Associated with luxury bathing salons, free-standing bathtubs are becoming more and more affordable, which translates into their growing availability and popularity. A natural, functional and visual complement to every free-standing bathtub is a free-standing bathtub faucet. This is a bathtub faucet mounted in the floor. Due to its considerable height and unusual installation method, it attracts attention with the same effectiveness as a spacious free-standing bathtub. Free-standing bathtub faucets in many designer versions are waiting for you at the Onninen wholesaler. You will certainly be able to find a model that perfectly matches the design of the bathtub, bathroom decor, the specific nature of the water installation and your budget. Where to start looking for this type of bathtub faucets? It's the easiest way with our guide! Here we advise you what to consider when choosing freestanding bathtub faucets.

What kind of interior will a free-standing bathtub faucet best fit into?
Although the choice of bathtub fittings is not limited only to aesthetic issues, the appearance of the device is undoubtedly important. A free-standing bathtub faucet should be in stylish harmony with the bathtub and the overall bathroom decor. Both bathtub faucets and free-standing bathtubs are now available in so many designs that no one should have a problem arranging their dream bathing zone. The free-standing bathtub faucet fits both a modern bathing salon and bathrooms decorated in a classic, loft, retro or glamorous style. What matters is the design of the selected fittings model and the way it is integrated into the space.
How to choose the style of a free-standing bathtub faucet?
A free-standing bathtub with an oval or irregular, streamlined shape and supported by decorative legs will look great in combination with an impressively finished, expressive free-standing tap, e.g. an exclusive retro-style model in gold. However, the model faucet for a free-standing geometric bathtub in modern interiors is a simple, minimalist, slim model, devoid of decorations. In turn, for those who prefer subdued elegance in the bathroom, a classic, single-lever bathtub faucet with a chrome finish will be perfect. Are you decorating your bathroom in a loft style? Pay attention to free-standing bath taps in black, white or graphite.
How to properly connect a free-standing faucet to water?
The decision to purchase a free-standing bathtub faucet is best made at the initial stage of bathroom renovation. This type of bathtub fittings is installed in the floor, so in older buildings it may be necessary to modernize the entire installation. If you are not planning major renovations, before you buy a free-standing faucet, be sure to check the technical conditions or commission it to a company specializing in bathroom renovations. To connect a free-standing model to the water, connect the connections close to the intended location of the fittings and make the appropriate connections. Interestingly, modern free-standing faucets can be installed much easier than, for example, wall-mounted, concealed bath faucets. They also allow you to avoid chipping away at the walls.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's guidelines included in the documents attached to the product, including the warranty terms, when installing and using a free-standing bathtub faucet (and 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 free-standing faucet to the water, contact a specialist immediately.
How high should a free-standing bathtub faucet be?
When purchasing a floor bathtub faucet, you should pay attention to several 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 zone. However, the height of free-standing bathtub models usually ranges around 90-100 cm.
The length of the spout should be adapted to the specific bathtub model. In our wholesale store you will find free-standing bathtub faucets with spouts ranging in length from 161 mm to 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 properly profiled and equipped with an aerator. This element softens the water, which prevents it from splashing outside the bowl.
Does a free-standing bathtub tap have to be placed in the middle?
Of course it doesn't have to be! The free-standing bathtub faucet can be installed halfway along the length of 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 individual preferences of the investor and his 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 the water does not escape beyond the bowl) and the comfort of using the bathtub and fittings. A free-standing faucet cannot interfere with entering and leaving the bathtub, and the shower , the switch and the mixer, thermostat or knobs should be within your reach.
In the world of bathroom design, there is a rule that the central location of a free-standing faucet favors its clear exposure. If you prefer a free-standing bathtub to play the main role in the arrangement, consider installing the fittings on the floor on the side of the bathtub. A free-standing faucet should not be located directly behind the backrest of the bathtub - after all, that's where you will rest your back. Some models of free-standing bathtubs are shaped in such a way that you immediately know what position you will take while bathing.
