I'm getting ready to purchase an Aquatica Purescape tub. They have plenty of styles. aquaticausa.com/

I would like to mount a Kohler Artifacts roman tub faucet on a pedestal to stand behind my Victoria & Albert Marlborough tub. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I purchased a free-standing, composite soaking tub from Devon & Devon (D&D) (they have a clawfoot, but I chose a different style). Two advantages of composite over acrylic: it holds the heat, and scratches or stains can be easily "buffed out" with light sand paper. The D&D tub has a satin-like matte finish. I use Windex to clean it. D&D is pricey, but after trying out tubs for months, it was my favorite, and I was willing to wait several more months for delivery. Other brands I considered: Wetstyle (from Canada), Bain Ultra, Toto, Kohler, Duravit, Blu Bathworks, Mti, Hydrosystems, Axor, and T&L. Zucchetti and V&A tubs were tempting - but I didn't like the look of the exposed drain pipe.

*by “lost in online searches” I mean I keep only finding suppliers in the UK and Australia - I am in canada and so something with less extreme shipping would make a lot of sense for me.
