Choosing a new bathtub is fun but can also be a very stressful experience too. There are many styles, sizes and types to choose from. From Freestanding to traditional Alcove, each tub fulfills a different bathroom design need. Making your choice will depend on space available, design of bathroom and of course cost.

At Mirolin we have several options to choose from:

Freestanding

Freestanding bathtubs are an increasingly popular design and self-care feature homeowners are adding to their bathrooms. Traditional to modern – freestanding bathtubs add drama and a focal point to the bathroom. A Freestanding tub is just that, freestanding. It is not connected to any walls, it is finished on all sides and stands alone. Explore Acrylic Freestanding bathtubs.

Alcove

These tubs are used often as they fit in many spaces that already have existing tubs. An Alcove Tub has unfinished ends and is placed in between two walls. Mirolin offers several types of Alcove Tubs and Tub/Shower combinations to suit your needs.

Drop In
