Bathtubs: installation and care

The Torino freestanding bathtub and the Torino Muro back-to-wall bathtub are made of seamless acrylic, with waste and overflow included in a central position.

Before installation

  • The floor must be flat and able to carry the full bathtub and its user.
  • Plan the drain under the central waste and access to the waste for maintenance.
  • Plan the taps: floor-standing for a freestanding bathtub, wall-mounted or floor-standing for Torino Muro.
  • Unpack the bathtub on a protected surface and inspect it before installation. Handle it with two people, holding it by the base.

Installation, step by step

  1. Fit the supplied waste and overflow with their seals.
  2. Position the bathtub and check the rim with a spirit level. Pack it if needed, following the instructions.
  3. Connect the waste to the drain with a suitable trap.
  4. Fill the bathtub and check every connection for leaks before any finishing work.
  5. Torino Muro: run a sanitary silicone joint between the back of the bathtub and the wall.
  6. Let the silicone cure for 24 hours before using the bathtub.

Everyday care

  • After bathing, rinse and wipe the bathtub with a soft sponge.
  • Wash with soapy water or a mild detergent.
  • For limescale, use diluted white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly.
  • Light scratches in acrylic can be reduced with an acrylic polish.

What to avoid

  • Scouring powders, abrasive pads and steel wool.
  • Acetone, nail varnish remover, thinners and solvents.
  • Concentrated ammonia-based cleaners.
  • Hot objects and cigarettes placed on the rim.
  • Hair dyes and colourants left on the surface: rinse them off immediately.

Damage caused by solvents, impacts or non-compliant installation is not covered by the warranty.
