For two
Among the great variety of options for large-sized baths, it is worth singling out models designed for use by two, which are perfect for couples in love, newlyweds or spouses who have been married for a long time.

Baths of this format take up a lot of space, and their installation is only possible in a room of large size or in a dedicated area next to the pool.

One of the most popular options for couples is considered an acrylic corner-type bathtub, because this option will take up much less space than a model with a regular arrangement. In addition, in demand are bathtubs for couples of unusual shape, for example, in the form of a figure of eight or even a heart.

There is a bathtub divided into two halves, each of which is designed for one person.

Choosing a size
When choosing a bathtub, one of the first parameters that one pays attention to is the size. But it is important to remember that, as a rule, the inner volume differs from the outer dimensions. Most often the bathtub is made oval in shape, as this reduces the amount of water needed to fully immerse the body.
Of course, it is necessary to choose it based on the size of the room, you should not buy a large bath if the size of your room is a little more than 3 or 4 square meters. For large room range of choices is very wide, the length can start from 150 and reach up to 300 centimeters in length, but, in this case it already turns out a mini-pool.
For standard-sized bathrooms it is preferable to choose those models that allow an adult to stretch out to their full height. They will be larger than usual in their parameters, but they will not take up much space.
And here in private homes or cottageswhere the bathroom can reach a huge size, you can use models with an open type of installation, which include free-standing large models made of cast iron or acrylic, as well as marble or even glass.
Marble models look unusual and chic. We wrote about them in detail in the article about marble baths.
For your reference: The largest bathtub in the world is a model of solid granite, found in Russia. Its shape is a circle with a diameter of 7 m. The height is about 2 m and the depth is 1.5 m.

If there is an opportunity to allocate a separate area for the pool, it is most convenient to arrange a large bath for several people, which can be further equipped with hydromassage.



Tips for choice
Some of the most popular models are considered bathtubs made of cast iron, steel or acrylic. Any chosen material will be of high quality and reliable, since large sizes imply double the load, so the quality of assembly in this case, special attention is paid.
When choosing should take into account the height of the people who will use it, as to use a bath more than 2 meters long is convenient only for those whose height is above average.

In addition, when choosing, it is necessary to compare the parameters with the area of your bathroom. For a large bathroom, almost any model that can be installed both on the side and in the center of the bathroom will do. And if the room is small, it is possible to compensate for the small size of the bath with a large internal volume, making the sides high.
It is believed that ideally the depth of the bath should be about fifty or sixty centimeters. It is this size allows you to dive into the water completely, but it will not be a problem when stepping over the edge.

Determine how many people are planning to use the bath at the same time. Now on the market there are widely available models for two people and even for four or six.

Interior design options

As for a harmonious combination with the interior, here it is quite difficult to advise anything, because everyone has his own preferences, but in general there are several options that will help you choose the right bath:
- If you plan to create in your room like a medieval boudoir with luxurious decorations, it is best to opt for a cast-iron model. It is at the sight of such baths immediately reminds us of the pictures from history books, where the houses of the nobility were depicted;
- To create a modern interior or thematic project (for example, the oriental or maritime style, etc.) is the best way to suit the model of acrylic, which can be installed separately or be built into the podium;
- If you want to install a bathtub next to a window or balcony, with a view of a beautiful landscape, in this case, a model of marble or kvaril is ideal, which are often installed in country houses.

Features of installation
Before installation, it is recommended to clarify the weight of the bath separately and together with the water, this is a very important point, because not all floors are able to withstand such weight. Calculate the weight must be very accurate and do not forget that in addition to the bathtub on the floor will be other plumbing and furniture, the mass of which must also be taken into account.

If the sides will be quite high, unlike standard models, it is better to think in advance about the safety of use and attach steps or small stairs to enter and exit it.

In order to fill the bathtub of larger sizes, you will need several times more water than for standard models. Therefore, it is advisable to buy a faucet in advance, which will supply water in a wide jet, and therefore the bath will be filled faster than with a regular faucet.
To make the water drain faster, you will need to install a special drain, which, unlike the standard version, will cope with its task faster.

Installing a large-sized bathtub in a private home will even require a separate water line with a specially installed feed pump and increase the size of the sewage well.
