Badeloft sells freestanding baths in stone resin, which it describes as a marble and limestone composite bound in resin. Alternatives in a similar composite include Aquatica, Kohler Lithocast and Victoria + Albert. For natural stone itself, a carved solid stone tub is the alternative, at roughly three to seven times the weight of a Badeloft BW-01-L.

What is a Badeloft freestanding bath made of?
Badeloft freestanding baths are made of stone resin. On its BW-01-L page Badeloft calls this a marble and limestone composite bound in resin, cast and then hand buffed to a matte or glossy white finish, with black and gray versions available. Badeloft also states that stone resin is non-porous, does not chip like enamel, and keeps bath water hot noticeably longer than acrylic. Those are the maker's own claims about its material.
The BW range lists 27 freestanding models in US dollars, from the 47.2 in BW-06-S and BW-08-S to the 74.8 in BW-01-XXL. Badeloft also offers free material samples and a 1:1 paper template to check the footprint.

Is a solid stone tub the same as stone resin?
No. Stone resin is stone-based material bound with resin and cast in a mold, while a solid stone tub is carved from one block of natural stone. The first can be reproduced identically in each size; the second is one piece of rock with its own veining.
- Stone resin versus solid stone: a side-by-side comparison.
- Stone versus acrylic: how stone differs from the lightest tubs.
- Cast iron bathtubs: a heavy enameled alternative.
- Stone Forest alternatives: other makers of carved stone tubs.
Solid stone sits in a different price tier. US sellers publish solid stone tubs at about $7,930–$37,000 as of October 2026 (see marble tub cost), against $3,290–$3,890 for Badeloft's BW range.
How much heavier is a solid stone tub than a Badeloft?
A solid stone tub weighs about 1,100–2,500 lb empty, against 341 lb for the Badeloft BW-01-L, so roughly three to seven times as much. A typical 67 x 31 x 22 in oval marble tub with 2.5 in walls is about 1,150 lb empty and about 1,960 lb filled with a 200 lb bather, around 170 psf on its footprint against 40 psf typical residential floor live load.
Even the BW-01-L at 341 lb dry plus 72 gal of water needs a framing check. For stone, the stone tub weight guide gives the figures by material, and a structural engineer should confirm the floor.
Who is a Badeloft bath best for?
Badeloft suits buyers who want a cast stone-resin bath at a published US price, with 27 shapes to choose from, free material samples and a paper template to test the footprint before ordering. The price and weight for the BW-01-L are on its page.
Look elsewhere for natural stone, or for a size outside Badeloft's listed models. A licensed plumber and local code should confirm installation details for any tub.
What does a Pietra Fonte quote include?
Pietra Fonte tubs are made to order from a single block of natural stone. Each piece is specified with the buyer or designer, inspected with photos and video before it ships, and delivered white-glove anywhere in the contiguous US. Every quote gives the exact dimensions and weight of the piece, so the structural conversation can start from real numbers. See the marble, travertine and onyx tub collections, or ask for a sample book. Designers and builders can use the trade page.
