Carron Freestanding Baths

Carron’s freestanding baths are designed to cater to a variety of tastes and bathroom styles. Here are some of the standout models in their single-ended range:

Ascoli: Sleek and minimalist, the Ascoli range fits perfectly into modern bathrooms. It’s available in a compact 1700mm length, making it a fantastic option for smaller spaces. With its simple design, the Ascoli is about understated elegance. Despite its smaller size, it can hold up to 252 litres of water, meaning you won’t be missing out on comfort.

Celsius: If you prefer something with a sharper, more contemporary look, the Celsius range might be what you're after. These baths come in various sizes, including an impressive 1900mm option. Its larger size makes it perfect if you want a statement piece that can double as a deep soaking tub. Plus, like all Carron baths, the Celsius can be upgraded to Carronite for extra durability and heat retention.

Elysee: A bit more on the traditional side, the Elysee range is for those who want a blend of old-school charm with modern functionality. It's generously sized at 1800mm and offers a more classic shape, making it ideal for bathrooms with a vintage aesthetic.

Halcyon: This range offers versatility in both design and size, available in options like 1745mm length. It’s a popular choice for those wanting a bath that can adapt to different bathroom styles, whether modern or more transitional.

Paradigm: A more practical option without sacrificing style, the Paradigm comes in at 1550mm. This bath is perfect for those with smaller spaces who don’t want to compromise on design or comfort. Its compact size and clean lines make it a wonderful addition to contemporary bathrooms.

Each of these ranges is available in standard acrylic or Carronite, giving you the flexibility to choose depending on your needs.

Acrylic vs Carronite: What’s the Difference?

One of the main selling points of Carron baths is the choice between acrylic and Carronite models. While acrylic baths are durable and cost-effective, Carronite takes things up a notch. Carronite baths are three times stronger than standard acrylic, thanks to their triple-layer reinforcement. This extra strength means they last longer, hold heat better (perfect for long soaks), and resist scratches and damage more effectively. Carronite baths also come with an extended 30-year warranty, so you know they’re built to last.

That said, Carronite models do come with a higher price tag, but for many, the benefits are worth the investment. If you’re someone who loves a long, hot bath and you’re planning to use your freestanding bath for years to come, the extra cost might just pay off in comfort and durability.

Carron freestanding baths offer something for everyone, whether you’re after a sleek, minimalist design or something a bit more traditional. The choice between acrylic and Carronite is another factor to consider, with Carronite offering significant benefits if durability and heat retention are priorities for you. At Bathroom Supplies Online, we're proud to be one of only two official Carron dealers. While other retailers might advertise Carron products, many won’t actually have access to genuine stock and might try to switch-sell you to another brand. With us, you’re guaranteed the real deal, along with expert advice and reliable service.

Shapes and Sizes: Finding the Perfect Fit

One of the great things about Carron freestanding baths is the range of shapes and sizes on offer. Whether you’re after something that fits snugly into a smaller bathroom or a spacious bath for a more luxurious feel, Carron’s got you covered.

Shapes: Carron freestanding baths are available in a few common shapes: oval, rectangular, and square. Oval baths like the Ascoli and Celsius offer a softer, more traditional look. They work well in classic or minimalist bathrooms where you want a feature that doesn’t dominate the space. If you’re after something bolder, the rectangular or square options like those in the Paradigm range provide clean, sharp lines and fit perfectly into modern or contemporary bathroom designs. These shapes create a striking visual impact, especially when placed in the centre of the room.

Sizes: Bath size is another key factor to consider. Freestanding baths like the Elysee come in larger dimensions (around 1800mm) and offer a deep, spacious feel that’s perfect if you’ve got room to spare. On the other hand, smaller models like the Paradigm (at 1550mm) are ideal for more compact bathrooms without feeling cramped. Carron baths are designed with various depths and capacities, so you can easily find one that suits your space and how you like to bathe. The depth of these baths ranges from around 475mm to 480mm, with capacities varying from 252 litres to 330 litres, ensuring a comfortable soak every time.

Things to consider when choosing the right size:

• Bathroom size: Measure your bathroom space carefully to ensure your freestanding bath will fit without overwhelming the room.
• Placement: Freestanding baths look excellent when they’re the focal point of the bathroom, but you’ll also need to think about plumbing and access.
• Bathing experience: If you prefer long, deep soaks, go for a bath with a larger capacity and greater depth.
