How to Choose Your Freestanding Tub

Freestanding bathtubs have become increasingly popular.

At one time considered a luxury that was reserved for the rich and famous, these bathtubs are now more accessible than ever, with models available for all tastes and budgets.

Modern and luxurious, freestanding bathtubs add impact to any bathroom decor, and with comfortable designs made to be appreciated at your leisure, they are also a great source of relaxation.

If you’re thinking updating your bathroom space with a freestanding tub we just wanted to share with you a few tips and of

course, think of VW Gallerie at V&W Supply Company! We have several brands of tubs for all tastes.

Type of Tub

You have the choice between two types of models for your freestanding bath: a one-piece model or a two-piece model.

One-piece models are, as the name indicates, made in only one piece.

Two-piece models consist of a skirt and a tub that are inserted into one another to create the bathtub.

The skirts are the more luxurious of the two pieces, and can offer a variety of options in terms of shapes.

Materials

The manufacturing materials impact the style, as well as the ease of installation and functionality, of your bathtub.

There are many materials to choose from such as acrylic, stone, cast iron, copper and solid surface.

You will make a choice based on your budget and personal taste.

The Shape of the Tub

Do you prefer an oval or rectangular bathtub?

The shape of your bathtub needs to match the style of your bathroom in order to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Bathtub shapes can be transitional, traditional or contemporary; the bathtubs below will provide you with a good idea of what each style has to offer.

The Faucet

All that is left for you to consider is the type of faucet you would like to add to your bathtub.

Whether it is on the edge of the bathtub, self-supporting (on the ground) or set into the wall, this is an important detail that should not be overlooked.

The style of faucet you choose can really change the look of your bathtub and have a major impact on your bathing experience.
