Antique bathtubs are an easy way to add sophistication, elegance and charm to any bathroom. This is especially true if you want to add character to a rather mundane bathroom with standard bathroom fixtures. With many different sizes and styles, there are antique looking bathtubs for any bathroom looking to add some refinement in a current bathroom.
When you have decided to go with an antique bathtub, there are many styles to choose from. Your best bet is to go on an image search and type in "antique bathtub", so you will find dozen of images of different styles of antique bathtubs. There you can find the perfect style of antique bathtub or claw foot tub for your bathroom and décor. Once you’ve found the style you want, now it’s on to decide whether to find an actual antique bathtub or a reproduction.
Buying an actual antique bathtub is a lot of work and can get costly. Aside from the time it takes to find an actual antique, a lot of the actual antique cast iron bathtubs need refinishing to bring back the shine and make it functional. Fixtures and the precut holes may be outdated and that is another issue that needs to be taken care of before implementing it into your design. The best choice to avoid the hidden costs of an actual antique is to opt for an antique reproduction.
Antique reproductions are modeled to fit the time period in which they were made. Being the first owner, there is no refinishing of the enamel and no concerns that the bathtub may be no longer a functional bathtub but really just an antique. Many of the reproductions are made of cast iron similar to the actual antique bathtubs. With the cast iron and preset holes for fixtures and drains, these beautiful antique looking tubs will not only add grace to your bathroom but also be a completely functional bathtub. At simplybathtubs.com, there are a wide selection of stunning antique bathtubs that come in various sizes and are modeled after different time periods. Whichever time period you are looking to copy in your bathroom, there is a bathtub for that specific time period. |
