Duravit expanded its bathtub solutions for the North American market. The newest additions include freestanding models from Philippe Starck’s Cape Cod and White Tulip collections as well as a freestanding model from Bertrand Lejoly’s D-Neo collection.

When installed at rough-in, it provides simple installation between the P-trap and tub — without needing access from below the floor, Oatey points out. Available in ABS, PVC or cast iron with a plastic or stainless steel flange, this drain is compatible with brass or Schedule 40 tailpieces.

MTI Baths has launched DoloMatte, a true solid-surface material that is smooth to the touch and strong, the company states. DoloMatte begins as a thick, American-made solid-surface slab of specialty polymer blended with ground minerals that is consistent in color and property. 

BainUltra’s newest collection of freestanding baths - the Celestia 6233 soaker tub is the first to be offered in FineStone, the brand’s new high-quality solid surface material comprised of refined minerals and pure liquid acrylic. 

With its soft oval shape and 17" soaking depth, the Studio S Freestanding Soaking Tub from American Standard is the perfect combination of contemporary style and soothing comfort, the company notes.
