Shopping Guide: How to choose your freestanding tub

Freestanding bathtubs have become increasingly popular. Modern and luxurious, they add impact to any bathroom decor […]

Single backrest

A classic and traditional choice that includes one inclined end to support your back, while the other end is reserved for the faucet and drain.

MAAX Freestanding Single Slipper Bathtup

Elevated single backrest

This style, similar to the single backrest, has an elevated backrest structure that offers additional comfort.

Double backrest

With the faucet and drain in the center of the bathtub side wall, both ends may be used as a backrest.

MAAX Double Slipper Freestanding Bathtub

Elevated double backrest

Just like the double backrest style, both ends may be used as a backrest. For this style, however, the ends are elevated which provides additional space and maximum comfort.

Pedestal

Set upon a pedestal, this bathtub offers a modern and trendy look.

With feet

The feet of the bathtub offer a traditional and luxurious look.

Corner or wall-adjacent

Some freestanding bathtubs are designed to fit into a corner of the room or against a wall.

Faucet on the edge of the bathtub

The most affordable option, this type of faucet is easy to install and it makes plumbing easily accessible afterwards. However, this type of faucet may not be installed on one-piece models.

Self-supporting

The most expensive option, this type of faucet takes up the most floor space in your bathroom, but also creates the most appealing look. It is possible to incorporate a surface for storage space that will integrate nicely with your bathroom decor.

Wall-mounted

An ideal choice when space is limited; however, the bathtub needs to be close to the wall to ensure the water stream will fall directly into the bathtub. This option is particularly convenient if the plumbing has already been installed in this location for an alcove or corner bathtub.
