Fluted Bathtubs
Fluted Baths That Combine Texture, Elegance, and Architectural Impact
Fluted bathtubs bring sculptural beauty and tactile detail to the heart of your bathroom.
With their signature vertical grooves and softly contoured forms, these bathtubs create rhythm, contrast, and timeless appeal in any bathroom renovation.
Whether you're building a minimalist retreat, a heritage-inspired ensuite, or a modern statement bathroom, Buildmat's collection of high-quality fluted baths blends visual texture with ergonomic comfort.
Available in a range of profiles, sizes, and finishes, each one is designed to pair effortlessly with Buildmat's tapware and bathroom accessories for a cohesive, curated look.
Design & Placement Options
Freestanding Bath: A centrepiece that demands space to breathe. Position away from walls to showcase the full fluted exterior, ideally under pendant lighting or in front of feature windows. Pair with floor-mounted mixers for a sculptural, gallery-like composition.
Back-to-Wall Bath: Offers the aesthetic of a freestanding bath with the added practicality of wall proximity. Perfect for tighter layouts or family bathrooms. Use wall-mounted mixers and nearby niches to complete the look.
Corner Bath: While less common, fluted baths can still work in corners when space allows. The textural front creates depth and interest, while wall-side placement helps maximise usable room.
Styles & Profiles
Oval Fluted: Soft curves and vertical grooves work together to create gentle movement, ideal for adding texture to minimalist spaces.
Rectangular Fluted: A bold, geometric shape with linear detail that reinforces symmetry in modern bathrooms.
Materials & Finishes
Solid Surface (Cast Stone): The perfect medium for fluting. Matte-finished solid surface baths hold the groove detail beautifully and retain heat for long, indulgent soaks.
Acrylic: Lightweight and easier to install, yet still able to capture subtle textural depth. Acrylic baths are available in soft and matte white finishes to suit various palettes.
Coordination & Accessories
Complete the space with accessories designed to enhance both function and flow around your bath:
-
Tapware and Sink Mixers: Floor-mounted wall mixers in brushed gold, gunmetal, or matte black add height and contrast to fluted designs.
-
Towel Rails & Robe Hooks: Install nearby for easy access, choose warm-toned metals to echo the bath's sculptural vibe.
-
Vanities & Storage: Pair fluted baths with smooth-front timber vanities, ribbed joinery, or arch mirrors for complementary textures.
-
Flooring: Contrast with large-format tiles, like travertine tiles, or natural stone to let the fluted profile take centre stage.
Designed to Make an Impression
Buildmat's fluted bathtubs are made for bathrooms that blend architecture with comfort. Every groove, curve, and contour is crafted to elevate the everyday soak into a design moment.
Whether your space is minimalist, classic, or contemporary, a fluted bath brings texture, form, and undeniable presence.
