If you have gone out and found yourself a stunning clawfoot bathtub, don’t detract from its beauty by purchasing a cheap faucet. The faucet and drain is going to be used each time someone takes a bath. How any people will be bathing? How many years will go by? Make the investment.
Now when I say “make the investment” I don’t mean you have to break the bank. Our faucets are like everyone of our other products; affordable. We are able to keep our prices low because we keep these amazing faucets in stock.
Quality
As I stated previously, a quality faucet is a must. But what makes a faucet “quality”? Our faucets are made of solid brass. When you receive one, you will be very impressed at the weight of the faucet.
The featured faucet package today includes a Modern Gooseneck Faucet that has a Shower Wand. The single “on/off” lever has 1/4 turn valves. The faucet is Free Standing so it can be placed anywhere near the tub. It makes sense to place the faucet as the lowest place on the tub. The waste water drain in the tub will typically be below the where the water flows out of the faucet.
The Water Supply Lines that connect the faucet to the house water are included. The bottom base of the faucet is round and good sized so the faucet is steady on the floor. Immediately, upon installation you will walk away and be glad you “made the investment”!
Finish
Today I am showing you the three most popular finishes for faucets on the market. They are Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. They each have their place. Chrome has been around for a very long time. However, it is still used in homes and businesses all over the world.
Brushed Nickel is a faucet finish that is nickel and started out as shiny, but the surface has been “brushed” to remove the shine. This process creates a less reflective finish and doesn’t show fingerprints and water drops as readily as chrome will. Another common name for brushed nickel is satin nickel. The color of the finish can vary as some brands come off with a yellowed tint to them.
Oil Rubbed Bronze is probably the newest finish even though it has been around for awhile. This is a finish that varies wildly from brand to brand. Some are a medium bronzy-browny shade, while others are basically kind of black.
Of course, our oil rubbed bronze fixtures are a perfect blend on a fine brass faucet that has a bronzed finish which has been oil rubbed. The color is deep and rich.
Package Deal
A faucet package will also include a Drain & Overflow Assembly. Your vintage style tub will have a hole in the tub wall and one in the bottom of the tub. The drain & overflow assembly is a pipe that is shaped like an “L”. The top piece attaches to the hole in the tub wall to catch the water that sloshes up there, or in case that you forget to turn the water off. The bottom piece goes beneath the tub and fits into the drain hole so the waste water is carried away.
Again, the drain & overflow assembly is very high quality. It is brass with your choice of finish over it. For your convenience, it comes in one size so you can cut it to perfectly fit your tub. Just use any saw blade rated for cutting metal.
Be sure to get all of your bathtub fixtures from us so that all of the finishes match-up and your dream bathroom will be a reality.
