Until recently, you could only dream of freestanding bathtubs. Such form of a bathtub crossed only a very few people’s minds. Rather unobtainable, not practical and, above all, usually too big for small bathrooms. In addition, old freestanding bathtubs were displaced by those built-in because of the unaesthetic drainage pipes remaining in view.

Nowadays, there is a great return to these solutions, and freestanding bathtubs have already become synonymous with luxury. Becoming increasingly common in bathing salons, they are similar to those that could be found in ancient times. According to records, the first such bathtub appeared in the palace in Crete in the sixteenth century BC. Stone bathtubs attracted attention with their form and decorations. Such a bath could only be afforded by the elite, while it remained completely inaccessible to the society of the lower status at the time.
Reverting to the present, we wonder what has changed. Who does not dream of a long, relaxing bath in a bathtub, which will allow soothing the tired body after a whole day of struggle? This kind of relaxation is a therapy for both body and soul. Often, such baths are accompanied by candles and aromatic oils, and sometimes by a good book or a glass of wine. In our case, it is a ritual that we do not want to give up practicing. It should also be remembered that choosing a bathtub involves the purchase of appropriate fittings. The Laveo brand proposes a bath floor-mounted faucet. The Pretto series, in which you will find this freestanding model, is a loft collection available in three finishes. For those who love classic finishes, we have timeless chrome. For fans of darker shades, who want to introduce a breath of modernity into their bathroom, we suggest graphite or black finish.

These 94 cm high faucets can be easily combined with freestanding bathtubs from various manufacturers. A simple spout will quickly fill the bathtub up without splashing the water around. The hand shower attached to the faucet provides maximum flexibility when rinsing, washing, or bathing children. The easy-to-use handle allows precise control of temperature and water flow and directs water from the spout to the hand shower. All mounting accessories are included, among which there are brass base and expansion bolts for stability and safe installation. An interesting, slender design of the faucet will undoubtedly make your bathroom or bathing salon more attractive. You need to have a little more space to apply such a solution. It is assumed that it is necessary to develop at least 10 square meters of free space in the bathroom to be able to insert such a bathtub and make it look good inside (forget about jamming such a bath into the corner of a small bathroom in an apartment block, because it will look grotesque). A great advantage is a possibility of installing both bath and freestanding faucet anywhere in the bathroom, even in the very center of it. This is viable thanks to drainage systems, installed not in the walls of the room, but in the floor. Such a solution will certainly make your bathroom more appealing and allow clearing your mind while bathing.
