How to choose the right freestanding tub for residential or commercial project? T&W has compiled this ultimate buying guide to answer that question!
WHAT IS A FREESTANDING BATHTUB?
A freestanding bathtub is a standalone bathtub that is not attached to a wall or built into any surrounding structure. Unlike traditional alcove or drop-in tubs, which are typically installed against a wall, freestanding tubs are designed to stand alone and are often the focal point of a bathroom's design. These tubs can be placed anywhere in the bathroom, offering flexibility in layout and allowing for more creative design choices.
