Install Floor Mounted Bath Spouts To Add Style To Your Bathroom
With the rapidly increasing use of separate bathtubs and showers, the need for separate bathtub fillers has also increased significantly. In order to keep their bathtub and the décor of their bathroom functional and organized, homeowners must decide both, the type of bathtub faucet to buy as well as its ultimate placement. Bath spouts are an important component used in bathtubs. These come in different options, including a deck mount, wall mount or floor mount tub filler, and can be chosen as per the needs and design of the bathroom.
Floor mounted bath spouts are mainly used with free standing bathtubs, including claw foot tubs, cast iron soaking tubs, or free standing acrylic or stone baths. These basically consist of two, large pipes that can extend from the floor, and either up and over the rim of the bathtub, or directly into holes that are already drilled in the bathtub to hook up to the faucet. These mostly come with a hand shower, either in a telephone cradle mount on its top or, with a hook to one side. These tub fillers are suitable for traditional as well as modern bathrooms.
The floor mounted bath spouts are mostly mounted at either the lowest end of the bathtub, but in case of large free standing baths, these can also be placed at the back of the bathtub. While installing these spouts, a lot of care must be taken to ensure that it can be reached safely when the user is outside the tub. Prior to installing these fillers, it must be ensured that the bathtub faucet is installed in a proper manner and that the faucet valve is made for long wear. Finding the best suitable tub filler and its placement plays a vital role towards making the bathroom look stylish as well as user friendly. Just like other accessories in the bathroom, a tub filler also adds a hint of elegance and complements the décor of the bathroom, while allowing users to enjoy the soaking or whirlpool tub more than ever.
