The most common option is wall-mounted installation at a height of 30–35 cm above the edge of the bathtub. There are also models designed for installation directly on the rim of the bathtub (if special holes are provided), as well as floor-mounted options — an impressive design solution for a bathtub placed in the center of the room.
For a standard bathtub, the optimal spout length is 30–35 cm. A short spout is inconvenient because the water may hit the rim instead of flowing into the tub. A swivel spout is more practical, as it allows you to direct the water flow to any point. If the faucet will also be used for a sink, choose a model with a longer swivel spout.
A thermostatic faucet automatically maintains the set water temperature regardless of pressure fluctuations in the system. This increases comfort when taking a bath or shower and reduces the risk of burns, which is especially important for families with children. These models are usually more expensive, but they justify the cost through durability and water savings.
