Modern National Freestanding Range

Freestanding floor-mounted bath mixers require careful planning before installation, this is not something that can be decided after tiling is complete. The plumbing supply needs to be brought up through the floor slab or subfloor to the exact location of the mixer before waterproofing takes place. You will need to work with your plumber early in the renovation process to confirm the rough-in position. You should also measure the spout height carefully against your bath's rim height, the water must fall clearly into the bath, not trickle down the rim.

A freestanding bath is a bathtub that stands independently on the floor with no enclosing walls or built-in surround, it's visible on all sides and is typically the centrepiece of the bathroom. Freestanding baths suit larger bathrooms where there's adequate floor space around the unit. They are one of the most popular design choices in Australian master bathrooms and ensuites.

Standard freestanding baths in Australia range from 1400mm to 1800mm in length. A 1500mm bath suits most adults comfortably and fits in ensuites with a floor area of around 2.5–3 sqm or more. A 1700mm bath offers a more generous soak. Always measure the available floor space and allow clearance on all sides for both plumbing access and aesthetic breathing room.
