4 Reasons to Choose a Roman Tub Faucet


A Roman tub faucet just might be the finishing touch that your bathroom remodel needs in order to create that look of elegance and majestic regal. Studies have shown that remodeling a bathroom is the second most stressful project a homeowner can undertake right behind the kitchen. Every little piece from the toilet, to the cabinetry, the lighting, the tub and shower, tile, and accessories are being pieced together as in a puzzle. The last piece of the puzzle that can add certain "pop" to your project is a roman tub faucet.

What Is a Roman Tub Faucet?

This type of faucet is one where the handles are attached to the deck of the tub instead of the wall or bath itself and has an arched spout. They can come in a range of handle setting which include a single, double, or even triple handle design. Roman tub faucets can come finished in a popular polished brass or a more modern chrome or nickel finish.

1. An Elegant Look
Because of their design roman tub faucets add opulence to the bathroom and tub area. They are styled after the great ancient Roman baths that were populated all over Europe. The sleek lines and mounting design are reminiscent of a bygone era that has been modernized for an elegant, luxurious look to your bathroom.

2. High Quality and Workmanship

A roman tub faucet is not to be confused with a regular wall mounted fixture. Because of the unique placement of the faucet on the tub decking, they do require a little more work replacing than a common faucet. To offset this, they are made with quality crafting and workmanship. It is not uncommon for this type of faucet to last 20 to 30 years trouble free.

3. Great for Stand Alone Tubs
Modern bathrooms are becoming larger and wore expansive. In this revisioning of bathrooms, more and more people are going to stand alone type bathtubs that are removed from a wall and shower enclosure. A roman tub faucet is then ideal for this type of bath configuration.

4. Invest in Value
When thinking about a higher value for your home you don't commonly think about the bathroom fixtures. Roman tub faucets add a level of luxury and value to the overall home. When planning out your next bathroom remodel, or buying fixtures for a new home build, think about the future resale value and add a roman tub style faucet.
