Matte White Freestanding Tubs

Matte white freestanding tubs are made from acrylic or stone resin with a smooth, non-glossy white finish. Matte white freestanding tubs are increasingly popular because they provide a beautifully soft, sculptural look that's more contemporary than regular glossy tubs.

Glossy tubs tend to show scratches and scuffs more easily, while acrylic or resin tubs with a matte finish are less likely to show surface damage over time and are easier to repair if minor scratches do occur. A matte white freestanding tub is also less likely to show fingerprints and smudges compared to a high-gloss tub.

These ultra-contemporary freestanding tubs have a flat matte white surface that provides a modern, elegant look. Matte white freestanding tubs have a softer and more muted aesthetic compared to the shiny, reflective surface of traditional glossy white bathtubs. Matte white freestanding tubs that are popular in contemporary and minimalist modern bathroom designs include:

Matte White Stone Resin Freestanding Tubs

Most solid surface stone resin or poly-resin tubs feature a silk matte finish on both the interior and exterior, which provides a smooth, velvety appearance. The natural, seamless look of a matte white freestanding stone resin bathtub makes it a popular choice for high-end, modern minimalist bathrooms. Additionally, matte finishes are much easier to repair—scratches and blemishes can be sanded and buffed out more easily compared to a resin tub with a glossy gelcoat layer.

Matte White Acrylic Freestanding Tubs

Acrylic sheets can be manufactured with either a glossy or matte finish, though most acrylic sheets are naturally glossy by default. A matte finish is typically created through a specialized manufacturing or surface treatment process. If an acrylic tub has a matte white exterior but a regular glossy interior, it's likely that a matte coating was applied to the exterior surface of the tub after it was formed to achieve a flat, non-reflective appearance.
