly different dimensions but now it is the same product.
Q: What is the difference between Matte (sandblasted) and glossy surface finishes? The difference is purely aesthetic and depends on what you prefer aesthethically. The matte effect is achieved by sanding after the polishing so it takes more time and labor to manufacture a matte finish tub. In the design community the sandblasted finishes are generally preferred due to their unique look. Most vendors charge extra for sandblasted versions while we do not.
Q: Is there any difference between repairing matte and glossy finish tubs? Is there any difference in repairing and maintenance procedures between the two finishes? Both finishes can be repaired the same way as you would be repairing a scratched car finish – polishing paste and lots of buffing for glossy finish tubs while sanding with very fine sandpaper will be required for the matte finish tubs.
Q: Do you supply the waste overflow fittings with your stone tubs? All our tubs come standard with integral waste / overflow.
Q: What is the material like that the tubs are made of? The material is a solid 25mm (1 inch) of solid synthetic resin / stone.
Q: What is the shipping weight of your synthetic resin tubs? The average shipping weight is 480lbs while the net weight is approximately 300lbs. There is no need for floor reinforcement in your home if your house is built in accordance with North American construction standards and in compliance with local building codes.
Q: Can I jet my synthetic resin bathtub? No, you can not. The synthetic resin (synthetic stone) tubs are not designed to be jetted.

How to buy a freestanding acrylic tub

2011-11-05T13:09:00.000-07:00

Remodeling your bathroom? A popular tend in bathroom remodeling is the use of freestanding acrylic bathtubs. These tubs are fully covered from all sides and vacuum-molded from sheets of acrylic and reinforced with fiberglass. This type of molding makes the tubs lightweight and can be easily repaired or replaced with little or no effort at all.

Freestanding acrylic tubs are non-porous and scratch resistant. Home owners do not need to do much to keep them working effectively for years. These freestanding baths make a really good investment for your bathroom.

But with so many models around, what do you look for in buying a freestanding acrylic tub?

Before you buy a bathtub there are some things that you will need to consider besides the color and shape. Take a good look at your bathroom, or the rendering of the way it will look when it is finished, to help you envision how the bathtub will fit into the space.

Bathtub Size and Style

The bathtub will need to fit into the space you have. If you are working with a builder or contractor, have him measure the height, width and length of the space and give you an idea of the size of the tub you will need. If not, you and a friend should carefully measure the space. You will also want to consider the style of your house and especially your bathroom.

Plumbing

Consider the current location of the bathtub drain if you are doing a remodel. For example, if your existing tub drain is at the foot and you are considering a bathtub with a center drain, you might be required to make potentially costly adjustments to your plumbing. Always talk to your contractor or plumber before you make a final decision.

Budget

Next, determine your bathtub budget. High quality freestanding bathtubs range in price from two thousand to several thousand dollars. Knowing what you want to spend can make picking a bathtub easier, since your budget often limits your choices.

Bathroom remodels can add value to your home, and they last a long time. Choose your fixtures carefully and get the best you can afford.
