Clawfoot or antique tubs, although most popular in the 19th century in wealthy homes, have once again gained popularity in many homes. While originally they were made of iron with a porcelain finish, today they're offered in cast iron, porcelain or acrylic.
Walk in bathroom tubs are the perfect choice for handicapped, elderly and anyone with difficulty accessing bathtubs. They are the same size as a standard bathtub so installation is easy and quick.
Corner bathroom tubs are a choice for homeowners with limited space but open corners. Not only do they offer the same functions and materials as standard bathtubs but are a real space-saver.
Free standing tubs are great in homes that have a large bathroom. Unlike corner or standard bathroom tubs, the free standing tubs will be the focal point of your bathroom so you'll want to choose one that blends with your other bathroom fixtures and adds to the dcor of the room.
Whirlpool bathtubs are used in many homes today and are extremely popular for those that enjoy soaking in a tub after a long day. They're also great for soothing sore and achy muscles and joints.
