        "text": "Freestanding tubs act as a focal design element and offer flexible placement, but they require generous floor space, specific floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler valves, and extra cleaning access around the perimeter. Alcove tubs fit into a three-walled enclosure, making them ideal for combination shower-tub setups and smaller footprints.
