Free-standing baths are an increasingly common solution in our homes: they are synonymous with luxury, add a unique character to the interior, and create a home SPA corner. Installing them (especially in already functioning bathrooms) requires a bit more work than traditional baths, but it is definitely worth choosing this solution! Furthermore, the range of free-standing baths available on the market is constantly expanding, which means this element is no longer reserved only for owners of large bathrooms. Today, we present the advantages of a free-standing bath!
Free-standing bath - luxury at your fingertips
As mentioned earlier, this type of bath is associated with luxury - a few years ago, they were rarely seen in homes and were much more common in hotels. Nowadays, more and more people choose this solution - why is that? A free-standing bath has many advantages:
- it offers virtually unlimited possibilities for bathroom design
- we can easily match it to the style of our room
- it adds a unique character to each bathroom
- by itself, it is part of the interior decor
- it allows for great comfort of bathing and ease of use
- we can place it practically anywhere
A few years ago, a free-standing bath was a solution that only people with large bathrooms could consider - such a bath required a lot of space. Nowadays, the variety of models allows the installation of such baths even in smaller spaces.
Free-standing baths - great design possibilities
If you want to choose a solution like a free-standing bath, you have virtually unlimited possibilities when it comes to bathroom design and decor! The market offers oval, rectangular, more modern, and retro-style baths on decorative legs: you can easily choose a bath that will be an adornment in the room and add elegance to it.
In smaller bathrooms, free-standing baths placed against the wall work well - in larger rooms, models set in the middle of the bathroom are preferable. In the case of free-standing baths, it is essential to pay attention to the installation - the supply of cold and hot water, as well as the drain, must be placed in the floor (these elements are usually in the wall). Designing a bathroom with a free-standing bath requires proper installation, which is the most important element not to forget.
Advantages and disadvantages of a free-standing bath
We have already presented most advantages - a bathroom with a free-standing bath looks more elegant and luxurious, and this element allows for various arrangements of this room and will surely allow you to fully relax in your home. An additional advantage is that most baths are made of acrylic - this material is warm to the touch and extends the bathing experience, as water cools down more slowly.
One of the few drawbacks of this solution is the aforementioned necessity of proper water installation, which can be problematic in a functioning bathroom, requiring a major renovation. Moreover, such a bath does not have a space for placing cosmetics and bath accessories unlike traditional baths. Additionally, if you decide to install the bath in the middle of the bathroom, you need to choose the right faucet.
A free-standing bath, however, has far more advantages than disadvantages, so it's no surprise that more and more people choose it! Who doesn't like to relax in a warm bath after a long and hard day? In summary, if a bathroom can accommodate such a bath, if its size and layout allow it, then it's worth deciding on it to give yourself a touch of luxury!
