Built-In Variety

The built-in variety, on the other hand, offers some advantages as well. They are great for smaller places and can use the space optimally. These often fit nicely in a majority of bathrooms of various sizes and are easy to clean as well. Also, the price of the built-in variety is cheaper than the other one. Storage is not a major issue with these types of tubs. In fact, these tubs provide some space above them to store toiletries. Moreover, if the tub is big in size, the sides can be used as storage as well. Plumbing can be easily done for this kind of bathtub. Also, they are easy to clean.

However, there are certain cons about these tubs as well. Of course, the first issue is about flexibility. These are fixed and thus cannot be shifted to make space. Also, the options are few regarding these tubs. Installation of these baths is also full of hassles. It requires sealing, mounting and creating a favourable condition.

Freestanding Tubs

These chic looking tubs offer quite a few advantages which go beyond its look. These are extremely versatile in shape and design. Buyers can want any shape or design, and the tubs will be built in the same manner. Moreover, each and every freestanding tub is unique in its appearance. This is a major plus when it comes to choosing. Also, these appear luxurious. This thing of beauty can be installed painlessly, and the plumbing can also be done easily. Placing these tubs can be done creatively which will enhance the look of the bathroom, unlike the other variety.

However, not all is glorious about these tubs. The first turn off may be its price. It may not be possible for everyone to buy it and install it. Also, the weight of these tubs can be way more than the other variety. These tubs are heavy and will weigh even more when filled with water. Moreover, some people wish to combine a shower with the freestanding tub. If this is the case, then a built-in must be chosen instead of a freestanding one. Also, storage is a problem with the freestanding ones because there is the absence of a ledge which can provide extra space. These tubs often do not need designer tiles in Perth to appear cool; they are already good looking.

Thus, one must choose carefully while making a choice between the two.
