Nothing Beats The Classic Style Of Clawfoot Tubs
Nothing Beats The Classic Style Of Clawfoot Tubs was written by Rob Barnes and he says "Clawfoot bathtubs have a unique, instantly recognizable style. You've seen them - they look old-fashioned with smooth rolled rims, resting on four legs with the "feet" resembling claws. Let's discuss them and their close cousins, the pedestal tubs, and some of the more prominent makers of these styles.
* The original clawfoot tubs, made of cast iron with a porcelain finish, started becoming popular in the mid 1800's. European style clawfoot tubs typically have wall-mounted hardware and faucets, while the American style mounts the hardware on the tub itself..
* While the original cast iron style is very solid, more modern materials like acrylic give you the same great look, but they make the tub lighter and easier to maintain
* Some have slanted back makes it very easy to ease back and enjoy the soaking comfort.
* Slipper tubs, on the other hand, have a high back.
* Pedestal tubs have the same features, except that they rest on a pedestal, or platform, instead of feet. They have a very elegant look indeed.
* Clawfoot and pedestal bath tubs are freestanding, and thus are relatively easy to install, since no carpentry or masonry has to be done, and the exposed pipes make maintenance and repair easy.
Top makers of these bathtub styles include:
* Barclay Products designs Victorian style clawfoot tubs made from both cast iron and acrylic, but with very modern accessories. Barclay combines the best of the old and the new in their products.
* Cheviot makes several elegant lines of pedestaland clawfoot tubs, including the Slipper Bath, Traditional Roll Top , Regency, Windsor and Balmoral Baths.
* Vintage Tub and Bath is an online retailer whose main focus, in fact, is selling these classic styles of tubs.
Do yourself a favor and dress up your bathroom with an classically-styled clawfoot or pedestal tub.
