The Clawfoot Tub is Back in Style
If you are considering having a clawfoot tub installed in your bathroom, your grandmother is probably rolling over in her grave right now. This is because, while this style of tub put in many years of good service in households around the planet it had gone out of style long before all of them began to be replaced.
In fact, back in the 50s having a tub of this sort in your bathroom meant that you were just one step away from out door bathroom facilities.
When the clawfoot tub was replaced by the solid encased modern looking bath tubs, no one in their right mind could have imagined that they would ever “claw” their way back into the modern bathroom.
A good portion of the clawfoot tubs that were removed from peoples bathrooms found their way out into pastures where they made great watering troughs for horses and cattle, and many of them are still out there to this very day because they are so indestructible.
It was some time not that too long ago that people began to rediscover their appeal.
Clawfoot tubs were actually replaced by an inferior, less quality product when they were replaced so long ago. To start with, a this tub is beautiful to look at and is solidly built. They are also very comfortable, because the they were designed and shaped to actually fit the human form.
If you have never bathed in a clawfoot tub you will find it easy to fall asleep in when you are in one, because they are so long and have a nice slope in the back end.
They truly are an antique that should have never been replaced in homes.
