The tub faucet is one of the most important accessories for complement a freestanding bathtub, so it’s important to get it right in terms of look, feel and useability. The wall-mounted style of tub faucet is perfect for homeowners looking to maintain a clean, minimalist aesthetic with their freestanding tub. This type of faucet is installed directly on the wall next to the tub, with all of the plumbing lines hidden behind the drywall, so there are no visible pipes or hardware interrupting the smooth lines of the freestanding tub. A majority of wall-mounted tub faucets also have an extended spout which will reach the center of the tub while you are filling it with water so that there won’t be any water splashing on the floor around the bath.
If your existing plumbing in the bathroom is installed under the floor, or if you do not want to install holes into tiled walls, then free standing faucets work very well as an alternative choice. Free standing faucets are floor-mounted and connect to the bathtub with no break in their surfaces, so they will create a beautiful work of art in the bathroom area as a stand-alone piece. In addition, most free standing faucet models include separate detachable hand-held showers so that you can easily clean the bathtub after it is used or bathe small children in the tub without having to get into the tub yourself.
