Does a drop-in bath have to be a rectangle?

We had a conversation the other other day regarding the shape of a bath and the question was put after looking through the new Bette baths brochure – is the rectangle the best shape for a bath?

After much deliberation, it made sense that baths don’t need to be rectangle. In fact, sometimes it isn’t the right shape for the bathroom size or flow. The owners bathroom for example, probably required a trapezoid shaped bath so that at the foot end of the bath, which flowed into the walk in shower area, would have more room and and an easier walking path if it wasn’t rectangle. Moreover, there is now more circular inset baths and shorter more wide drop in baths for the added bathing experience, rather then the added leg room. It was hard for us to get our head around the rectangle shape we have been selling for almost 35 years and after a few discussions we believe different shapes can actually suit different bathrooms depending on the flow you are trying to create.

The new Bette Space range gives the following benefits to its user:
