Product Summary

Solid copper bathtub with a smooth seamless surface, elongated oval basin, flared sides, wide rolled rim, flush bottom, seven standard lengths, and natural or coffee patina.

Smooth Copper Surface

This model is specifically made without hammer marks, allowing its uninterrupted copper surface, curved form, tonal shading, and hand-applied patina to remain prominent.

Seamless Artisan Finish

The refined surface creates a cleaner appearance than traditional hammered copper while retaining natural handmade character and subtle finishing variation.

Dark Brown Patina

The photographed finish displays rich brown coloration with restrained bronze, reddish, amber, and natural copper undertones.

Living Copper Character

The patina may deepen or develop additional shading through moisture, minerals, light, handling, cleaning habits, and normal bathroom use.

Elongated Oval Basin

The oval interior provides generous soaking space while softening the architectural lines of the surrounding alcove or custom deck.

Gently Flared Sides

The walls taper inward toward the bottom, increasing upper-body space while creating a comfortable and visually balanced soaking profile.

Deep Soaking Comfort

The basin supports restful immersion, with final comfort determined by the selected length, custom dimensions, water depth, and user proportions.

Wide Rolled Rim

The broad rounded rim strengthens the upper edge and provides a defined transition between the bathtub and surrounding finish materials.

Flush Bottom Design

The level bottom supports recessed, drop-in, or framed installation when placed on stable structural support prepared for the completed bathtub.

Alcove Installation

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

Custom Deck Installation

The rolled rim also supports placement inside a deck finished with stone, marble, tile, wood, or another suitable waterproof material.

Framed Enclosure Installation

A custom enclosure can conceal the lower exterior while keeping the copper basin and rolled rim visible as the primary design feature.

Available Bathtub Lengths

Choose 48, 54, 60, 67, 72, 78, or 84 inches according to user height, finished opening, room size, and preferred soaking space.

Compact Size Options

The 48- and 54-inch models suit guest bathrooms, apartments, secondary suites, and renovations with limited alcove space.

Standard Size Options

The 60- and 67-inch models provide balanced proportions and practical soaking room for many primary bathroom layouts.

Oversized Size Options

The 72-, 78-, and 84-inch models provide additional interior space while requiring greater water capacity, structural support, and delivery clearance.

Custom Bathtub Dimensions

Dimensions may be tailored when the finished alcove, deck opening, user requirements, or surrounding architecture require nonstandard proportions.

Natural Copper Finish

Natural finishing emphasizes brighter orange, amber, bronze, and reddish copper tones across the smooth body.

Coffee Copper Finish

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

Choosing the Patina

Review both finish options under lighting similar to the bathroom because surrounding stone, tile, wood, and wall colors influence their appearance.

Contemporary Bathroom Design

The smooth oval basin coordinates with large-format tile, slab surrounds, frameless glass, floating vanities, and simplified plumbing fixtures.

Rustic Bathroom Design

Warm copper complements natural stone, plaster walls, reclaimed wood, handmade tile, and aged-metal hardware.

Transitional Bathroom Design

The refined surface and traditional copper material connect modern cabinetry and marble with warmer handcrafted bathroom details.

Waterproofing Requirements

The surrounding walls and deck require an independent waterproofing system before tile, stone, plaster, or another finish is installed.

Structural Support

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

Plumbing Access

Include a service panel for the drain, overflow when specified, supply connections, and any deck-mounted fixtures concealed by the enclosure.

Drain Placement

Confirm the drain location before production and coordinate it with the floor structure, trap, basin orientation, and future service access.

Overflow Planning

Specify any overflow requirement before production and coordinate its location with the intended water level, framing, and plumbing arrangement.

Faucet Configuration

Wall-mounted or deck-mounted plumbing may be used after confirming spout reach, water direction, control access, and supply routing.

Water-Heater Capacity

Larger tubs require more hot water, so verify heater capacity, recovery rate, supply-line size, faucet flow, and expected filling time.

Delivery Access

Measure exterior doors, hallways, corners, stairways, elevators, bathroom entrances, and the final installation area before ordering.
