When choosing a steel bath such as the Kaldewei or Bette bath ranges what you get are;

Constant Water Temperature

Steel Enamel is a great conductor of water and it quickly assumes the temperature of the water. By warming the steel enamel, you inversely keep the water warmer for longer and maintain a constant water temperature. Allowing you to soak up the luxury of a warm bath for longer.

Acid, Impact & Scratch Proof

Its Child proof! The steel enamel is acid & impact resistance that is scratch proof (we’ve thrown rocks at one before, all in the name of science of course!). It is also burn resistant so that any candles which accidentally fall into the bath do not leave permanent marks.

No Static

There is no static when you hope into a steel bath, therefore the bath doesn’t attract dust & thus is an easy surface to maintain & clean. We have a handheld shower on the side of ours and wash it with water keeping it clean is simple.

30 Year Guarantee

Both Bette and Kaldewei baths have 30 year guarantees, while we don’t know anyone that has actually had one for 30 years, we think its fair to say your bath is going to go for longer than your desire for your next bathroom renovation.
