Free Standing Baths for an enhanced bathing experience

Free standing baths have adorned the finest properties around the world since the 18th century. It gives that special vintage feel to the property with the advantage of being mobile unlike fixed baths. When choosing a free standing bath, there are some general rules that apply to each individual bath. You must remember all of these!

The baths usually fall into one of the two categories- French or British. A traditional British bath would be single ended that means having tap at the other end. The feet of the freestanding baths were not as ornate as the French freestanding baths, although a nice ball and claw foot or lions paw foot was commonplace. The French freestanding baths were and still are the Crème de la crème of free standing baths. The original French freestanding baths are smaller than the British baths as the French were a smaller race than the British. The bath legs on the French baths are design classics, with wonderfully ornate detail. The best examples of these rare baths are usually found in the French Châteaus.

Before going in for a freestanding bath one should ask himself some questions like Is the bath right for the property? What are the proportions of the bath with the space available in the bathroom? How it stands? The symmetry of the bath and the ornateness of the legs etc. Apart from it purchasing cost and maintenance should also be given a thought as these baths do not come cheap.
