Classic Style Tubs

Classic Clawfoot Tubs and Pedestal Bathtubs have exploded in popularity over the last few decades. Initially popular during the early 1900's, those vintage tub designs have once again risen in popularity as homeowners are opting for quality bathtubs which are beautiful and affordable at the same time. Since the mid 1990's purchases of clawfoot tubs and other classic designs have risen dramatically and now make up a significant part of the bathtub industry. You can find out more about the early history of clawfoot bathtubs here.

Some of the appeal can be from memories of Grandma's house. Older homes often had original or antique clawfoot tubs in them. For others, the movies that featured clawfoot tubs showed them in their best light and allowed us to see how a clawfoot tub can add romance to our lives. Some movies that featured clawfoot tubs are; The Bridges of Madison County with Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, The Notebook movie by Nicholas Sparks, It's Complicated with Steve Martin, Meryl Streep and Alex Baldwin, Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson and Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. There are numerous other titles, these are but a few to get the point across. Clawfoot tubs are glamorous and romantic and you can have this Affordable Elegance in your home.

One of the things which make these tubs so popular is the ability one as to create a look and feel that they want most. For example, each one of our clawfoot bathtubs offers a choice in claw foot finishes. The most-requested finishes recently have included Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. We also offer several other claw foot finishes such as black, white, polished brass and others. The fact that our beautiful cast iron and acrylic tubs can be customized by painting the exterior is so surprising to some, however, we want each tub that leaves The Tub Connection to be the exact tub that you have been looking for to create the bathroom of your dreams. So choosing a paint color for our technicians to apply to your tub, along with a clear coat to eliminate chipping or peeling, is another option to fully customize one of our Tub Connection Tubs.

Shower and Faucet Fixtures

Along with the feet on the clawfoot tubs, you may choose a variety of finishes for our shower and faucet fixtures. These match beautifully with our selection of bathtubs and combine to make a desirable combination for your home. The faucets come in a variety of styles (freestanding faucets, deckmount faucets, and bathtub wall mount are the most popular styles). The most-requested finishes once again are chrome, brushed nickel, and oil rubbed bronze. You can easily match these with the feet of a clawfoot tub, should that be the style of tub you choose. One of the most impressive details about shower and faucet kits is that when purchased for Clawfoot Tubs, they don't use any additional floor space. All of the plumbing fixtures are within the rim of the tub, so a 72 inch long x 32 inch wide tub only takes up that much space and the plumbing goes up in height and not out in area.

Other Tub Styles

Here at The Tub Connection, we offer not only clawfoot tubs, but pedestal tubs as well. In addition to these style of soaking bathtubs, we offer copper tubs, faux marble tubs, and wood bathtubs as well. We offer them in a wide variety of sizes (in most cases) so you will be able to find not only the style which works best for you, but also the size. Pedestal tubs are a perfect choice for people who love the look of the free standing tub, but like the low maintenance of a tub that sets directly on the floor. Copper and Wood tubs are unique in that they can add such richness to a bathroom. Our Copper tubs are hand hammered so each tub is unique and our wood tubs are one of a kind because they are made of wood and not molded. They add such amazing, functional beauty.
