Get More Durability With Acrylic Clawfoot Tubs Than Cast Iron Provides


There are many advantages to selecting acrylic clawfoot tubs as opposed to the traditional cast iron look. Bathtubs made with cast iron have a tendency to rust or crack over time. The acrylic material has longer lasting quality that is not subject to the same wear and tear. Additionally, cast iron can stain from using bath oils and bubbles. The good thing is that cast iron can be durable, but acrylic clawfoot tubs are also durable and yet you will not have the same concerns. Everyone is looking for ways to save money these days; cast iron tubs are heavy and can be very expensive. If your bathroom floor is not sturdy enough to support the cast iron, you will need to not only replace the tub, but also the flooring.
Acrylic clawfoot tubs are much lighter.
They are also smoother and warm. The non-porous surface makes these bathtubs easy to clean. It is also much easier for manufacturers to combine the charm of old-fashioned bathtubs with the contemporary conveniences that makes the bathing experience more than just a time for cleaning your body. There are many different types of acrylic clawfoot tubs that you can choose from to provide a classic centerpiece for your bathroom.

Types of Acrylic Clawfoot Tubs
American Bath Factory has an acrylic clawfoot model in a classic style that does not require faucet drillings, meaning less plumbing work is necessary to install. Priced under $2,000, the white exterior and interior high gloss shine is appropriate to keep this bathtub in excellent condition. The Sophia Acrylic Clawfoot Slipper tub comes with a wrought iron base and costs around $1,700. This attractive bathtub has a whimsical feel with the burnished gold wrought iron stand that is held up by claw feet. You can add to this look with a freestanding faucet. Like many acrylic clawfoot tubs, the Sophia has a rolled rim. Two acrylic sheets make this tub, and fiberglass and resin fills the space between the walls to provide added durability.

People who choose acrylic clawfoot tubs for their bathrooms know that they are getting more that just a centerpiece for their bathroom decor. Whether it is a rolled rim or a double ended model with an extended backrest for soaking, these tubs are also a wonderful place to relax.

Another American Bath Factory model is the Princess Acrylic Clawfoot that comes with a deck mounted telephone faucet, and only costs $2,718 with many standard features. The manufacturer’s warranty guarantees 25 years of bathing comfort from the date of purchase. This type of guarantee for acrylic clawfoot tubs is no small wonder.
