Rectangular Baths

Looking for a traditional rectangular bath? Then you're in the right place here at Reuter. With almost 3,000 designs from more than 20 manufacturers, there is something to suit every taste and budget. Different sizes and materials are available to choose from.

The description rectangular bath says it all. However, they vary significantly in terms of width and particularly length. There are rectangular baths for large bathrooms as well as small ones for tiny bathrooms. So, anyone wanting a rectangular bath in their bathroom will generally be able to fit one in somewhere. Large rectangular baths that accommodate two people are naturally even better.

Sanitary Acrylic or Steel Enamel?

For wonderful relaxation: rectangular baths are more commonly made from sanitary acrylic these days. The material is extremely smooth and can generally be cleaned using just a soft cloth and a little water. Acrylic also has a warm surface which is more pleasant to the touch. Since the material is coloured right through, small scratches on rectangular baths are less visible. Larger scratches can be polished out and filled in using a special material.

Enamelled steel is another material found in rectangular baths. Bette and Kaldewei are specialist manufacturers of these types of bath. The material feels a little colder than acrylic but once warm it is extremely comfortable to lie in. Steel enamel rectangular baths are virtually indestructible, although the enamel can chip upon impact. There are special repair sets for these baths too though. Scratches stand little chance on the smooth, hard surface and it is difficult for bacteria to form here.

Not Just for Corners

Because of their shape, rectangular baths naturally work well placed in the corner. However, they can also look great placed in the centre of the room with tiled cladding, for example, If you want to display your bath even more, you can place it on a platform.

A real bathroom highlight are baths that are embedded into the floor. However, you'll need a sunken variant of around 50 centimetres to do this. This is therefore only usually possible on ground floors.

You'll find rectangular baths in all imaginable designs and sizes in the Reuter online store. Rectangular baths are available from manufacturers such as Villeroy & Boch, Bette, Hoesch, Duscholux, Kaldewei and Geberit (formerly Keramag).

There really is no shortage of big names. You can be sure that both the quality and design are top class. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be a rectangular bath by Sir Norman Foster or another top designer.
