Freestanding Bath Taps

Freestanding waterfall bath taps are standalone plumbing fixtures designed to deliver water for bathing purposes without being attached to a wall or mounted on a bath or basin. Unlike traditional taps that are fixed to a surface, these taps are independent units that stand on the floor, making them versatile and visually striking elements in bathroom design. Tapron offers a variety of styles, materials, and finishes to suit different aesthetic preferences and functional requirements of all modern bath spaces.

Floor mounted bath taps are often characterised by their elegant and streamlined appearance and are offered in both traditional and modern ranges to suit the demands of all homeowners. Each fixture is defined by solid brass manufacturing that is known to withstand rusting and corrosion excellently in spaces like your kitchens and bathrooms. These taps are popular for space-saving properties and serve excellently in all bathrooms, regardless of space limitations.

Functionality of Floor Standing Taps

Material: The freestanding bath fillers at Tapron is completed with brass construction with the durability further enhanced by the polished, matt and brushed finishes. The brass material combined with this quality coating makes the product less prone to stains, scratches and premature wear and tear. The surface texture depends on the finish with the polished range granting a radiant lustre, the low sheen of matt and the subtle, muted appearance of brushed finishes. The colour options range from bold choices of black, gold and white, to more classic options in nickel, chrome and stainless steel.

Height and Reach: The height and reach of the free standing bath taps are essential considerations as taller spouts provide ample clearance for filling deep baths, while those with extended reach offer flexibility in water delivery. This selection offers ample clearance that enhances accessibility and ease of use, especially for individuals with limited mobility or reach. Users can comfortably access the tap handles and adjust water flow and temperature, promoting convenience and comfort during everyday tasks. The elevated reach allows flexible water delivery by allowing users to direct the flow of water precisely where needed.

Ceramic Disc Technology: Tapron’s floor standing bath taps feature durable ceramic discs that provide smooth and precise control over water flow and temperature. Reducing leaks and drips, these discs glide against each other, creating a watertight seal when the handles are turned off. The innovative technology not only enhances longevity but also reduces maintenance requirements, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.

Freestanding Bath Tap Configuration

Structure: The floor standing waterfall bath taps cater to a range that offers dual outlets for water flow: one via the tap spout and the second, through the handset. These kits offer a handset that is defined in a traditional or modern design. Along with the hand shower, the kit includes a lightweight hose for connecting the hand shower to the tap. A holder or bracket is also included to keep the hand shower in place when not in use. Water and temperature controls vary in single to dual options with spouts that allow the perfect cascade of a pleasing flow.

Base Plates: Base plates serve as sturdy foundations for floorstanding bath taps, ensuring stability and support. By distributing the weight of the tap evenly across the floor surface, these plates help prevent wobbling or tipping, especially in high-traffic areas or on uneven floors. This stability enhances user confidence and safety, providing a secure platform for operating the fixture without concerns about instability or movement.

The circular plates also serve as discreet covers that conceal these connections and hide unsightly pipes and fittings to enhance the surrounding area. The base plate serves as a convenient anchor point for securing the tap to the floor, facilitating quick and straightforward installation without the need for complex mounting hardware.

Difference Between Traditional And Modern Freestanding Waterfall Taps

The difference between a traditional and modern freestanding bath filler lies in their design elements, materials, and functionality.

Handles: Traditional taps typically feature two controls for hot/cold water flow and are defined by embellished designs like crossheads and levers with intricate lettering. A selection also includes the white and black lever diverter that allows users to choose the outlet from which water flow is activated. Modern pieces are more streamlined and minimal, offering single controls for balancing flow and temperature with round and straight handles.

Spouts: Traditional free standing waterfall bath taps have a curved or angular design, often adorned with decorative accents or embellishments. This includes swan necks, wide spouts and gooseneck structures. The modern range has straight or slightly curved spouts that blend with the minimal design of the handles. Designs are mostly one-tone and have microphone or pencil handsets instead of the telephone-design hand showers in vintage pieces.

Stand: A traditional floorstanding bath tap has two stands that support the tap body and provides stability. It has a larger and heavier structure compared to its modern counterparts, necessitating sturdy support to withstand the weight of the tap and resist movement during use. Contemporary designs have a monobloc structure with the spout and handle housed within the same unit. The single structure supported by a stand contributes to the minimalist design ethos, creating a sleek and uncluttered appearance in the bathroom space.
