Choosing the right bathtub is a crucial decision that needs to be made while upgrading your bathroom. Bathtubs have developed into statement pieces that improve the beauty and comfort of your bathroom as a whole. They are no longer merely useful fixtures. You'll come across built-in and freestanding bathtubs, which are both common choices. Let’s learn more about each of these tub styles.
Freestanding baths are frequently regarded as the height of elegance and fashion. They serve as the focal point of your bathroom and make a strong design statement by themselves. They come in a variety of shapes, materials, and finishes. Freestanding bathtubs are distinguished by their lack of attachment to walls. You now have more placement freedom thanks to this. They can be placed against a wall for a more conventional appearance, in the middle of the room for a dramatic effect, or close to a window for a lovely perspective.
Since there are no tight corners or crevices where dirt and grime might collect, cleaning the area around and underneath a freestanding tub is usually simpler. By doing this, you can maintain the cleanliness of your bathroom with less time and effort. Freestanding bathtubs can be found in a variety of materials, such as stone, copper, cast iron, and acrylic. You can select the material that best suits your interests because each material has distinctive properties ranging from heat retention to durability.
Built-in bathtubs provide a seamless and coordinated appearance because they are integrated into the bathroom design. They are frequently enclosed in matching bathroom-themed tiles or a bathtub enclosure. Built-in bathtubs are a great option if you need to maximize space or have a small bathroom. They leave more room on the floor for other bathroom fixtures and accessories because they fit closely to the walls. Built-in bathtubs are a sensible option for homeowners on a budget because they are typically less expensive than freestanding baths.
