Smooth functionality is the last thing you’ll notice when looking at our massive selection of the bathtub faucet. They look so great and intrigue the imagination. There are scores of different options regarding tub faucet designs, and where you place them, perfectly complementing your bathroom from both logistical and decorative perspectives. Tub faucet designs span the gamut of traditional, transitional and modern/contemporary décor, and come in whole variety of beautiful finishes. One popular, and highly intriguing style is the exposed tub filler or tub filler/handshower set, where the piping is boldly exposed. Most exposed bathtub faucets exude a vintage look, but there are many sleek modern options too.
The standard tub faucet set comes with three pieces: hot and cold water handles and a center spout. However, you can get tub faucets with a single handle, which mixes hot and cold water, and there are also many tub faucet sets with more than three pieces. You can get them with a handshower, so that you can thoroughly clean and massage specific body parts while you bathe, and a diverter handle to alternate between a shower and bath, as opposed to the diverter mechanism being on the spout. If your tub is beneath a shower and wish to use the shower controls for bathing, all you need to get for your tub faucet is a spout, which also comes as part of Tub and Shower Sets.
Installation:
Deck Mount - A deck mount tub faucet sits gracefully atop the decks, or rims, of the bathtubs. They make for a very visible decorative adornment and are pleasantly within reach of the bather. These tub faucets are installed on holes in the tub. For drop in and undermount tubs, deck mount tub faucets can be installed on the tiles atop or alongside the tub as well.
Wall Mount - A wall mount tub faucet is installed in the tub wall or, more often, on the regular bathroom wall atop the bathtub. Wall mount tub filler is the most commonly used option in a combined shower/bath.
Freestanding/Floor Mount - Want to go really bold? A freestanding tub faucet is a lot more than just a control or accessory for your bathtub. It is essentially a prominent piece of furniture of its own. These tub faucets are installed in the floor near the bathtub, and reach straight up well above the rim of the tub. Freestanding tub filler makes an enormous decorative enhancement.
