Freestanding Bathtubs For The Modern Home

Your bathtub says as much about you as the rest of your home’s décor.  That is why when people choose a tub they look at several different types and models before they make a final decision on one.  Most of the time, the decision is based on the purpose and the affordability of the bathtub.  After all, bathing is more about the environment than it is just getting clean these days.  One great option for creating the bathroom that suits your personality as well as your dreams is to look into freestanding bathtubs.


This option has become very popular in the past few years, and that popularity continues to grow.  This has much to do with the fact that bathing is a more water efficient choice than showering.Most of this style of tub has a few options like clawfoot, pedestal, square, symmetrical, rectangular and oval.  The Oriental style type sits on a cradle stand.  There are also Swedish style and slipper style bathtubs that stand alone.  Freestanding in this case means it is not built-in to the wall or wall unit.  The Swedish, Oriental and Slipper style tubs are typically deep soak tubs for great relaxation.  The Victorian style claw foot tub is the most commonly visualized when you think of freestanding bathtubs, but they also come in other styles as mentioned above and some even built for two which is called the Bateau.

Keep in mind when you are remodeling your bathroom that the bathtub is going to be the biggest investment you make so you want it to be the one you really want.  They still require plumbing which is just done a little differently than with built-in tubs.Some of the most modern bathrooms use the freestanding style tub that is usually crafted from materials like cast iron, acrylic and porcelain.  The Victorian claw foot or ball foot tubs still look like the old vintage tubs of yore, but they have been updated a bit.  There are a variety of faucet and fixture styles from which to choose for matching the freestanding style bathtub.

Today, freestanding bathtubs of all styles are geared more toward creating a home spa along with the appropriate toilet and bathroom furniture to go with it.  Many can even include features like whirlpool, iPod connectivity and mood lighting.  The Neptune freestanding soaking tub is one example of a modern tub in this style.Choosing the tub for your bathroom depends on the kind of atmosphere you choose to create in your bathroom.   Most people want to relax in the tub after a stressful day, so relaxation is the biggest reason for choosing freestanding bathtubs for soaking.  You can find wholesale selections in various models of these types of tubs.

Do You Know How to Install a Bathtub?

By Christopher W Smith
Even when you've chosen a "lightweight" fiberglass or acrylic bathtub, installing it is going to be a heavy job. There are two basic types of bathtubs you can install: a traditional framed bathtub or a freestanding bathtub such as a claw foot tub.

If you are replacing a framed tub, you'll most likely need to put another framed tub in its place, because a claw foot tub won't fit into the same space a framed tub did. Measure your space carefully, and then make your decision and buy your tub.
