FAQs
What are the main types of freestanding tubs?
The most common types of freestanding tubs include oval, rectangle, corner, clawfoot, slipper, soaking, and double tubs. Each offers unique styles and benefits. Oval and rectangular tubs work well in larger bathrooms while corner and slipper tubs are great space-saving options. Clawfoot tubs provide vintage elegance, and soaking tubs allow you to fully immerse yourself. Double tubs allow two people to bathe together.
What materials are best for freestanding tubs?
Acrylic, enameled cast iron, solid surface materials like Corian, and Vikrell are top choices for freestanding tubs. Acrylic provides insulation to keep water hot but can scratch. Enameled cast iron offers durability but is very heavy. Solid surfaces are easy to clean and maintain but tend to be expensive. Vikrell is lightweight, durable, and affordable.
How much weight can a floor support for a freestanding tub?
The average freestanding tub weighs 100-200 lbs when empty. Filled with water and bathers, it can weigh 1500-3000 lbs depending on capacity. Most modern homes with standard flooring can support this weight, but older homes may need reinforced floors. Consult an engineer to determine your floor’s weight limits.
How much space do you need for a freestanding tub?
The typical space needed for a freestanding tub ranges from 55-70 inches long by 30-40 inches wide. Oval and rectangular tubs need more length while corner, clawfoot or slipper tubs can fit into smaller spaces. Consider the traffic flow around the tub as well. Leave 24 inches clearance on one side at minimum.
How do you clean and maintain a freestanding tub?
Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with mild, non-abrasive liquid bathroom cleanser for acrylic or Vikrell tubs. Avoid harsh chemicals. For enameled cast iron, wipe with a soft cloth and clear water, avoiding abrasive cleaners which can damage the enamel coating.
