It was quite the process figuring out which brand tub to go with but we decided to go with Badeloft for a multitude of reasons. The 3 primary reasons are that the tubs are German designed and made, they are made from a stone resin, and the modern look. We had a freestanding tub in our last house which was acrylic and no matter what was done the tub would move if there was no water in it. Badeloft's stone resin is not only beautiful but very heavy which means the tub will NEVER move (problem solved).
We went with the matte white rectangular tub and it is simply incredible. The inside has the form of a body so when my wife takes a bath she doesn't sink into the tub. And, the matte white finish is just beautiful while helping tone down the polished tile floors and walls in our bathroom.
Planning wise, Badeloft has a slew of resources that make everything truly simple. From samples to the ez-drain and the full scale template, it could not have been easier.
Lastly, Tyler helped us from start to finish and always answered every question we had in a prompt manner. He was supportive of our project and helped us with what we needed which was a huge help for us.
As a tip to anyone building, we highly advise adding additional structural support under where you place your tub. As previously mentioned, these tubs are heavy and you don't want your floor joists bowing with the weight of the tub, water, and body.
