Jetted Claw Foot Tubs - Awesome Choice

Any renovation project for the bathroom necessarily involves the replacement of the existing bathtub. Yet, most of the people treat a bathtub merely as a facility for washing their body or as an outlet for draining their quick showers. Depending on how much you use your bathroom and what you derive from it, you may need to give some second thoughts to creating an exclusive retreat for yourself.

Perhaps you can’t ignore the fact that at the end of a hard day, nothing is more soothing and refreshing than a prolonged bath in a bathtub where you can unwind yourself. Once you have a bathroom that allows you to achieve that level of comfort, you will be motivated to use it more frequently. But how does one get to have that kind of a bathtub. A claw-foot jetted tub is one way to get that. This not only brings in a changed decor to your bathroom but its style is encouraging to getting a relaxed body, mind and spirit.



A claw-foot jetted tub brings back the nostalgic memories of the 1920s. But, you need not have a theme of the 20’s to refashion your bathroom with this kind of bathtub. For, you can have a very convenient mix of the modern and antiquated looks to create a design that you can claim to be exclusively yours. The structure of this tub is perfectly designed to fit small bathrooms without your having to compromise with your style due constraints of space. Over and above its design, you’ll appreciate the relaxation brought around by the air jets that form an essential feature of this bathtub.

While mentioning the pleasant experience provided by jets, it will not be fair to omit the products of the American Bath Factory. It has on offer quite a few options of claw foot jetted tubs. The Champagne Duke model is provided with 91 massage jets! It further offers the flexibility of having either a left or a right pump. These massage jets are housed on the floor of the tub and release warm air bubbles to bring relief to and sooth all key muscle groups.

The Celine Champagne Acrylic Double Ended model is another claw-foot jetted tub option that you will find enjoyable. It has a wall mounted faucet designed in the style of an English telephone that will look appealing to any bathroom. Though priced for only $ 3265, this tub has been given a high gloss shine not only on the interior but on the exterior side also. You need not worry about faucet drillings. The maximum possible water depth is restricted to fourteen inches. The soothing effect provided by water touching your body is just heavenly.

ClawFoot Bathtubs - Various Styles And Designs

The clawfoot bathtubs first appeared on the scene in 1883. Standard Manufacturing developed the technique of enameling cast iron products to make them good looking and to prevent iron from getting rusted. Such technological developments led to the manufacturing of claw foot bath tubs.

Most of us think only of this type of a bath tub that has rolled over rims. Now the company is called as American Standard Brands. Though it continues to be one of the major manufacturers of bathtubs, like any other smarty business house, it added a number of plumbing items to its manufacturing range. Technological developments and innovations by American Standard Manufacturing have made significant contributions to the developments of plumbing business as a whole. It is no exaggeration to mention that at least three of the five houses built in America have some or the other product of this company in the house.



Primarily there are four different types of claw foot shower curtains available, giving you a choice to chose from. First in the line is a classic claw foot shower curtain, which people think of in the first instance. Its design comprises of having one rounded end that enables the user in the bathtub to rest his or her back in the curved portion and continue to feel comfortable while the body gets thoroughly soaked. The other end where the feet would rest is rather squared and has faucets and drain.

The second design is a slipper tub. It is quite similar to classic model, but has an extended curved back thereby enabling the bather to have a head rest too.

Then there is a double ended and double slipper tub design. In this case the tub is provided with rounded ends on both the ends. So, one can use either end. Look at the facility of having a companion in the bath tub, each having an independent rounded end. As both the ends are rounded, you would be wondering where the provision for faucet holes is. Well, they are drilled along the side of the tub.

There is a very interesting feature to all the designs of a claw foot bath tub. You can have any of the designs without drilled in faucet holes! And, any of the designs can have faucet holes drilled on the rolled rim. Are you surprised? The reason goes back to the history of such tubs. When such tubs came into being, all houses did not have a supply of running water. Subsequently, when water supply was introduced, some houses would have it from the walls and others had it coming from the floor. That’s why all the tubs can still be fitted with whatever type of claw foot bathtub faucet one may need.



The wall mount fits the tubs with faucet holes drilled in the tubs. The deck mounted would fit the design of holes drilled in the rim, and makes the faucet appear as if sitting on the rolled over edge. The free standing will have water supply coming out of the floor whereas the bathroom wall mount permits water supply from out of the wall, but in certain situations it can also be used for the tub wall mount.

As a modern version with a look of the gone by era of traditional claw-foot tub, you may have one made of acrylic. The use of this material results to having lighter tubs that give a warmer touch than the old cast iron tubs. You can incorporate a whirlpool or an air jet to get that extra comfort. Another piece of technology will be to provide it with a remote control. Any bathtub, be it acrylic or cast iron can be upgraded to the level of a claw foot shower tub. You can achieve that by just adding a shower and a curtain rod that may be hung from the ceiling. The arrangement suffices to provide a stand up shower as and when you feel like having one.

Of course, such an arrangement would necessitate the inclusion of two or three normal shower curtains. The limitation of such an arrangement is that water or steam would leak out from the seams, thereby forming a pool of water on the floor, plus you continue to get in cool air thru the seams of such curtain. But, you may go for a claw foot shower curtain that is available in lengths much larger than a normal shower curtain, thus enabling you to enjoy shower without making a mess on the floor.
