Nordvane 830 Corner Freestanding Bathtub, 150 × 150 cm

Set up in a family bathroom that gets used morning and night, Nordvane 830 plumbs in with a freestanding filler rather than deck-mounted taps, which is what keeps the sides clean.

It is built in stone resin: a stone resin composite, denser than acrylic and colder to the touch until the water's been in a minute, but it holds heat noticeably longer once it has.

Delivery arrives crated on a pallet; two people are needed to move it into the room, ideally before the last stud wall goes up. Ten years of daily use leaves a door seal or a roller tired long before the glass or the tub itself gives up.

Care

Wipe down after use and avoid abrasive cleaners on acrylic or stone resin — they dull the finish permanently. Cast iron and copper only need occasional polishing to keep their look.
