Installing a freestanding bath

You can place a freestanding bath freely in the room, if your bathroom is large enough. And if there is enough space around the bath, you can get in on all sides. In practice, a freestanding bath is usually placed near a wall, so that getting in and out of the bath is still done in one place. This way, the loss of space is minimal while you still have the look of a freestanding bath. A great idea is to place a freestanding bath diagonally rather than parallel to a wall. This gives a playful and exciting effect to a room.

Simple installation of a freestanding bath

It is not very difficult to install a freestanding bath, as there is no need for a surround. It is convenient to do the installation with two men. A freestanding bath is heavy, and the drain and legs are at the bottom. Put the Bath down where you want it to be permanently and check that it is nice and level. With these leveling feet, you can set the bath nicely straight. Then fit the overflow and don't forget to fit the rubber seal. Screw on the overflow. Close the unused opening of the siphon with a cover and also place a sealing ring here. Place the drain in the bathtub, using a rubber seal. Connect the siphon to it and screw on the drain. Now connect the bath drain to the bathroom drain. Then place the bath on the floor and fit the drain cap. The bath can now be used.
