Product overview
Calacatta Viola Italy Marble Bathtub Model 4 is a freestanding soaking tub cut from a single block of italy marble. Italian blocks carry strong colour movement. Block selection matters more than anything else here because the pattern on the finished tub is decided when the block is opened.

Who it is for
Penthouse bathrooms signature hotel suites show apartments and photography sets.
- Hotel and resort owners fitting suites or whole floors
- Architects and interior designers specifying a single sculptural piece
- Private owners building or renovating a master bathroom
- Spa operators who need a tub that survives commercial use
Problems it solves
- A hotel bathroom has to survive daily cleaning for years. Acrylic yellows and chips and cast stone shows the repair.
- Tubs assembled from slabs open at the seams. A tub carved from one block has no glue line to fail.
- Standard catalogue tubs rarely fit an existing alcove. This one is cut to the opening you have.
- Colour matching across many rooms is handled by cutting from the same block run.
Application scenarios
- Suite and villa bathrooms as the centre of the room
- Spa and treatment rooms where soaking time is long
- Outdoor decks and garden bathrooms in the harder stones
- Show apartments and photography sets

- Use mild neutral detergent and a soft cloth
- Keep acidic citrus and descaling products away from the stone
- Reseal on the schedule your installer recommends for this stone
- Use a soft brush for textured outer faces
Before you order
- Confirm the floor loading with your structural engineer
- Measure the route from the street to the bathroom including lift dimensions
- Decide the drain position against the existing plumbing
- Choose the outside finish because it changes how the room reads
- Agree the block approval photographs before cutting
