Why Choose a Freestanding Tub

Copper has long been prized for its beauty, resilience, and heat-retaining properties. The metal’s natural conductivity allows water to stay warm much longer than in acrylic or porcelain tubs. Each soak becomes a spa-like ritual, maintaining a soothing temperature for extended relaxation. Copper’s natural antimicrobial qualities also inhibit bacteria and viruses, ensuring a cleaner, low-maintenance bathing environment without harsh chemicals.

The vertical-wall freestanding form maximizes interior volume while conserving bathroom space. The design’s consistent wall thickness and oval plan invite comfortable soaking for two. Whether installed in a rustic retreat or a minimalist loft, the tub enhances its surroundings with sculptural elegance and organic warmth.

Craftsmanship and Texture

Every panel is hammered by hand, creating a unique rhythm of dimples across the copper surface. This random hammering diffuses reflections softly, masking minor water marks and scratches while building character over years of use. The fire-aged patina deepens from warm bronze to dark coffee hues, transforming the tub into a living work of art that matures gracefully.

Design and Shape

The design showcases clean symmetry from base to rim, complemented by a subtle outward flare at the lip for visual lift and ergonomic comfort. The monolithic form combines traditional Spanish Colonial influence with modern refinement. Straight walls emphasize strength, while the flared lip softens the geometry for balanced proportions that complement any décor style.

Material and Finish

Constructed from 16-gauge recycled copper, each bathtub reflects dedication to both sustainability and artistry. The patina, developed through controlled heat and oxidation, results in layered hues of espresso, amber, and chestnut. This protective surface resists corrosion and deepens naturally, achieving character while maintaining durability for decades of daily use.

Custom Size Options

Standard lengths range from 48 to 78 inches, with widths of 30 to 32 inches. Bespoke sizing allows tailoring the proportions to your unique bathroom layout. Custom drain placement and patina finish options ensure each piece aligns with your design vision. For guidance on dimensions and spacing, refer to our copper tub size guide.
