An excelsior cast stone freestanding bath might really be all your bathroom
needs to complete its modern day chic look. The fact that it is made from solid
cast stone means that the color goes deep and you can easily remove any
scratches or marks. Cast stone is also one of the few materials that provides
long-lasting beauty and is free of the structural weakness and fault lines you
might find in natural stone. In addition, although it is lighter and feels
warmer on the skin than quarried material, cast stone is stronger and more
durable than plastic.
Benefits
You may assume that free standing stone baths lack in comfort. On the contrary,
cast stone is amazingly smooth to the touch, allowing you to easily slide in
for a deep warm bath. It is also strong, which means you will not have to worry
about it cracking or suffering any irreparable damage for years to come. In
addition, minor accidental damages can easily be repaired on site, saving you a
lot of time and inconvenience. Cast stone is also great for retaining heat,
making it possible to enjoy a long warm bath without the water cooling too fast
- a problem with other types of baths.
Choosing A Bath
When choosing the ideal freestanding bath, keep in mind the purpose it is meant
to serve. If you will mainly use it for long, luxurious soaks, comfort should
be at the top of your priority list. If you need a tub that can accommodate you
and your partner, you may need one that is extra long or deep. In addition,
remember that the tub should comfortably fit in your bathroom, preferably at
the center of the room. You should also find out the maximum weight your
bathroom floor can support and compare this to the weight of the freestanding
baths you are looking at.
Maintenance
Stone freestanding bathtubs can easily be cleaned using a glass cleaner or
another non-abrasive cleaner. The surface is non-porous, so you won't have to
deal with mold, mildew or other fungi. Burns or scratches can be buffed out
easily while chips are easily repaired. Troublesome chores are easily
eliminated as a result. However, freestanding baths should be installed to
allow for easy access to all its sides for easy cleaning. Since freestanding
baths are only attached to the room via the plumbing, you need to choose a bath
that lies on the floor to conceal the plumbing, or one with adjustable legs.
Cast stone offers the benefit of custom design and creation, which means that
this type of freestanding baths come in almost any design that can include soft
angles, decorative edges, gentles curves and built-in conveniences. In
addition, cast stone can be thermoformed, which allows it to flow with both
traditional and non-traditional designs. You can easily get an excelsior cast
stone freestanding bath that reflects your style and matches its surrounding.
It can even provide the basis for the rest of your bathroom, whether you are
going for a modern or natural stone look.
