Corner Baths: 6 Essential Questions Answered
Understanding the essentials of corner baths can help you make an informed decision while renovating your bathroom. Below, we answer six of the most frequently asked questions about corner baths, helping you to discover whether this option is right for your home.
- What is a corner bath?
It is a bathtub specifically designed to fit into the corner of a bathroom, typically in a triangular shape. This design is ideal for maximising bathroom space, especially in smaller rooms where a standard bath might be too large or cumbersome. Corner baths are available in various sizes and styles, including jetted options like our Genoa and Sienna models.
- What are the benefits?
Installing a corner bath offers several advantages, particularly in terms of space efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and comfort. They often come with built-in seating or ledges, providing extra comfort and utility. Models like the Venus offer luxurious features such as hydrotherapy jets, enhancing the bathing experience and turning your bathroom into a personal spa.
- How much space do I need?
The amount of space required for a corner bath depends on the size and style of the bath you choose. Generally, it takes up less wall space than a traditional rectangular bath, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms. However, it’s important to measure your bathroom carefully and consider the dimensions of the bath itself. For example, the Capri model is compact yet offers ample space for a comfortable soak.
- Are they comfortable?
Yes, corner baths are designed with comfort in mind. Despite their compact size, they can be just as comfortable as standard baths, if not more. Many models include ergonomic seating and backrests, allowing you to relax while bathing. The Sienna jetted bath is a perfect example, featuring a deep soaking area and contoured design that supports your body for a soothing experience.
- How do I clean and maintain my bath?
Cleaning and maintaining your bath is straightforward, although it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners will keep your bath looking pristine and prevent the build-up of soap scum and grime. For jetted baths, like the Genoa, it’s crucial to run a cleaning cycle periodically to remove any residue from the pipes and jets.
- Are they more expensive than standard baths?
The cost of a corner bath can vary depending on the size, material, and additional features. In general, they may be slightly more expensive than standard rectangular baths due to their unique design and the space-saving benefits they offer.
