Using Freestanding Bathtubs To Give Your Bathroom A Different Look
There are a wide variety of different bathtub styles available besides the standard one that is usually installed by homeowners. One option that is gaining in popularity is freestanding bathtubs. Some of the available tubs of this type have a bit of an old fashioned look, such as the claw foot tubs that are found in many old houses. However, there are many other styles available with a more modern look. You can find freestanding bathtubs made out of acrylic, cast iron, copper, resin and stone. Some have pedestals or sit in stands, and others just sit directly on the floor. Many of these tubs have no faucet drillings and must be used with freestanding tub fillers or wall mounted faucets.
Vintage Tub & Bath sells a number of freestanding bathtubs made with acrylic or cast iron coated in porcelain for between $1,340 for the 60 Inch Double Ended Pedestal Bath Tub by Randolph Morris (with 7 Inch Rim Drillings or with No Faucet Drillings) and $4,860 for the 72 Inch Kohler Vintage Double Ended Skirted Bathtub with No Faucet Drillings. These tubs are some of the most reasonably priced freestanding bathtubs available. They range in size from 54 inches to 75 inches in length. They are also some of the tubs that will look the most like standard bathtubs, although they are available in a variety of different shapes and styles.
Copper freestanding bathtubs come in many different shapes and sizes. Signature Hardware has a wide selection, including Japanese soaking baths (including circular, square, rectangular, and hexagonal shapes), slipper and double slipper baths, and baths with beautiful wrought iron stands. These freestanding bathtubs range in price from $1.995.95 for the simplest Copper Double Slipper Tub with Nickel Lining to $7,889.95 for the 72" Riley Double Wall Hexagon Copper Soaking Tub.
One of the most expensive and hardest to find options for freestanding bathtubs is the stone tub. However, Signature Hardware has a number of these tubs for sale from between $8,985 for the 60" Augustus Chiseled Stone Tub and $11,730 for the 68" Trajan Carrara Marble Tub on Plinth. They range in size from 60 to 75 inches in length and are made of marble or granite. These are freestanding bathtubs for those who really want to make a statement with their bathrooms and have plenty of money to spare.
