Picking a Roman Tub Faucet

Choosing a Roman tub faucet will come down to a few key decisions: the finish, the style, and the faucet configuration. The following guide will help homeowners determine which Roman faucet is the perfect fit for their bathtub and space.

Choose a Finish

The first thing for a homeowner looking to purchase a faucet to determine is what finish they want their new faucet to feature. Standard finishes for Roman tub faucets include the following:

• Polished chrome
• Brushed nickel
• Antique brass
• Oil-rubbed bronze
• Polished brass
• Matte black
• Polished nickel
• Black stainless steel

When picking between finishes, it is important to consider how the finish will pair with other fixtures in the room. For example, if all the other fixtures in the bathroom feature warm tones, it will be wise to stick to a finish on the Roman tub faucet that is also warm or neutral.

Choose a Style

Next, homeowners purchasing a new faucet will need to think about the style they want. While all Roman tub faucets are deck-mounted and feature an arched faucet spout, they come in various styles and designs. From English country style to modern and sleek, a homeowner needs to think through what style will fit the rest of their home’s design.

Choose a Configuration

Finally, homeowners will need to compare the different configurations available. Do they want knobs or levers for handles? Do they want a tall arched spout or a low sloping arch? Do they want additional features, such as a hand shower? Choosing the right configuration will ensure that the tub faucet is enjoyable for many years to come.
