A clawfoot tub has long been a symbol of wealth and elegance, and it's iconic style is one of the primary reasons homeowners choose to have them installed in their bathrooms. But are there other reasons to choose a clawfoot tub over built-in, boxy alternatives?
Easy Installation
A traditional built-in tub can require a lot of work. Besides plumbing installation (if necessary), installation may also require caulking, tearing apart walls, and more. A clawfoot tub, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere you'd like in the bathroom. The only installation required is the plumbing.
Opens Up the Bathroom
Those who prefer open room designs are undoubtedly fans of the clawfoot tub. These elegant bathroom fixtures allow for much more open space versus traditional built-in counterparts. There are no tall walls, and a clawfoot tub does not have to be sectioned off in a corner against the wall somewhere. It can even be installed in the center of your room.
Design Prioritizes Comfort
A clawfoot tub is designed with a slight slope to it's side that allows homeowners to lean back in a much more comfortable, natural fashion. These tubs are also typically deeper, and are made of materials which allow water to stay hot for longer periods. This makes a clawfoot tub the perfect addition for someone who enjoys relaxing in a hot tub after a long day of work.
Great Number of Options Available
A clawfoot tub is not a one-size-fits-all fixture. These tubs not only come in different designs, but they also come in different sizes. Typical offerings range from 54 inches to 72 inches in length. You can choose to leave an open design, or add a wrap-around curtain for additional privacy.
