Freestanding bathtub Shumee ROTTO 170 x 80 cm red

The freestanding bathtub Shumee ROTTO 170 x 80 cm red is a standalone bathing unit designed for residential bathrooms and renovation projects. With outer dimensions of 170 x 80 cm and a striking red finish, this bath offers a roomy interior for soaking while serving as a focal element in contemporary bathroom layouts. It is intended for floor-mounted, freestanding installation and suits installations where a dedicated bath position and visual impact are required.

Advantages

This freestanding tub provides a spacious bathing area due to its 170 x 80 cm dimensions, allowing comfortable reclining and immersion. The red colour adds a distinctive design accent that can complement modern or eclectic interiors. Its freestanding configuration enables flexible placement without requiring built-in surrounds, making it suitable for renovation or new-build bathrooms where a standalone fixture is preferred.

Suitable for

• Home bathrooms seeking a freestanding bathtub as a focal point
• Renovation projects where flexible placement is needed
• Interiors with modern, contemporary or eclectic colour schemes
• Users who prefer separate bathtubs rather than integrated bath-shower units

When it may not be suitable

The Shumee ROTTO freestanding bathtub may not be suitable for very small bathrooms where the 170 x 80 cm footprint cannot be accommodated, or where built-in alcove or integrated shower-bath solutions are required. It also may not be appropriate where specific accessibility features (such as low-threshold entries, grab bars, or built-in seating) are mandatory unless additional modifications are made.

Key specifications

• Type: freestanding bathtub
• Outer dimensions: 170 x 80 cm
• Finish: red
• Installation: floor-mounted, freestanding

How to use

Place the freestanding bathtub on a level, stable floor capable of supporting the filled weight. Allow adequate space around the tub for cleaning and plumbing access. Connect the drain and overflow to the existing plumbing system using compatible fittings; ensure water supply and waste lines are installed according to local plumbing codes. Fill the tub to the desired level and adjust water temperature before entering. After use, drain fully and rinse the interior; follow manufacturer care instructions for cleaning to maintain the finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm bathroom floor dimensions and clearances to accommodate a 170 x 80 cm freestanding bathtub
• Verify floor load capacity for the tub when filled with water and occupant(s)
• Plan plumbing connections (drain location, overflow, and water supply) for a freestanding installation
• Consider the visual impact of the red finish in your bathroom scheme

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable installation, use certified plumbing fittings and, if necessary, consult a licensed installer. Clean the tub surface with non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to preserve the red finish; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. Allow sufficient clearance on all sides for maintenance and consider accessory options such as freestanding faucets or handheld showers designed for freestanding tubs.
