Depending on the size of the bathroom, but also its features (general condition of the building, permanent elements such as windows or door location), choosing a bathtub is often a better solution. A perfect example of bathtubs that are also used as a shower are models with a separate shower zone. For those lucky people who have large bathrooms and want to create a luxurious SPA atmosphere at home, a free-standing bathtub will be the perfect choice. Progressing technological processes and the availability of materials allow for almost unlimited possibilities of choosing bathroom devices. To help you make the best decision, we present a brief description of various bathtub models and the possibilities of their arrangement in virtually any space.
Types of bathtubs - shape matters
When choosing the perfect bathtub, we often wonder which model will be the best, especially when we have a small space.
Rectangular bathtubs
The most popular bathtub models include rectangular bathtubs . They are easy to arrange and, thanks to a wide selection of sizes, they can be used in small bathrooms. Standard dimensions start at 140 cm in length and 70 cm or 75 cm in width. Differing in depth, they allow you to choose bathtubs that are more economical in terms of water consumption. If you want to choose the most comfortable model, it is worth paying attention to the length of the bottom inside the bathtub. The popular models include rectangular bathtubs with a minimalist design, which makes them fit into any interior.
An alternative to rectangular bathtubs are symmetrical wall-mounted bathtubs, the longer edge of which is adjacent to one of the bathroom walls.

Symmetrical and asymmetric bathtubs
Symmetrical bathtubs are characterized by a rounded shape, and their construction was planned for installation in the corners of bathrooms. These are by far the largest solutions in terms of size. Corner bathtubs include symmetrical models with sides starting at 135 cm, as well as asymmetrical models with dimensions of 80x140cm and more. Equipped with a comfortable seat or headrest inside, as well as a hydromassage system, they can transform an ordinary bathroom into a place of luxurious rest.
Freestanding bathtubs
From exclusive bathing salons to standard apartment bathrooms. A free-standing bathtub means comfort and functionality, as well as an aesthetic design that, depending on the arrangement concept, can be adapted to both a Scandinavian-style and a glamorous bathroom.
