The Rectangular Alcove Drop-In Copper Bathtub with Full Apron Front combines hand-forged solid copper with a refined micro-hammered surface, clean rectangular geometry, gently sloped back, broad rim, and complete copper apron.

Designed for alcove or deck-mounted installation, the flat apron creates a finished front elevation without requiring additional tile or stone cladding. Choose lengths of 48, 54, 60, 67, 72, 78, or 84 inches and natural, antique, coffee, or honey finishing. Uniform hammering, precise seams, and balanced edges give the traditional material a refined architectural appearance.

Product Summary

Solid hammered copper bathtub with rectangular geometry, full apron front, sloped back, broad rim, matte-satin patina, seven lengths, four finishes, and alcove or deck installation.

Rectangular Bathtub Design

The clean rectangular silhouette suits bathrooms emphasizing straight lines, organized proportions, and efficient built-in layouts.

Full Copper Apron Front

A single copper sheet forms the visible front face, creating a complete finished elevation beneath the upper rim.

Flat Apron Profile

The apron remains visually restrained, allowing the copper texture and patina to define the bathtub without excessive ornament.

Hand-Hammered Copper

Skilled artisans hammer the solid copper manually, creating a controlled texture that reflects light and reinforces the handcrafted character.

Refined Micro-Hammering

Small, evenly distributed impressions produce subtle movement while preserving the bathtub’s precise rectangular form.

Consistent Hammer Pattern

The uniform texture balances rustic metalworking with cleaner architectural styling suitable for traditional or contemporary bathrooms.

Medium Antique-Brown Patina

The photographed finish displays warm brown coloration with red, amber, bronze, and natural copper undertones.

Matte-Satin Sheen

The restrained sheen reduces harsh glare while revealing the hammer pattern, apron face, rim, and natural tonal variation.

Living Copper Finish

The patina may deepen through moisture, minerals, lighting, handling, cleaning habits, and normal bathroom use.

Broad Integrated Rim

The rim extends evenly around the basin, supporting secure installation and creating a defined transition into surrounding materials.

Gently Sloped Back

The interior back slopes gently to provide more comfortable support during seated or reclining soaking.

Clean Welded Seams

Carefully refined seams preserve structural integrity while supporting the bathtub’s clean edges and geometric appearance.

Alcove Installation

The bathtub fits within a framed alcove where surrounding waterproof walls create an efficient and integrated bathing area.

Deck-Mounted Installation

The broad rim also supports installation within a properly framed deck finished with stone, tile, marble, or another waterproof material.

Finished Front Elevation

The copper apron eliminates the need to cover the visible front with tile, stone, wood, or another separate finish.

Available Bathtub Lengths

Choose 48, 54, 60, 67, 72, 78, or 84 inches according to user height, alcove dimensions, and preferred soaking space.

Compact Bathtub Sizes

The 48- and 54-inch models suit smaller bathrooms, guest suites, apartments, and space-conscious renovations.

Standard Bathtub Sizes

The 60- and 67-inch options provide balanced proportions and practical soaking room for many primary bathrooms.

Oversized Bathtub Sizes

The 72-, 78-, and 84-inch models require greater water capacity, structural support, room clearance, and delivery access.

Natural Copper Finish

Natural finishing emphasizes brighter orange, amber, bronze, and reddish tones across the hammered body and apron.

Antique Copper Finish

Antique patina creates an established medium-brown appearance with warm highlights and balanced organic shading.

Coffee Copper Finish

Coffee patina produces deeper chocolate-brown coloration suited to walnut, soapstone, dark tile, and black fixtures.

Honey Copper Finish

Honey finishing introduces golden-brown tones that coordinate naturally with limestone, cream marble, pale wood, and aged brass.

Transitional Bathroom Design

The rectangular shape connects traditional copper craftsmanship with marble, paneled cabinetry, neutral tile, and modern fixtures.

Farmhouse Bathroom Design

The hammered apron complements painted cabinetry, natural wood, handmade tile, stone flooring, and vintage-inspired plumbing.

Industrial Bathroom Design

Pair the bathtub with concrete, dark steel, exposed brick, black fixtures, and restrained architectural lighting.

Hacienda Bathroom Design

Hammered copper coordinates naturally with plaster walls, Talavera tile, carved wood, terracotta, stone, and wrought iron.

Waterproofing Requirements

The alcove walls and surrounding deck require an independent waterproofing system before decorative finishes are installed.

Structural Support

The bathtub base and rim require stable, level framing designed for the tub, water, surrounding materials, and occupant.

Plumbing Access

Include accessible service space for the drain, overflow when specified, supply connections, and any concealed deck-mounted fixtures.

Drain Placement

Confirm the drain location before production and coordinate it with the floor structure, trap, bathtub orientation, and access panel.

Overflow Planning

Specify any overflow requirement before production and coordinate its position with the desired water level and framing.

Faucet Configuration

Use wall-mounted or deck-mounted plumbing after confirming spout reach, water direction, control clearance, and supply routing.

Water-Heater Capacity

Larger tubs require additional hot water, so verify heater capacity, recovery rate, faucet flow, and expected filling time.

Delivery Access

Measure doors, hallways, corners, stairways, elevators, bathroom entrances, and the final alcove before ordering.
