Freestanding taps offer unique features and benefits tailored to modern bathroom designs. As these taps are directly installed on the floor, they can be placed near the freestanding bathtub without having to take into consideration the deck or wall requirements and accessibility. Each piece has a circular base plate that mounts the tap by supporting its weight and distributing it evenly to prevent a wobbly surface which can in turn affect the workability of the tap. The standalone structures allow for easy installation and removal, making them a versatile option for both new construction and bathroom renovations.

Tap Holes and Outlets

Tap holes refer to the number of holes drilled to accommodate the installation. Mono tap hole features one opening that accommodates a monobloc style, typically offering a single handle for hot and cold-water control. Gold freestanding bath taps with dual tap holes are found in more traditional configurations with separate tap holes that accommodate individual hot or cold-water taps, allowing users to control the temperature and flow of water independently.

A single outlet brass freestanding bath tap features a single source that allows water flow to fill the bathtub. These taps typically have a mono lever or knob to control the flow and temperature of water. Dual outlet taps offer independent controls for hot and cold water with separate handles that allow maximum efficiency in use. Handles and spouts are determining factors that mark the aesthetics of the product. While modern designs offer round lever handles with slightly curved spouts, traditional taps have crosshead and white lever styles with wide spout structures. Both offer a comfortable grip and make your everyday chores more manageable and convenient with glitch-free water flow. 

Freestanding Taps with Shower Attachment

Breezing your daily routine, freestanding bath taps with showers combine a tap with a handheld shower head attachment and are commonly used in bathrooms for freestanding bathtubs where a wall-mounted shower setup may not be feasible. Offered in both traditional and modern structures, these sets often feature a tall vertical mixture tap that extends above the bathtub rim, along with a hand shower with a flexible hose and holder. Its main functionality is to provide a two-in-one option for showering options and filling bathtubs where users can conveniently switch between filling the tub and using the handheld shower head for rinsing or bathing.

These freestanding taps with shower attachments are constructed from high-quality brass material, devised with advanced properties including a ceramic disc cartridge that prevents leaks while allowing smooth water flow, eliminating the risks of malfunctions and glitches. Temperature is controlled manually that allows users to conveniently balance the hot and cold water flow without interrupting the water flow. Installing floor mounted taps with attachments may require specific plumbing arrangements, particularly if the bathtub does not already have provisions for a freestanding tap. Proper installation is also essential to ensure the fixture functions correctly and does not leak.

Antique Brass and Brushed Brass Finishes

To ensure homeowners get more than one diversity for a gold look, Gold Bathroom UK provides two stunning finishes to complete the look of your selection of freestanding bath taps with shower.

Brushed Finish: This finish is achieved by brushing the surface of the base metal with fine abrasives to create a soft, matte texture and subtle linear grain patterns. It typically has a smooth, satin-like appearance with a muted sheen, rather than a high-gloss shine, and is less reflective than polished or antique finishes. Compared to antique brass, a brushed finish has a lighter and brighter tone and is excellent for concealing stains, water spots, and fingerprints.

Antique Finish: With this finish, the taps get a more aged look with a vintage-like appearance and feature a warmer tone.

The antique and brushed brass freestanding bath tap selection can be enhanced in practicality and usability by pairing the fitting with a bath waste. Bath wastes and overflows are excellent solutions that add to the water-draining quality of your space, enabling a relaxing routine any day. Popular in the click clack design, the addition prevents debris, hair, soap scum, and the likewise from entering the plumbing system by tightly covering the drain outlet, preventing clogs that can damage the pipes. It also eliminates the risk of unwanted drain odour and gases from entering your home via the drain outlet, maintaining a neat, cosy ambience any day!
