How to Choose Your Free Standing Bath

If this is your first time shopping for a freestanding bath, you’ll likely find it a daunting task—one that calls for careful consideration. ACS Designer Bathrooms is committed to excellence, which is why we’ve put together this in-depth buying guide to help you pick the bathtub you’ve always dreamed of.

Factor in the Weight

When shopping for a free standing bath, always keep in mind, they’re usually very heavy, more so if they’re made from cast iron or stone. Don’t simply assume any bathtub will be good for your bathroom—take into account not only its empty weight, but also how heavy it will be when full of water. Too heavy, and your tiled floors will crack under the weight.

Check with a builder or structural engineer to learn more about the structure of your house and the strength of your floor—or, get in touch with the qualified experts at ACS Designer Bathrooms and let us help you!

Consider Available Space

Storage space can get easily overlooked. It’s not just your bathtub that needs to fit in but also all the other necessary ingredients for a relaxing soak. Early planning is very important so take your time. Don’t forget that you’ll have to actually bring it into your home through doorways, around corners, and up the stairs. Measure up carefully to ensure the free standing tub will fit in with sufficient space to move comfortably around it.

Choose Your Style

When it comes to choosing your free standing bathtub, there are many styles you could go for. Whether it’s a traditional rectangular or oval bath, or a shapely contemporary design, a bathtub can add a lot of flair and personality to your bathroom design. If you’re feeling particularly brave, you could choose something really interesting and unexpected, such as a marble tub. If you’re going for a period theme, consider a traditional-style bath that matches your basin and loo.

If you’ve set your heart on cast iron bathtubs then we’ve got great news for you. With so many modern materials to choose from, it’s now possible to mimic the look of cast iron without necessarily having to opt for this heavyweight metal. If you prefer an on-trend bathtub, you’ve got a whole array of designs available to give your bathing space the wow factor.

Get Flexible with Colour

One of the best things about freestanding baths is that you can be flexible with colour. Depending on the type of material you’re going for, you have different options for customising your tub to match your scheme and tie the whole interior design look together. Try a vibrant colour for a bold centrepiece, or a rich, darker hue for a sophisticated appeal. If you want to make a statement, a copper or stone bathtub is sure to become the focal point of your bathroom.

If you need assistance in finding that perfect colour, the team at ACS Designer Bathrooms is always on-hand to help you make a decision. Contact us today to discuss.

Pick a Suitable Position

Decide where in the room your tub will go. If you really want to add to the bathing experience, pick a spot close to a window. If your bathroom has a glass ceiling then why not place the bathtub right under it? You can pamper yourself with a glamorous soak while enjoying the beautiful view.
