Quick question; I need a 1600 bath which limits my options. (it will be a shower bath)

It must be good quality (not flex, lose inordinate amount of heat etc) and I've been looking for 8mm+ as a result.

However, Carron (which I believe are a good make?) do an offering, but it's at 5mm. I thought that was a crappy thickness? Is it crap, or am I getting hung up on mm thickness rather than make; what else matters?

Thanks 😳

I've got a thermo something or other bath from the bath store.

It's ace, water stays hot for ages

That is delightfully, absolutely no use to me whatsoever!

Cheers though, I'll keep an eye out for that 😀

It is. It's thicker than normal one, therefore it's better.,

Get a thicker one.

5mm is pretty standard. When I was last looking the thicker ones were commercial models aimed at hotels etc. can't recall makes but local builder's merchants could source them.
