Don't Forget The Beauty Of Cast Iron Bathtubs

People who are seeking an upscale look to their bathroom most often will choose cast iron bathtubs to compliment their chosen decor. Whether it is for a remodeling project, or when building a new home, the enamel coating and cast iron fixtures give an elegant, timeless look to a bathroom that you simply will not find with bathtubs made from other types of material. The heavy weight of cast iron bathtubs gives way to a few economical choices that in the past were priced outside of the average person’s price range. Affordable pieces have made cast iron bathtubs accessible to more people.

Cast iron bathtubs are made by pouring molten liquid iron into a mold that gives their distinctive shape when the metal hardens. The pure iron and thickness makes these bathtubs extremely durable to last longer than other types of bathtubs. The finishing touch to cast iron bathtubs is the fire polishing that provides the vivid color and high gloss finish. The very nature of the cast iron material is what makes it easier to maintain a warm water temperature. This is something that the Toto FBY1525LP#01 Cotton White Soaking Tub counts on. Retailing for just $695, the cast iron construction of this bathtub will provide years of durability. The slip resistant surface and apron front are additional features that make this soaking tub one of the preferred choices for many consumers.

The beauty and heat durability of cast iron bathtubs are not their only appeal.
Many manufacturers make these bathtubs for one or two persons. The two person design is something that most couples will enjoy when they want to share some quality time together. Most conventional bathtubs do not allow this added convenience. The Kohler Maestro Series Bathtub – Undermount is a two person model of cast iron bathtubs that comes in a wide variety of colors. Choose from white, wild rose, black, cashmere, ice grey, innocent blush, sandbar, sunlight or even tea green to compliment your bathroom decor. The Maestro Undermount costs less than $1,000 and has a 13 inch depth that holds plenty of water.

Making a private escape is easy with cast iron bathtubs, even when you are working with limited space. There are alcove and drop-in models that will fit neatly into any bathroom without causing an overcrowded look and feel.
