Vintage Tub And Bath And 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.

The wide variety of available styles, sizes, materials and options make the choice of the perfectly luxurious vintage tub and bath a daunting task. To assist homeowners in their selection of a tub that will fit their bathroom style, retailers provide highly trained specialists who are able and more than willing to help.

Classic, double ended, slipper, double slipper and the pedestal are but some of the bathtub styles available for a vintage tub and bath. Both classic and slipper tubs are designed with a squared front end for the faucet and drain. The difference lies in the classic tub having a rounded back and the slipper tub having a high back with dramatic sloping sides for a more comfortable lounging position.

Free standing bath tubs are becoming more popular mainly due to their fantastic design statement. They provide an elegant and sophisticated feel of being in a retreat or an expensive day spa. They are best installed in larger bathrooms that offer plenty of space for walking around the tub.

Free standing bath tubs are either shaped in a classic or contemporary way. They are offered in a huge range of sizes, lengths and depths. They are perfect for taking long and shallow baths, which is also suitable for bathing children or taking 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.
