Wooden wall panelings are popular with hinoki tubs but we recommend a 10cm protection above water level for easy maintenance.

The bathtub is shipped in one piece and is ready for installation. It should be left on site for at least 24 hours before installation.

The hinoki tub is set in place: it can be fitted in tight or leaving a gap from the perimetral walls. See the FAQs.
