Stone baths vs acrylic baths
Why Choose a Stone Bath?
Stone baths are increasingly chosen in Australian homes and architectural projects for their architectural presence, durability and ability to create a calm, spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom. Unlike lighter acrylic alternatives, a stone bath offers visual weight and material authenticity, making it a natural focal point within the space.
Modern material innovation has also expanded what a stone bath can offer. Advanced mineral composites allow the look and tactile quality of stone to be combined with improved practicality — including reduced weight, easier installation and enhanced thermal performance.
A New Benchmark
Why Choose Bellastone?
Bellastone redefines the modern stone bath. Made from a patented mineral composite, it delivers exceptional durability, a soft-touch finish and a lightweight structure.
Designed for contemporary Australian homes and architectural projects, Bellastone offers a more advanced alternative to traditional indoor and outdoor stone baths without compromise.
Extreme Durability
Bellastone is engineered for high impact resistance and long-term use.
Thanks to its patented material and production process, Bellastone resists scratches or chips that would affect traditional stone composite baths under normal use. It provides enhanced resilience, reducing the need for repairs or replacement over time.
This is a stone bath designed for longevity — in both residential and commercial environments.
A Soft, Warm Surface
Unlike natural stone, which can feel cold or porous, Bellastone features a uniquely smooth, velvet-skin finish that feels immediately warm to the touch.
It has a "skin-like" texture that creates a more intimate and comfortable bathing experience. The surface feels warm and inviting, soft beneath your fingertips.
Every bath becomes a moment of genuine comfort
Lightweight Without Compromise
Traditional stone baths are beautiful but are very heavy and often require crane hire and structural floor reinforcement, adding to the project cost. Bellastone provides the same 'Megalithic' aesthetic at a fraction of the weight (50-95kg), simplifying transport, site access and installation.
It makes Bellastone the premier choice for second-storey installations, luxury renovations with access limitations and multi-level residential projects.
Simple, straightforward, done.
Effortless Maintenance
Routine cleaning is simple and minimal.
The non-porous Bellastone material is resistant to common bath products that affect traditional stone surfaces. The surface technology is inherently "self-cleansing"—similar to high-end cookware—meaning it resists soap scum and limescale buildup. You can safely use Epsom salt, essential oils, bath bombs and even hair dye.
Maintenance requires only rinsing with lukewarm water after use and mild cleaning with a soft cloth — no sealing or specialised stone treatments required.
Superior Heat Retention
Engineered with industry-leading heat retention, Bellastone baths are constructed with dual walls and high-density thermal insulation designed to slow heat loss.
This allows water to remain at the perfect temperature for significantly longer, reducing the need to add additional hot water during extended bathing.
Lose yourself in a deep soak without the interruption of adding hot water.
UV Rated for Outdoor Use
Our Bellastone baths have been specifically developed to withstand the elements, meaning they can safely be installed as outdoor baths in full sun.
Bellastone baths are UV rated and weather resistant, making them suitable for outdoor installation in Australian conditions, expanding design possibilities beyond the interior bathroom.
They are the perfect outdoor baths for cooling down in summer or enjoying a hot soak in winter.
