Acrylic baths: everything you need to know
Acrylic is a plastic material used to make different shapes. It is high-quality and has many advantages. It is a popular material for baths.
At RIHO, we offer a wide range of durable acrylic bathtubs. Be sure to read on to discover all the benefits!
Advantages of acrylic
Acrylic is the most frequently chosen material for the bathroom and certainly for bathtubs. It is easy to maintain, resistant to limescale and lightweight. So an acrylic bath is not heavy at all, weighing around 40 kg on average.
It is also smooth and pore-free, so dirt does not stand a chance and you can easily clean it. Additional advantages of an acrylic bath are that it is fade resistant and warm. So your bath water stays warm for longer, allowing you to enjoy your zen moment for longer!
In short, acrylic stands for high quality and is therefore a durable choice
Matt white acrylic: a beautiful eye-catcher
An absolute eye-catcher within the Riho range is the matt white acrylic collection. With matt white items you underline the calmness in your bathroom. Matt has a chic look and ensures a peaceful appearance.
Matt white is available for a number of (semi) freestanding bathtubs such as Desire Back-2-Wall, Desire Corner and Inspire, as well as for built-in baths such as Linares and Lugo.
The matt white acrylic collection combines perfectly with, for example, the Velvet Sole or Isola shower floors and our Livit modular bathroom furniture concept.
Types of acrylic baths
Acrylic bathtubs come in all shapes and sizes, and even the exterior of some Riho baths in acrylic can be obtained in matt black.
Built-in acrylic bathtubs
Whether you are looking for a large acrylic built-in bath of 190cm and larger or a space-saving bath, you will find it all in our range.
Below we show you built-in bathtubs Lusso and Neo. These acrylic baths are also available with bath panels for a sleek and seamless finish.
