For many people, the tub is the focal point of a bathroom. With the advent of more designer options for the bathroom, the bathtub is becoming far more than just a place to get clean. From standard bathtubs for replacements or new construction homes, to whirlpool tub for the ultimate in relaxation, to throwback designer options, like cast iron clawfoot tubs, there are many different options to choose from. Standard Bathtubs If you are replacing a tub in an existing bathroom, consider a lightweight porcelain on steel bathtub, or a fiberglass or acrylic tub/shower unit. These units are meant either for new construction or to replace older tubs. These are more lightweight than older tubs, and are easy to maneuver into place. These pre-molded units are available with a variety of wall options, including some with molded-in shelves or seats. For new construction, cast-iron bathtubs are also available. These tubs are very durable and can last a lifetime. Porcelain on steel and cast-iron bathtubs are available in a variety of colors to match any decor. Whirlpool Tubs For new construction and bathroom remodeling, whirlpool and air massage tubs can create a spa-like atmosphere of relaxation. These tubs can be small enough to replace a standard bathtub, or a larger corner unit, providing ample space. Whirlpool tubs are usually cast acrylic or cast iron, and available in a variety of designer color options. Many whirlpool tubs will require a heater to recirculate the water, allowing for longer bathing while the jets are active. Whirlpool tubs will require a deck-mounted faucet to provide water to the tub, as the decks are normally larger to accommodate the jets underneath. Whirlpool tubs are available in two forms--drop in, where the tub sits up on a deck that allows the plumbing to be hidden underneath, and freestanding, which will sit on the limestone floor of the bathroom in a corner or recess, usually with an apron on the front. Drop-in tubs can be used with a variety of deck materials and decor options, providing designer options. Decor Tubs Other tub options are available as decorating options for people who want a particular style in their bathroom. Clawfoot tubs an create a victorian atmosphere, and are usually manufactured out of sturdy cast iron. Clawfoot tubs may have exposed plumbing, and require a faucet that can be mounted on the side or the rim of the tub. If this is a replacement tub, inspect your plumbing situation carefully first, and also note that your existing floor may not extend underneath your current bathtub. You may have to add or replace your flooring. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
