Clawfoot Tub Faucets - Elegance and Beauty for Your Clawfoot BathtubClawfoot tub faucets come in a wide range of designs, styles and colors that will add elegance and beauty to your clawfoot or vintage bathtub.
In recent years clawfoot bathtubs have become a popular design choice in many new homes and home remodels, bringing classic Victorian style to modern living. If you have a clawfoot bathtub you know how elegant and wonderful it is for taking a long soaking bath. You also know that you need to install a faucet that will be compatible with the style of tub you have. A standard tub faucet will usually not work with a clawfoot bath tub. Faucets are often made of brass, and may be plated with nickel, or chrome. Handles are usually made of porcelain or metal. There are three basic faucet options for clawfoot bathtubs: Tub Wall Mounted, Rim and Deck Mounted, and Free Standing Faucets. Following is a brief overview of each of these faucet types. 1) Tub Wall Mounted. Tub wall mounted faucets are installed in the interior tub wall through pre-drilled holes. There are different styles to choose from including gooseneck, hand shower, and traditional tub wall mounted fixtures, as well as bathroom wall mounted faucets. Here are some typical prices you can expect to pay for this type of faucet: a) Prices of gooseneck wall mount faucets vary in price from about $50 to $500 or more. Some gooseneck fixtures include a hand held shower accessory, thus driving up the price for these units. b) Hand shower wall mount units range in price from about $80 to more than $1000. c) Traditional tub mounts are generally more economical, ranging from $30 to $300 or a little more. d) Bathroom wall mounted faucets range in price from about $60 to $800 or more. Prices for these units vary widely depending on factors such as brand
(manufacturer), design, features, and material used in construction.
2) Rim Mounted/Deck Mounted. Rim or deck mounted faucets are installed in tubs that have pre-drilled holes in the rim or deck of the bathtub. Many people prefer rim/deck mounts because the faucet rests on the rim of the tub and does not take up space inside the tub walls. You can generally choose a deck mounted faucet with or without a hand shower attachment. Prices for deck mounted faucets begin at about $250 and go up to $800 or more.
3) Free Standing Faucets. Tubs that have no holes drilled in the wall or rim require free standing faucets. Free standing faucets look nostalgically "cool", and you can place it anywhere you like in relation to your tub. Cool factor notwithstanding, free standing faucets can get downright pricey. Prices for these types of faucets range from about $500 up to $3000 or more.
Hand-Held Shower Head Attachment A useful option that you should consider is getting a faucet with a hand-held shower head attachment. A hand-held shower head provides more versatility to your clawfoot tub faucet configuration. A hand-held shower attachment is a perfect accessory for washing and rinsing your hair and hard to reach body areas (like your back), and for cleaning your tub.
