How to Choose a Clawfoot Bath Tub
The clawfoot bath tub originated in the Greek island of Crete some 4,000 years ago. Now, the modern world has seen its come back in homes across the world.
Cast iron with porcelain is the typical make of a clawfoot bath tub. Today, though, a variety of designs have been created and there are now clawfoot bath tubs that are made of acrylic and fiberglass for lighter weight and easier installation. During the earlier years of the clawfoot bath tub's comeback, the clawfoot bath tub used to be popular only among collectors. Now it is made so much more affordable for all home owners who wish to have a beautiful antique-style bath tub.
When selecting, remember that clawfoot bath tubs come in various designs and styles. There are those with the classic roll rim, where the rims of the tub elegantly slope outwards. Similarly, slipper tubs have that slightly raised end that delicately curves backwards where you are able to rest your back comfortably. Double slipper tubs are those that have two ends that are raised and curved. A tub that is double ended has two sides that are rounded instead of flat. Whether you are looking for that feminine touch, clean modern lines, vintage feel or playful design, the clawfoot bath tub offers you many styles to choose from.
The next thing to consider is the feet of the tub. Clawfoot bath tubs usually have iron feet with the shape of a lion's claws. Antique clawfoot bath tubs often have cast iron feet that is coated with porcelain enamel. Some are gilt and bear a resemblance of other animal feet. Clawfoot bath tub feet now come in different colors such as iridescent and two-tone.
The more technical aspect of selecting the tub would be considering the placement of faucet holes. Wall holes are made so that your faucet and shower is situated from inside the tub. On the other hand, you can have faucet holes on top of the rim if you want more space and water in the bath tub. Another alternative is the absence of faucet holes, where water lines are attached to the bathroom wall instead.
Next step is to select your water supply line, once you've decided on the placement of the faucet holes. Water supply lines come in many designs, too. They can either be silver or have that gold tint. Here are the types of water supply lines you might want to inquire about from your supplier:
- Single offset supply lines. - Double offset supply lines - Pressure balance supply system - Deck mount supply lines - Freestanding water supply - Tub deck mount water supply - Tube wall mount water supply
Selecting a clawfoot bath tub that best suits your taste depends in knowing the basic styles and designs available. You can begin your search with local suppliers or online.

What's the black brown stuff that gets on the rim of my bathtub? and How do i prevent it from occuring?
Theres like this black fungus that eventually grows on the rim and edges of my bathtub after a couple weeks of showering.
What is it? And how do i prevent it from comming back?
My mom cleans our bathroom and she uses some sort of detergent and the tub is spotless, but it comes back after a couple weeks use of the shower.
Mold likely. If the bathroom doesn't have proper ventilation, it gets wet (think foggy) with each shower and then doesn't get a chance to dry out. Perfect breeding ground for mold. Bleach does the trick, but you'll have to keep up with keeping the area dry and clean.
