A freestanding roll top bath is one that stands in the centre of a room, without being attached to a wall. On the plus side, this is a highly stylish, beautiful addition to any type of bathroom, that will make it into a spa-like oasis for you to relax in. On the downside, a freestanding bath will not be as space efficient. As it is not attached to a wall, there will not be a shower over it, so it can only be used as a bath. This means that if you want to have a shower, there will need to be space for a separate cubicle as well. Some people who have more than one bathroom in their home will decide to have one that has a freestanding bath in it, and one that has the more practical options, such as a shower, or a shower that is over a bath. This then gives you the best of both worlds – you have an en suite or additional shower room, as well as a spa like space with a luxurious, comfortable freestanding bath.
