{"product_id":"bc-designs-boat-bath-1500mm-freestanding-copper-finish","title":"BC Designs Boat Bath 1500mm Freestanding | Copper Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are baths, and then there is the BC Designs Copper Boat Bath. Handcrafted with a copper outer and copper inner, this 1500mm roll-top freestanding bath is as much a work of art as it is a place to bathe. Copper's natural heat retention keeps water warmer for significantly longer than acrylic or cast iron, and the material's inherent antimicrobial properties are a genuine practical benefit. The polished plinth creates the signature BC Designs floating effect, and the central waste position gives flexibility for tap placement. Waste and taps sold separately.
