Thanks to Finbarr's engineering background and pioneering research into wood coating technology, each bath is intended to become a precious family heirloom - they come with a lifetime guarantee against leakage or structural failure. This coating may be the skeleton on which a driftwood bath is built, but its' beating heart is Finbarrs' love of wood which comes through in every piece they complete. The emphasis is on exposing the intrinsic qualities of the wood while keeping to a modern design ethos. This helps to make each bath a unique design collectible.

Baths can be chosen from their range of designs or, for the more adventurous, you can design your own with the help of their design team. You can also choose from a vast range of woods, native woods from Lisnavagh, or exotics from further afield. The baths also exhibit incredible heat retaining properties, far better than plastic, ceramic, metal or stone. You'll really notice how much longer the water stays warm than with any other type of bath. The baths require no special treatment or care and wipe clean the same as a plastic or ceramic bath. A bath should be a haven from the world and with a wooden bath from Driftwood Baths, it certainly is - a natural woody haven.
