How Freestanding Baths Are Changing the Way Bathrooms Are Built


So, what is the difference between a freestanding bathtub and a built-in tub? When it comes to bathing, there are really two basic kinds to think about: a freestanding bathtub, typically installed in an awkward alcove with no walls on all three sides, or a freestanding bathtub, which gives you far more options in terms of where it is placed in the room. A bathroom, of course, would be the ideal place for both. A built-in tub can easily be hidden away, while a freestanding bathtub would be less likely to blend into the background.


Freestanding baths have a higher degree of style than built-ins because they are not limited to being indoors. Of course, they are typically made out of porcelain or some other highly-glossed material, but even these materials come in a variety of colors. They do not have to be white. You can find them in vibrant blues, greens, browns, tans, and even gold! You can even find them in metal finishes, such as silver or chrome. The possibilities really are endless.

Freestanding baths are great for families, too. Because they take up less room, you have more floor space to play with, meaning you can fit more people in a smaller area. Built-in tubs are notorious for taking up too much space and often force you to make room in your bathroom for other fixtures, such as a medicine cabinet. This means that if you have more than one person in your household, you may have to get a second bathroom or rent an extra room to accommodate the freestanding bath.

One of the major advantages of a freestanding bath is the style. Most are contemporary, featuring either a curved shape or a unique block design that incorporates both tub and shower panels into the same piece of furniture. This allows for a plethora of options when it comes to styling the bathroom. You don’t have to stick to the standard white, black, and tan colors. Instead, you can choose a design that is uniquely yours. If you have a personality you want to show off, that’s just what you do – in the privacy of your own bathroom.

There are also several different types of tubs you can use in these bathrooms. Walk-in tubs offer a more contemporary feel, while bathtubs offer a relaxing soak. Walk-ins often have seats so you can lay back and relax with a book, magazine, or newspaper. Some bathtubs even have cabinets under the seats, allowing you to store linens and shampoos while you are bathing. You will also find some tubs with built-in saunas, giving you a quick and easy way to stay warm during the cooler spring and summer months.

Freestanding baths are designed for more than just bathing. When they were first designed, they were built to be used as a type of hot tub, soaking in the heated water and relaxing from the steam. But as time has progressed, the industry has come up with some great-looking additions to the original style statement. Some modern bathrooms incorporate the tub into an enclosed room, creating a high-end spa type of feel. With all the modern conveniences of home, you can enjoy the benefits of a heated towel rack, whirlpools, jets, and more.

Freestanding baths provide a high-end spa type of feel for those who value their bathing experience. Bathtubs can make soaking in your heated water a relaxing and comfortable experience. Not only does the bathtub give you the ultimate in relaxation, but you also have the option of making it the centerpiece of a room by adding accessories to turn your simple, basic tub into a luxurious room with extra comfort and features.

A new trend in bathroom design is to include freestanding bathtubs, often with built-in whirlpools and jetted water systems. These bathtubs are available in a wide selection of colors and materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, and classic porcelain. Some companies even offer custom made versions of these baths, giving you the perfect look and feel for your bathroom. By incorporating a freestanding bath into your design, you will gain a sense of pride in your home. When guests visit, they will notice the beauty and character of your personal sanctuary.
