How heavy are T and L Bathtubs?
Unlike natural stone, our stone composite bathtubs vary in weight from 200lbs – 340 lbs. This does not require reinforcement of your floor, provided that the building is structurally sound. The weight of the filled bathtub should not be of concern, however please consult an engineer or architect.
What is the difference between matte and gloss finishes?
Gloss finishes are shiny, whereas matte finishes are not. Our matte finish is by far the more popular and give the appearance of natural stone. At the end of the day, this is personal preference and we’re happy to help you decide what option works best for your bathroom project.
