Bathroom taps should wonderfully complement your style when choosing a new bath. But have you ever thought about adding a fabulous floor-mounted tap? A floor-mounted tap, also referred to as a floor-standing tap, certainly has the bathroom wow factor.
Though a little costlier than standard bath taps, floor-mounted taps are a sturdy long-term investment. Ultimately, they are a fabulous talking point in the room. The Bathroom Showroom looks at the many benefits of selecting a floor-mounted tap.

What Is a Floor Mounted Tap?

A floor-mounted tap is exactly that - a tap that you can mount on the floor. Floor mounted taps connect to the underfloor pipework and are fed by two pipes. 
The simplest solution is to connect a floor mounted tap to your current plumbing works. Yet, because they're also flexible when positioning, a professional can install them in a location to suit. 
Placed outside of the bath, there are two points worth noting about floor-mounted taps beforehand. One is that they do require a higher water pressure level in operation. Secondly, because of the additional space needed, you’ll need to account for this when planning your bathroom design.

What Baths Do Floor Mounted Taps Work Best With?

The most common bath choices for floor-standing bath taps are free-standing baths. In fact, you could say floor-mounted taps are designed with free-standing baths in mind. These bath types also strive to be the centre of attention in every bathroom.
Free-standing baths offer you control over where to position them in the room. And, so too does a free-standing floor-mounted tap.
The undeniable appeal of a free-standing bath is that it adds a luxurious touch to a bathroom. A statement piece and work of art, the best free-standing baths are more spacious and decorative. So, if you’re looking for a magnificent bath tap to finish your freestanding-bath, a floor-mounted tap is designed perfectly for this purpose.
