Freestanding Taps
When fitting a roll-top or modern slipper tub, it’s essential to select freestanding bath taps that are both sturdy and stylish. We offer a variety of floor-mounted freestanding taps constructed with durable brass internals and high-quality finishes. Designed for a sleek, professional appearance, these taps come with secure floor-fixing kits to ensure they remain stable and wobble-free after the plumbing is completed.
Why Quality Matters with Freestanding Bath Taps
A floor-mounted installation is only as good as the kit you’re using. Cheap freestanding taps are notorious for vibrating or swaying, but our trade-grade range is designed to stay in place. Whether you’re plumbing into a screed floor or under floorboards, these freestanding bath taps provide the reach and height needed to clear the rim of any standard or deep-soaking freestanding tub.
Technical Specifications for the Trade
We understand the importance of reliable equipment that works with UK water pressures. Most of our freestanding taps feature:
- Ceramic Disc Technology: This ensures smooth operation, preventing drips and reducing call-backs for leaks.
- Handheld Shower Kits: Many of our models come with an integrated shower handset and hose, making them perfect for rinsing the tub or washing hair.
- Solid Fixing Bases: Our taps are equipped with robust floor plates and shroud covers, which conceal your pipework and provide a sturdy anchor point.
Installation Tips
When installing freestanding taps, always check your flow rates, especially if your home uses a gravity-fed system. Most of these units perform best at a minimum pressure of 1.0 bar. If you're working on a wooden floor, ensure you have good access from below to tighten the back nuts and securely fasten the supply pipes.
