Comparison Of Vintage Tub And Bath To Free Standing Bath Tubs

By Darren Hartley


A vintage tub and bath can become the centrepiece of any bathroom. The luxurious aura it exudes combined with its practical function makes this tub timeless and beautiful. As an example, the claw foot tub is now a luxury that anyone can afford, thanks to modern manufacturing.

With the wide selection of styles, sizes, materials and options available, choosing the perfectly vintage tub and bath may be a daunting task. However, retailers provide highly trained specialists, who are able and more than willing to assist homeowners in their selection of a tub that will fit their bathroom style.

The bathtub styles for a vintage tub and bath include classic, double ended, slipper, double slipper and the pedestal. The classic tub is designed with a squared front end for the faucet and drain and a rounded back. The slipper tub also has a squared front end but has a high back with dramatic sloping sides for a more comfortable lounging position.

Becoming more popular these days are free standing bath tubs mainly due to their fantastic design statement. An elegant and sophisticated feel of being in a retreat or an expensive day spa is what they provide a user. Larger bathrooms that offer plenty of space for walking around the tub are where they are best installed.

Free standing bath tubs are available in classic and contemporary shapes, in a huge range of sizes, lengths and depths. They enable users to take long and shallow baths perfect for bathing children or deep luxurious baths for soaking happily for hours on end.

The manufacture of free standing bath tubs uses different materials including acrylic, cast iron, wood or stone. The matching of any bathroom theme is made possible with their huge range of tap ware choices that includes the floor mounted tap ware, which is the more popular choice and the wall mounted tap ware. The choice of mounting the tap ware on the bath himself is also an option for a potential user.
