Many people that are building or remodeling their bathrooms have made the decision to use the clawfoot bathtub. While many people enjoy the sit down bath, a lot of people would rather use the stand up shower. It is now possible for you to have the best of both worlds. The clawfoot shower tub allows for the transformation of any design of clawfoot bathtub to become a shower as well. The clawfoot bathtub of any design, from the antique clawfoot bathtub to the newer acrylic clawfoot bathtub can use the shower enclosure set. This is great for the times when you are in a hurry and do not have the extra time for the the relaxing, soaking bath that the clawfoot tub allows.
To turn one of the clawfoot bathtubs into a clawfoot shower tub, the shower tub enclosure set will have to be installed. The enclosure set usually will include the shower, the enclosure ring and the enclosure ring fittings that allow you to hang the enclosure ring. Many of the shower curtain enclosure manufactures offer a few simple instructions for hanging the enclosure ring so it will be the right height.. First, hold the curtain with a few of the curtain rings attached on the shower curtain to help determine where to install the clawfoot shower bathtub. This will help you to determine where to hang the shower curtain enclosure.
Most of the enclosure sets do not include the shower curtain or the shower curtain rings. But the industry has realized the need for a shower curtain to fit the enclosure ring. It was necessary before to use three or four different curtains to close up the tub. This lead to several different problems. First the unsightly seams was a bother and also unpleasant to look at. The seams would open and allow water to escape to the floor, causing the person to have to clean up the mess or have damage to the floor over a period of time. Also the gaps of the seams would allow for the drafty cold air also.
The enclosure curtains can be purchased along with a wide variety of shower curtain rings. There are many different styles and finishes to help you to match your own personal decor. Also do not forget to look for the different accessories to help finish to complete look of the bathroom. Items like a soap dish or even new clawfeet are available. Even items like the feet coasters are available.
The use of the clawfoot shower tub will allow for the complete use of the clawfoot bathtub experience. Along with the clawfoot shower curtain, now you can enjoy the best of the sit down baths when you have time but also the stand up shower when you are in a hurry.
