Calacatta Viola is a white marble with bold veining in gray and purple tones, and that veining is what gives the tub its character. Carved rather than cast, each tub carries its own pattern, so no two are identical. It measures 34 inches wide, 70 inches long and 26 inches high, and it is polished to a smooth gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eWhite marble, gray and purple veins\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe stone has a white ground crossed by strong, organic veins in shades of gray and purple. Polishing brings the colors forward and gives the surface a sleek finish that catches light along the curves. The tub has an oval profile, carved by hand from one block, with no seams, joints or glued sections. Stone workers hand carve and polish each piece, and small differences in color and finish from one tub to the next are part of that work, not flaws. The oval form and bold stone suit minimal, industrial, traditional and contemporary bathrooms alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGray and purple veining\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold natural veins on a white base, different on every tub.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOval, one block\u003c\/strong\u003e An oval tub carved from a single block, with no seams or glued joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003eA deep tub for long soaks\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eAt 26 inches high, this is a deep tub, and the 70 by 34 inch footprint leaves room for full body immersion. Marble holds heat: once the stone has warmed, the bath water stays warm for longer, which makes a long soak more comfortable without frequent topping up. The walls range from 0.75 to 1.25 inches thick, and the tub has a 1.5 inch drain hole. Freestanding, it can sit at the center of a primary bathroom or beside a window, where the veining can be seen from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e 34\" W × 70\" L × 26\" H, polished.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5\" drain hole for a standard drain assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003ch3\u003ePlan support and plumbing\u003c\/h3\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eSolid marble is heavy, and the floor must carry the tub full of water and in use, so a contractor should confirm the structure before delivery. The plumber sets the drain to meet the 1.5 inch opening and plans the supply for a floor mounted tub filler or a wall mounted faucet.

Like all marble it is porous, so acidic cleaners can etch it and spills can stain if they sit. Regular sealing protects the stone, and how often it is resealed depends on use. With care, the marble develops a soft patina over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"stonetiledepot","offers":[{"title":"Polished \/ (W)34\" (L)70\" (H)26\" \/ Marble","offer_id":63521674133644,"sku":"NTRVS216","price":11364.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/5858\/0876\/files\/calacatta-viola-bathtub-carved-from-marble-block-W34-L70-H26-polished-roomscene_700x_0a80e5a0-d601-46a2-b8e3-c21f3c220c22.webp?v=1793197440","url":"https:\/\/gobekusa.com\/products\/calacatta-viola-marble-hand-carved-freestanding-bathtub-34x70-polished","provider":"GobekUSA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
