If you still don’t know what a carved vat know that you may have already heard talk with other nomenclatures such as: Hidden, excavated or molded vat.

carved vat
Regarding the models of these vats, they are divided into:
- marble
- Travertine
- straight bottom
- with ramp
- of porcelain
- of granite
- Nanoglass or Marmoglass
- wood
- Silestone
Let’s see more about some models of carved vat
Marble
This is the type that has been used the most, due to the fact that there is a great variation of these stones.
Who opts for this model has the advantage of choosing models according to their style.
Its price is not that attractive, but the number of people who opt for it is increasing.
An important tip when choosing between the different types of marble is to choose those that are less porous as the environment will leave it in contact with water.
Granite
Granite is one of the best known natural stones and has a wide variety of colors.
Most prefer to use it due to its cost, which is much lower than marble.
Granite is ideal for bathroom, kitchen countertops and for any type of environment where there is water handling, as it is very resistant and has little porous.
In the case of carved vats, the most used color is black, as it highlights the environment and is more resistant to stains.
Silestone
For those who are not fond of natural stones, silestone is a very beautiful industrialized version.
This material is special for people with a more modern and cheerful style, as its colors make the bathroom very light, especially if your house is a small bathroom, it ends up being a great cost-benefit to choose this material.
Stone has low water absorption, however, its higher price does not make it the best option.
If you have no problem paying a little more, you can create an original and different decor.
porcelain
Porcelain has been the darling when it comes to carved vat. It has a wide variety of colors and can also be made with a floor.
The stone has an impeccable finish and a lot of shine, but its price has not been an attractive one.
The price of porcelain tiles is equal to the price of marble, which is why many people prefer the second option.
Travertine
This is a type of marble that, despite being beautiful and elegant, does not have many color options.
It is found in beige tones and its types are: Navona, Roman and the national one called Bahia beige marble.
This material is considered fragile compared to granite or synthetic stones and even so it is one of the most expensive on the market.
Carved Cuba Prices
The price of carved vats can vary according to the material, model and size, but as I said earlier, granite is more affordable while marble is more expensive.
You can find porcelain vats close to 700 reais and marble vats close to 900 reais.
