Over the years, freestanding bathtubs have become more and more popular. Once considered a privilege that only the rich and celebrities could afford, these gorgeous bathtubs are now more common than ever, and more models are now available than ever. Luxurious and modern freestanding bathtubs add personality to any bathroom design. Both relaxing designs are designed to allow you to enjoy your leisure time. They are... well... freestanding. But what does a free-standing bathtub look like?
The basic shape of a free-standing bathtub is rectangular, usually accompanied by a "U"-shaped section extending from the corner of the bathtub to the floor. The "U" shape design is very important to the overall appearance of the bathroom because it integrates the bathtub with the surrounding environment. Most modern bathrooms combine this shape with stylish modern lines.
If you're going for the classic look, consider a freestanding bathtub that has a deep corner incorporated into the design. With a solid surface on one side and the drain on the other, this corner tub can look stunning. Solid surface types are generally constructed of acrylic or polycarbonate, and come in a wide variety of styles. Acrylic freestanding tubs are lightweight and inexpensive, while polycarbonate is heavy and expensive.
If you prefer a more decorative appearance, you can consider using a free-standing sink. As the name suggests, this bathtub style is very eye-catching and adds many features to your bathroom. These bathtubs are made of cast iron and come in a variety of finishes, from natural stone to stainless steel. They are the perfect complement to a formal bathroom or master room. Many modern master bathrooms have free-standing sinks.
Another type of freestanding tub is the tile design. A tiled floor will create a very plain look, but it doesn't have to. Use a tiling filler to give the tiled floor some personality. Look for products with a glazed finish and high-gloss UV paint protection if you want the worst of tile to stay on.
When choosing a tile product for your flooring, pick something that won't peel easily. Tile is typically grouted so it must be properly sealed. There are several types of tiles to choose from, including ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite, limestone, glass, and ceramic tile. All of these materials can be used to create the complex patterns and designs that you find on a tile floor. And many homeowners find that freestanding tubs provide the perfect backsplash or vanity area for their bathroom.
Most homeowners agree that a freestanding bathtub is a great way to add beauty to a small bathroom. These bathtubs are also easy to take care of and will remain in good condition for years to come. Shop around and make sure to choose the right size bathtub for your space. Once you find a bathtub that fits your space, you will love the extra comfort it brings.
When picking a tub filler, make sure it will work with the type of plumbing you have currently installed. If you don't have a pipe leading to your faucet, you will need a different style of filler. And if your current faucet is a pull-down design, you will need to buy a different style of pull-down faucet. If you already have a bathtub and are thinking about replacing it with a new one, talk to a professional to find out how much of a difference a faucet replacement might make.
Although they aren't as common as they used to be, there are now several companies that offer freestanding soaker tubs in sizes up to 67 inches. The largest version is usually available from home improvement stores and another bath retailer for around $1500. And the average size of a freestanding spa is only around 35 inches in length.
The last option is a combination of fiberglass soak and shower. It has the appearance of a free-standing bathtub, but it can also double as a shower room. Fiberglass is strong, durable, and easy to clean and maintain. You can find these types of soaking bathtubs at most home improvement retailers.
