Good afternoon, they would usually be similar to that of a tiled floor. Unless of course under floor heating is used.

Wow Clodaghdorgan! This is going to be a great discussion ;-) I have used resin and concrete around the world and I have to say in the UK I was the most disappointed with the result. In saying that, the past few years the UK has started to get better quality products and better skilled labour in this department as demand grows. I would trust larger companies and ensure your specification and requirements are very clear. Resin floors are typically used in industrial situations, so it will last and provide other strengthening properties if required. You will get a seamless surface (which most people aren't used to in a home) so in terms of design, that is the thing to be aware of. What questions I would ask myself if I was to specify a resin floor (especially in white) are: 1. Is a white continuous surface going to give me the specific look and feel that I want in my home? 2. Do I want a high gloss finish or a matt one? 3. Can I achieve the look that I want in another (cheaper) way? 4. What is my substrate? 5. What company am I going to trust to deliver this product from start to finish and to whom I can call on for any repairs or maintenance, supply specific cleaners etc. especially if you are planning on getting underfloor heating installed with it. Am I going to get a warranty? (Do not skimp on the company). I have to admit, I am confident to use resin and I love it. It is hygienic, anti-slip, beautiful, modern and flexible. But you are going to get a very specific look. A high gloss or even matt in this case will show up dirt, hair and rolled up balls of I don't know what! But it is easy to clean! The most important things I would suggest once you have dealt with what you are going to lay it on is to ensure that you have specific cleaners that will protect your floor rather than damage it and a UV and stain resistant coating. You will hate your floor forever if you don't! My biggest worry personally would be how I can get an excellent high end result for a cost that I could afford. If you are tossing up between a stone, large format designer porcelain tile or a resin floor, then your costs might actually be quite similar. But if you are looking at a £50 / meter budget, I would expect to triple my cost. When it comes to seeing dirt & scratches, I had a black timber floor once that drove me round the bend, so it can happen with any material including tiles, but as a rule high gloss, lots of light and one single colour typically is a recipe for seeing lots of dirt... But it is beautiful! I hope that helped you! I have attached some pretty pictures (Not mine) that I thought will help you visualise what your floor will look like. I found a high gloss white, matt white, more concrete looking grey, matt grey and a high gloss smokey one just because ;-) I'd love to know what you chose in the end, keep me updated! Jo x

A structural engineer should hopefully be able to put your mind at rest, if the calculations on your floor have been done with this bath and the added weight of the water and bodies in it in mind . If it wasn’t calculated with all this info - I’d be avoiding standing /sitting /sleeping under it !
