Types of Freestanding Bathtub Faucets

Freestanding bathtub faucets are generally floor mounted. The basic types of freestanding bathtub fillers include:

Single handle freestanding bathtub faucets — As the name implies, one handle is used to control the flow of hot and cold water. This style is ideal for those who prefer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic in the bathroom.

Double handle freestanding bathtub faucets — This style features two handles, one for hot water, the other for cold. If you have a more traditional freestanding tub, such as a claw foot tub, a two-handled freestanding tub faucet would look lovely.

Freestanding bathtub faucets with a handheld shower wand — Want the option of showering, or at least rinsing off occasionally? Consider a freestanding bathtub faucet with a handheld shower wand incorporated into the design. 

Freestanding Bathtub Faucet Finishes

Like other bathroom faucets, freestanding bathtub faucets are available in various finishes including:

• Brass — Available in polished or satin finishes, brass bathtub faucets are durable and attractive. Polished brass fixtures fit in nicely in vintage bathrooms while satin brass, which has a matte finish, looks lovely in modern bathrooms.
• Copper — Bold and beautiful, copper bathroom faucets develop a patina over time, giving the room a sense of timelessness and character. Copper bathroom fixtures lend themselves to rooms with an industrial, steampunk, or farmhouse style.
• Nickel — Darker than chrome, but just as durable and easy to maintain, both polished and brushed nickel finishes are attractive choices for freestanding bathtub faucets.
• Oil rubbed bronze — Darkly rich and easy to clean, oil rubbed bronze faucets are an attractive choice that makes a bold statement.
• Chrome — Inexpensive and shiny, what’s not to love about Chrome? Chrome freestanding bathtub faucets are gorgeous, and they go with virtually any style.
• Black — Black bathroom faucets are harder to come by than the more popular finishes such as chrome or nickel. However, they can be a stunning choice.
