The dimensions 180 x 78 cm balance bathing space with efficient use of floor area.

Suitable for

• Residential bathrooms that can accommodate a medium-to-large freestanding tub
• Bathroom remodels where a visual centerpiece is desired
• Installations using freestanding or floor-mounted taps and standard waste outlet plumbing
• Users seeking full-body immersion and ergonomic reclining support

When it may not be suitable

This freestanding bathtub may not be suitable for very small bathrooms where a built-in or corner tub would better conserve space. It is also not the best choice where wall-mounted plumbing or shower-over-bath configurations are mandatory without additional adjustments. If access for installation of freestanding taps or floor-mounted plumbing is restricted, alternative tub styles should be considered.

How to use

Position the freestanding bathtub on a level, load-bearing floor and allow access for plumbing connections.

Fill the tub to the desired level and test drains and overflow (if present) before routine use. Regularly clean the surface with non-abrasive cleaners recommended for the tub finish to maintain appearance and function.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure bathroom floor area and clearances to ensure the 180 x 78 cm tub fits comfortably and allows access around the tub
• Confirm compatibility with freestanding or floor-mounted tap options and the location of the waste/drain
• Verify floor load capacity and the need for any reinforcement under the bathtub
• Consider professional installation to ensure correct plumbing connections and secure placement

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Shumee ANTIGUA freestanding bathtub with a dedicated freestanding faucet and ensure plumbing is installed by a qualified professional. Clean the black finish with gentle, non-abrasive products and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve color and surface integrity.
