The Clawfoot Bath Tub was invented during the Victorian Era (1835-1903) and were made using a white porcelain coating and their shape came from the cast iron base that was used. In order to obtain a hard slippery surface to the bath molten porcelain was poured into it.

There are 2 basic kinds of Clawfoot Bath Tub around and these are the European and American styles. The European style tends to have no drilling for faucets as they are an external feature to the bath and will be either wall or floor mounted. Thus the level of water that can be placed in the bath is deeper, but it does have holes for the water to drain away and also for any overflow that may occur.

The other style called American, not only has holes where the taps (faucets) can be fitted but also comes with an overflow and drain as well.

Also as well as these 2 kinds of Clawfoot Bath Tubs there are also a number of different styles which include the Classic, Slipper, Double Ended and Pedestal kinds.

When it comes to the Clawfoot Bath Tub there are usually only 2 choices from which these are made the first being Acrylic (gaining popularity very quickly) and cast iron (the more traditional material that has been used).

The benefit of having a Clawfoot Bath Tub made from cast iron is that they will be as close to the original as you can get and not only do they look the same but they weigh pretty much the same as well. The feel of an authentic vintage Clawfoot Bath Tub is that it will be smooth with a very subtle textured finish and there may be some minor surface irregularities.

Whilst an Acrylic Clawfoot Bath Tub is that although it can provide you with the look and integrity of a cast iron version it is about 40% lighter and will be warm and smooth to the touch, plus it will not rust or crack as time passes. Plus when touched the bath does not feel cold like the porcelain of a cast iron one does. Also acrylic tubs are crafted from a mixture of high grade sanitary acrylics, ceramic powders, polyester resins and fiberglass. It is also important to remember that an Acrylic Clawfoot Bath is easier to clean than the cast iron version and also the lighter weight of the Acrylic version makes it easier to move them around and they are available in a wide range of different lengths.
