1600mm Freestanding Bath Collection

The Haddon 1600mm freestanding bath is where proportion begins to feel generous. It steps beyond compact dimensions, yet avoids the dominance of the very largest tubs. In this scale, there is space to recline fully, to breathe more deeply, and to treat bathing as something indulgent without losing connection to the room around it. Available in both acrylic and stone designs, these baths bring choice: the permanence and heat-holding solidity of stone, or the lighter flexibility of acrylic for modern renovations.

Discover the complete Haddon baths collection, including compact designs at 1400mm and 1500mm, or explore the 1700mm and 1800mm ranges for expansive statement interiors.

The Experience of a Haddon 1600mm Luxury Bath

A 1600mm luxury bath offers more than size. In stone, it feels carved and enduring, the surface cool to begin with, then quietly storing heat as the water holds its temperature. In acrylic, the same dimensions read differently: lighter, seamless, easy to manoeuvre into position during bath installation. Both materials have been selected for their strength, their tactility, and their ability to make daily bathing an act of restoration.

The bathtub dimensions of 1600mm create an equilibrium. Shorter models can feel tailored for efficiency, while 1700mm or 1800mm designs can tip into grandeur. The 1600mm sits at the midpoint: long enough to stretch out in, deep enough for full-body immersion, yet still suited to master ensuites and family bathrooms where space has to be considered. With water capacities ranging from 295-315 litres to overflow, the soak feels abundant without being excessive.

Shape then directs the atmosphere. A round freestanding bathtub becomes a spa-like pool, inviting slow immersion and balance. A modern freestanding tub sharpens the architecture of the room, lending structure and rhythm to contemporary bathroom design. Each bath becomes a sculptural gesture that transforms water into an experience.

Design Elements That Complete the Interior

A 1600mm freestanding bath is most powerful when the rest of the room reflects its character. With Haddon’s range of wider luxury bathroom fixtures, the scheme feels complete.

Freestanding vanities introduce function with elegance. Their generous surfaces create space for storage and styling, while marble top finishes add texture and depth to the scheme. Sculptural countertop basins elevate simple rituals into moments of design; they give everyday routines definition, their shapes and finishes mirroring the bath’s own refinement.

Mirrors with minimal frames extend the perception of light and space. By doubling sightlines, they make the bathroom feel larger, calmer, and more open. And our slimline designer radiators deliver warmth without visual heaviness. Tall, narrow profiles keep the lines of the room clear, contributing to a sense of vertical balance.

Finally, bathroom accessories supply the finishing tone. Matte black tones create sharp contrast, warm gold enriches the palette,, and polished nickel or shiny chrome provides a crisp, timeless accent. Together, these details bring the room into alignment with the bath, shaping an interior that feels curated and quietly luxurious.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the water capacity of a 1600mm bath?

Most 1600mm freestanding baths hold between 295–315 litres of water to overflow, depending on the model’s exact shape and depth. This places them above mid-size tubs in capacity, but more efficient than the largest bathtubs. The result is a soak that feels immersive while remaining practical in terms of water and energy use.

How much does a 1600mm stone bath weigh?

A 1600mm stone bathtub typically weighs between 105kg and 123kg when empty. This gives it a solid, enduring presence. Acrylic models are considerably lighter, averaging around 36kg, which makes them easier to manoeuvre during installation. For upper floors, weight should always be checked against the structural capacity of the room.

Will a 1600mm freestanding bath fit in a standard UK bathroom?

In most cases, yes. A 1600mm luxury bath is well suited to medium and larger bathrooms, including many master ensuites and family layouts. Designers recommend allowing at least 2.5-3 square metres of clear floor space, with 600-700mm of circulation clearance around one or more sides for comfort. This ensures the bath feels accessible without overwhelming the room.

Does a 1600mm luxury bath require special installation?

Acrylic and stone models both install using standard freestanding bath fittings, but there are considerations. Stone baths are heavier, requiring floor strength checks. Acrylic baths are lighter but may need additional bracing during installation. Every Haddon 1600mm freestanding bath comes with a dedicated installation guide in the downloads section of its product page, making planning straightforward for installers and homeowners.

Is a 1600mm freestanding bath big enough for two people?

A 1600mm freestanding bath can suit two people in certain designs, particularly round models with generous internal width. However, it is primarily designed for solo use. Compared to 1400mm or 1500mm tubs, the extra length and depth offer greater comfort for reclining, while still being more manageable than a full 1800mm soaking tub.

Are 1600mm baths comfortable for daily use?

Yes. A 1600mm luxury bath is designed to balance space and comfort, making it ideal for everyday routines as well as longer, indulgent soaks. The length allows most adults to recline fully, while the depth supports full-body immersion. Whether in stone or acrylic, these baths hold heat well, so water stays warmer for longer – a detail that enhances comfort in daily use.
