freestanding bathtubs

Freestanding bathtub for your bathroom

A freestanding bathtub is an eye-catcher in any bathroom - no question about it. It often forms the focal point of the room and invites you to spend relaxing time out in the warm water. Today, there are numerous bathtub variants that fit perfectly into the various bathroom designs. In the past, it was commonplace to find a freestanding bathtub in homes. After finding less and less consideration in bathroom design in recent years, the trend of the freestanding bathtub is returning to bathrooms. The classic model of the time, however, has become rarer, although this is still anchored in the hearts of people as a nostalgic product. The trend of the free-standing tub goes rather to the Eck-Badewanne or a larger Oval-Badewanne, than it was in former times the case. In some cases, one no longer knows where the freestanding bathtub ends and where the whirlpool begins, so large have some of the product dimensions become. Today, people see the former classic partly already as a luxury object. Extravagant shapes, unusual designs, sophisticated extras: the freestanding bathtub has changed, from a classic to a real eye-catcher for your bathroom!

Which freestanding bathtub makes sense for my bathroom?

Freestanding or semi freestanding? Today, the choice of freestanding bathtubs is wide. For a special effect of the tub, it is important to plan enough space for it. Thus, the guideline is a distance of about 60 cm between the tub and the wall. In addition, if the water pipes do not run into the floor, it makes sense to place the freestanding bathtub with a short side to the direction of the wall. So, in theory, the faucets can also be attached to it. Once these two points have been made clear and the decision to buy a freestanding bathtub has been made, many are spoiled for choice. After all, not all bathtubs are the same. Today, the choice is greater than ever - and before making a decision, many questions arise:

How big should the bathtub be?
Should it rather be an oval bathtub or a corner bathtub?
Do I need a bathtub with or without overflow?
Do I prefer a classic style or should the bathtub be characterized by a timeless modernity?
Should the bathtub in the room have a whirlpool function?
Which fittings are important to me for my freestanding bathtub?
What material should the bathtub be made of?

Freestanding bathtub - what to consider?

You have decided to include a freestanding bathtub in your bathroom? Then you have already successfully completed the step of choosing the type of bathtub. Now you need to find the right shape of the freestanding bathtub. Oval or square, the offer is diverse. Make sure that the shape of the bathtub is coherent with the other sanitary fixtures. For example, if the toilet is angular, the freestanding bathtub should also represent this shape if possible, so as not to make too big stylistic leaps. The next step is to decide how you want to place your new freestanding bathtub.

Faucets for the bathtubs

If you plan to place the bath in the center or completely freestanding in the room, the only choice would be the freestanding bath mixer. In this case, make sure that in the planning you also have the necessary flush-mounted body of the faucet placed in the screed. If the freestanding bathtub comes closer to the wall, of course, you can go for a freestanding faucet, but you can certainly go for wall-mounted bath mixers, if they are accessible from the tub. Depending on the construction situation, perhaps you want to tile a shelf to the tub, for example, a tile or tub edge faucet would also be conceivable. Meanwhile, by the way, manufacturers also offer bathtubs that have a freestanding appearance, but are not free-standing.

The material for the freestanding bathtub

The material of the tub also often plays an important role in the choice of the tub. Steel enamel, solid surface, Quaryl and sanitary acrylic are typical materials used for in-room bathtubs. Steel enamel is a particularly strong material due to the combination of steel and glass, which makes it ideal for freestanding bathtubs. The combination of the two materials ensures that the strength and stability of steel come into play, while at the same time the resistance of the glass stands out. Solid surface material is easy to shape and, in contrast to steel enamel, is very light. At the same time it convinces with a matt, polished surface and feels soft and warm. Quaryl is a combination of quartz stone and sanitary acrylic. This makes Quaryl products particularly impact-resistant and scratch-resistant. Sanitary acrylic is based on a thermoplastic material that is lighter than steel enamel and is very easy to shape. It has a smooth surface and is considered slip-resistant.

How to fix a freestanding bathtub?

With the freestanding bathtub is absolutely necessary to consider in advance appropriate drainage in the floor. Unlike the installation of built-in bathtubs, here there is less room for maneuver. The inflow of the bathtub, depending on the positioning, you can ensure through the drain and overflow set, a source inlet or, however, with a freestanding bathtub faucet. Of course, as already mentioned in the point selection of the bathtub, other ways of filling the tub are conceivable.

What is a freestanding whirlpool bathtub?

A freestanding whirlpool bathtub is a bathtub with whirlpool function, where the water is drained after the bath. In this case, the massage effect is less than in a classic whirlpool bath. A whirlpool bathtub can usually seat two people, while a classic whirlpool can seat more.
