Corner Baths

Baths are warming, provide relaxation and allow your mind to float away. It's therefore no wonder that people want a bath even in small bathrooms. A corner bath offers a good solution in many cases.

Why Purchase a Corner Bath?

A corner bath is a great option where space is more limited due to their shorter length and space-saving design.

Since corner baths are wider than their longer siblings, you don't need to worry about compromising on comfort. And if you like bubbles you'll find corner baths with whirlpool features. Corner baths offer interesting bathroom solutions. Corner baths are not only available in compact sizes, there are also corner baths that easily fit two people.

Some larger corner baths can take up to 400 litres or more. There is a risk that this will exhaust your hot water supply though. Check beforehand that your boiler will be able to provide enough hot water.

Corner baths are usually available in a wide variety of designs, such as those which sit across from or parallel to the wall. Some are extremely symmetrical or asymmetrically shaped. See which design you prefer and which shape works best in your bathroom.

Sanitary Acrylic or Steel Enamel?

Like a "normal" bath, corner baths are usually made from coloured sanitary acrylic or enamelled steel.

Steel enamel baths are virtually indestructible. Scratches have no chance here. It is difficult for bacteria to form on the smooth surface. Enamelled baths are heavier than acrylic baths and are colder to the touch. They warm up after a few minutes though.

Sanitary acrylic baths on the other hand dislike abrasive cleaners and scratch more easily. Small scratch marks are less visible thanks to the coloured plastic. Some bath products cause discolouration and must be rinsed away straight after bathing.

Finding the Right Size

We've already discussed the size of corner baths to some extent. Small corner baths have a side length of 120 cm or 125 cm, larger baths are around 150 cm long and wide. The two sides are usually equal in length but there are also baths where this is not the case. They look similar to standard baths and are only called corner baths because they are placed in the corner of the bathroom.

Some baths also have arm rests while others come with small seats in the corner area. In some baths, the water goes right to the corner whereas others have a relatively large rim area in the corner. The bath itself then has no corner anymore.

Popular Brands

You'll find corner baths in various designs and sizes in the Reuter online store. These baths are not only impressive due to their high quality and elegant design, but also their great prices. Corner baths are available from popular manufacturers such as Hoesch, Duravit, Koralle, Duscholux, Villeroy & Boch, Bette and Kaldewei.

While the latter two use steel enamel, the corner baths of the other manufacturers are usually made of sanitary acrylic. White is the standard colour of all these baths, however if you're a fan of the 1970s and colours such as Bahama beige or moss green, don't despair. There are still manufacturers who produce these baths upon request.

Corner Baths with Whirlpool Functions

Corner whirlpools bring additional relaxation to the bathroom. The jets, which bring the water into motion, loosen up and relax the muscles. These are differentiated by air jets and water jets. Air jets blow air into the water to get it moving.

With a water system, the water is sucked out of the bath and pumped back in to the bathwater using pressurised water jets. A corner whirl bath can be fitted with an air system, a water system or a combination of the two. Regardless of the system used, these corner baths offer pure relaxation.
