Unique Placement

One of the most distinguishing features of a Roman tub faucet is its placement. This faucet style is attached to the tub deck rather than being installed in the wall. This aspect of its styling is what gives it its Roman name. The deck-mounted design harkens back to the baths of ancient Rome.

Due to its unique installation style, a homeowner interested in this faucet needs to ensure that their tub will be compatible with the faucet mount.

Stunning Arch

Another unique feature of a Roman tub faucet is the distinct arch of the faucet head. The arched faucet rises above the tub, allowing for a free flow of water into the basin.

This beautiful arch is one of the notable features of this faucet, making it an elegant addition to any bathroom.

Numerous Configurations

Finally, while Roman tub faucets all share some basic similarities, there are various faucet configurations available. For example, a homeowner can choose between a faucet with knobs or one with lever-like handles. Additionally, these faucets are available in many finishes, ensuring they match with any home.
