Who doesn't dream to go back home after a hard day at work, and to dive in their tub for a relaxing bath?
There is nothing more relaxing, in fact, take time for yourself so that, in recent years, there is a widespread tendency towards small spa at home to take care of your body.
But who, for reasons of space or availability, can not acquire these devices, can install a large dimension bathtub where to relax.
During Cersaie 2014 we have seen many companies that have exhibited extra large bathtubs with interesting shape, material and operation.
Most of the large bathtubs belong to thefree standing category, ie they are not supported to any wall but simply to the floor, where the pipes pass.
They can be installed in the bathroom or, why not, in the same bedroom where the tub will acquire considerable importance;
this installation, however, must be the result of a deliberate choice, especially based on the presence of other service areas of daily use.
Basically, if you have a service bathroom, where we installed a shower, the presence of a free standing and extra large bathtun in the bedroom acquires a strong aesthetic value, but it is not recommended, of course, for practical reasons, if there are no other service areas.
In any case, both if they are installed in the bathroom or in the bedroom, extra large bathtubs are especially interesting to see and comfortable to use, being accustomed, in fact, in most cases, to tanks the size of 1.80 m to 0.80 m, a tank of larger dimensions allows a greater comfort for the user.
In order to install it, however, it is necessary to have a large space so as to allow the passage between the furniture and the tub itself, ie at least 60 cm.
Let's see some examples.
The extra large dimensions of a tank are often associated with the presence of a hydromassage system useful for toning or relax the body: this is the case of Porcelanosa that, in special lines, shows tanks of different shape and size to better accommodate the body.
An example is given by Minimal series of rectangular bathtubs with a design based on essential lines and square corners. It is available in different sizes including the version duo for two people, with a double-seatback, 5 mm sanitary acrylic sheet gloss white and central drain.
From the point of view of technology is appropriate to specify that it is possible to equip the tub of different systems, starting from water hydro-massage, up to the full one, together with chromotherapy. From an aesthetic point of view, however, the outer shell can be customized with four finishes, three in acrylic and one in walnut.
At the boundary between a bathtub and a place of complete relaxation is the tub Bis One Top by Gruppo Treesse, a company of bathroom's furniture but highly specialized in the production of bath tubs and showers.
We're talking about a rectangular tank, dimensions 218 x 166 cm x 67 cm in height: to locate in the center of the room, it is equipped with a support structure with retractable step to facilitate boarding, all in solid wood, with a series of top-level accessories: pillows, grab bars, tub, level sensor, air disinfection, stabilization of water temperature, chromotherapy, radio, border tub faucets, towel racks, and many others.
After the description of products that require a certain size of the room to allow the installation, let's see an example of smaller dimensions, interesting because of its dual functionality.
We're talking about Fontana by Ceramica Flaminia, a large bowl circular in shape that fulfills both the function of bathtub and shower; precisely because of its dual function the line is complete with a system of curtains in water-repellent material, supported by a telescopic structure in polished stainless steel. It is made in Pietraluce®, which is an antibacterial resin, resistant to shock and detergents but very workable; you can finish it with different colors, so easily that the tank, with a diameter of 135 cm, is available in eight matte finishes and three glossy.
