When designing a spa-like bathroom retreat, the right bathtub can make all the difference. Freestanding bathtubs with center drains offer both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits, particularly for those who enjoy a luxurious bathing experience. In this blog, we explore the advantages of center drains and highlight some exquisite options from our Deluxe Collection—including the Imperia, Slipper, and Petit tubs.
What is a Center Drain?
A center drain is exactly what it sounds like—a bathtub drain positioned at the center of the tub, rather than at one end. Unlike traditional end-drain tubs, which are better suited for single-person bathing, center drains create a more balanced and comfortable bathing experience for two people. This feature is especially ideal for couples who want to enjoy a soak together without one person sitting uncomfortably against the drain.
Are Center Drains Comfortable?
Absolutely! In fact, center drains are designed with comfort in mind. By evenly distributing space within the tub, both bathers can recline comfortably without interference. Additionally, the flush-with-the-floor drain design found in our Deluxe Collection ensures that no part of the drain protrudes, offering a smooth and seamless bathing surface.
Benefits of a Freestanding Bathtub with a Center Drain
- Ideal for Two-Person Bathing – Both users can enjoy a balanced, cozy soak without the discomfort of sitting near the drain.
- Aesthetically Pleasing – Center drains provide symmetry, enhancing the visual appeal of your bathtub and bathroom.
- Superior Water Drainage – The central positioning allows for more efficient drainage, preventing standing water and improving overall tub maintenance.
- Enhanced Comfort – With our flush drain design, bathers experience an uninterrupted, smooth surface that maximizes relaxation.
