Clawfoot Tub Faucets: 10 Quick Tips
1. Choosing the hardware and faucet for your clawfoot tub can be as intimidating as the lion's paws on the tub's feet. A faucet with the right style and construction will demonstrate your command of design principles.
2. Wall-mounted faucets don't actually touch or connect with the tub, so make sure you've got the spigot lined up with the bowl or you'll be watering your floor.
3. Tub wall-mounted faucets are mounted to the side of the tub rather than the wall of your bathroom. Check to make sure your tub's faucet holes will accommodate the faucet model you're considering before you decide.
4. Deck- or rim-mounted faucets sit on the top ledge or rim of your tub. Traditional styles use two faucet holes and have a spout that points straight down, but Roman faucets require three holes to accommodate the independent spout.
5. Freestanding tubs are usually separate units from showers, but if you still would like to be able to rinse clean, consider a handheld shower faucet. The English telephone style is most in keeping with an antique clawfoot tub.
6. Your tub may be missing faucet holes, but that doesn't mean it has to miss out on style. Floor-mounted or freestanding faucets are mounted onto freestanding supply lines that are manufactured to support the weight of your faucet.
7. Regular faucets have a spout that points straight down, but you can add extra elegance and grace with a slender gooseneck faucet. The tall spout arches up and out and often swivels out of the way for convenience while bathing.
8. If you have an antique clawfoot tub or a very authentic reproduction and don't want to worry about drilling holes, choose a faucet that mounts to your wall or is freestanding.
9. Think of a faucet as "bling" for your tub. Available in shiny chrome, polished or antiqued brass or nickel, gold, acrylic enamels of various colors, stainless steel, or copper, faucets can personalize your tub.
10. Faucets come in a variety of styles, from traditional to contemporary, ornate to simple, glossy to satin. Look for one that complements not only your tub, but also your sink faucet and overall bathroom theme.
