Freestanding soaker tub advice

11 years ago

I'm seeking advice in choosing between MTI or Victoria + Albert freestanding soaker tubs. They both have beautiful designs that I love (Elise 1 or 4 vs Barcelona). I'm told MTI tubs are made of engineered solid stone and the V & A are made of volcanic limestone material... Not sure which is better. MTI's are slightly larger which I prefer but also have a higher price tag. Any advice would be appreciated!

We purchased a Victoria + Albert free standing tub and love it. It was really light and easy to get up to our second floor and it has a beautiful, matte finish that works well with the marble floor.

I've sat in the V&A Barcelona and liked it... No one around me carries the MTI Elise style that I like. But I was researching something a bit bigger than the Barcelona and came across MTI. It's really only 3" wider/longer/deeper than the V&A, so not a huge difference.

Is there a difference as to what cleaning materials can be used on both of these tubs?

Do these tubs keep the water warmer longer than other tubs?

We just purchased the MTI Elise and absolutely love it. The stone surface is soft and cleanable and it definitely keeps the water warm - we filled it up to test it and several hours later the water was still HOT! Love the brand and love the material. Its our second MTI. I will say that we purchased the 72 inch model and while its great for soaking with two people, there's no place to rest your feet or prevent from slipping when its just one person soaking. I am going to contact MTI for a solution to this.
