Associated with luxurious bathing salons, freestanding bathtubs are becoming more and more affordable, which translates into their growing availability and popularity. A natural - functional and visual complement to any freestanding bathtub is a freestanding bathtub faucet. This is a bathtub faucet mounted in the floor. Due to its considerable height and unusual mounting method, it attracts attention with the same effectiveness as a large freestanding bathtub. Freestanding bathtub faucets in many designer versions are waiting for you at the Onninen wholesaler. You will certainly be able to find a model that is ideally suited to the design of the bathtub, bathroom decor, the specifics of the water installation and the budget you have set. Where to start looking for this type of bathtub faucet? The easiest way is with our guide! In it, we suggest what to consider when choosing freestanding bathtub faucets.

What kind of interior will a freestanding bathtub faucet fit best?
Although the choice of bathtub fittings is not limited to aesthetics, the appearance of the device is undoubtedly important. A freestanding bathtub faucet should harmonize stylishly with the bathtub and the overall bathroom decor. Both bathtub faucets and freestanding bathtubs are currently available in so many designs that no one should have a problem arranging their dream bathing area. A freestanding bathtub faucet fits both a modern bathing salon and bathrooms decorated in a classic, loft, retro or glamour style. The design of the selected fitting model and the way it is incorporated into the space are important.
How to choose the style of a freestanding bathtub faucet?
A freestanding bathtub with an oval or irregular, streamlined shape and supported by decorative legs will look great in a duet with an effectively finished, expressive freestanding tap, e.g. an exclusive retro-style model in gold. On the other hand, the model tap for a freestanding geometric bathtub in modern interiors is a simple, minimalist, slim model, devoid of ornaments. On the other hand, for supporters of subdued elegance in the bathroom, a classic, single-lever bathtub tap with a chrome finish will be ideal. Are you decorating your bathroom in a loft style? Pay attention to freestanding bathtub taps in black, white or graphite.
How to properly connect a free-standing tap to the water?
The decision to buy a freestanding bathtub faucet is best made at the initial stage of a bathroom renovation. This type of bathtub fitting is installed in the floor, so in the case of older buildings it may be necessary to modernize the entire installation. If you do not plan any major renovations, before buying a freestanding faucet be sure to check the technical conditions or commission a company specializing in bathroom renovations. To connect a freestanding model to the water, you need to bring the connections close to the intended location of the fitting and make the appropriate connections. Interestingly, modern freestanding faucets can be installed much easier than, for example, wall-mounted concealed bathtub faucets. They also allow you to avoid chiseling out the walls.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's guidelines in the documents included with the product, including the warranty conditions, when installing and using a freestanding bathtub faucet (or any other). Any information, tips or video tutorials available on the internet should be treated as a guide only. If you have any difficulties connecting a freestanding faucet to the water, contact a specialist immediately.
How high should a freestanding bathtub faucet be?
When buying a floor-standing bathtub faucet, you should pay attention to a few important issues. Many customers ask us about the optimal height of free-standing fittings, but a much more important feature is the length of the spout. This parameter often determines the functionality of the faucet and the entire bathing area. On the other hand, the height of free-standing bathtub models usually ranges around 90-100 cm.
The length of the spout should be adjusted to the specific bathtub model. In our wholesale store you will find freestanding bathtub faucets with spouts from 161 mm to as much as 298 mm. The spout must be long enough for the water stream to fall completely into the bathtub - without visible drops on the edges of the bowl, on the wall or floor. It is worth making sure that the selected faucet model has a spout that is suitably profiled and equipped with an aerator. This element softens the water, which prevents it from splashing outside the bowl.
Does a freestanding bathtub faucet have to be placed in the center?
Of course it doesn't have to! A freestanding bathtub faucet can be installed halfway along the bathtub or on the side - at any point. The installation location should be adapted to the type of bathtub and its location in the bathroom. The investor's individual preferences and their idea for the bathing area are also important. Your imagination is limited only by: the length of the spout in the selected faucet model (it should reach far enough so that water does not escape outside the bowl) and the comfort of using the bathtub and fittings. A freestanding faucet cannot interfere with entering and leaving the bathtub, and the shower, switch and mixer, thermostat or knobs should be within reach of your hand.
In the world of bathroom design, there is a rule that a central location of a freestanding faucet helps to highlight it more clearly. If you prefer the freestanding bathtub to play first fiddle in the arrangement, consider installing the fittings on the floor to the side of the bathtub. A freestanding faucet should not be located directly behind the backrest of the bathtub - after all, that is where you will rest your back. Some models of freestanding bathtubs are contoured in such a way that it is immediately clear what position you will be taking while bathing.
