Luxury Freestanding Boat Bath - BC Designs Copper Collection
The BC Designs Boat Bath in copper is a breathtaking statement piece that transforms your bathroom into an opulent sanctuary. This 1700mm freestanding roll-top bath combines traditional elegance with the warmth and character of copper, featuring a stunning handcrafted copper exterior and interior with a polished plinth that creates a floating visual effect.
Timeless Roll-Top Design with Copper Luxury
Inspired by classic Victorian bathing, the Boat Bath's elegant straight round shape and gently curved roll-top rim deliver timeless sophistication. The copper finish adds unparalleled warmth and luxury, creating a focal point that elevates your bathroom from functional space to personal spa retreat.
Handcrafted Copper Construction
Manufactured with both a copper outer and copper inner, this bath is a true work of art. Each bath is handcrafted to the highest standards, showcasing exceptional British craftsmanship. The copper construction provides natural antimicrobial properties whilst creating a stunning aesthetic that becomes the centrepiece of any luxury bathroom.
Exceptional Heat Retention
Copper is renowned for its excellent heat retention properties, keeping your bathwater warmer for significantly longer than standard acrylic or cast iron baths. Enjoy extended, relaxing soaks without the water cooling quickly, creating a truly luxurious bathing experience.
Distinctive Polished Plinth
The signature polished plinth elevates the bath both literally and aesthetically, creating a stunning floating effect that adds architectural interest. This premium detail sets the BC Designs Boat Bath apart from standard freestanding baths and showcases exceptional design.
Generous Size for Luxury Bathing
At 1700mm long and 725mm wide, this bath provides generous space for comfortable, luxurious bathing. With a 190-litre capacity (120L displaced), the straight round boat shape offers excellent ergonomic support, allowing you to recline in comfort while enjoying your soak. The larger 1700mm size is perfect for taller bathers or those who prefer extra space.
Care & Maintenance Requirements
To maintain the shiny, untarnished copper finish, this bath requires regular waxing and maintenance. The copper will develop a natural patina over time if not maintained, which some owners prefer for its unique character. Specialist copper cleaning and waxing products are recommended to preserve the lustrous finish.
