If you are looking to remodel or if you are building a new bathroom, try keeping it in the vintage style with an acrylic clawfoot bathtub. You can have all new new bells and whistles of the whirlpools and jets but keep the charm and warm feeling of the clawfoot tubs. With the new technology and workmanship of the leading manufactures of the industry, you will be amazed at how well these clawfoot tubs will fit into your lifestyle.
The term acrylic means a material containing acryl; a synthetic glassy 
thermoplastic that can be molded and cast into such items as bathtubs. Most acrylic tubs are made with two sheets of 1/4” sheets of high quality cast acrylic that is bonded together with a patented crushed stone/resin compound to give the tubs thickness, strength and weight. Using multi layers of material will make the tub about one inch thick. This will in turn eliminate flex or movement under normal circumstances. This process also produces a bathtub that has a high gloss shine inside and on the outside. The non porous interior surface will not discolor, stain, or retain any odors. These tubs are literally two tubs in one, the outer shell and the inner shell. Most of the acrylic clawfoot bathtubs are manufactured with a twenty five year warranty to retain its structural integrity and configuration.
While the acrylic clawfoot tub will maintain the look and the integrity of the original antique clawfoot tub, this technology will make the tub lighter then the cast iron. It will be warm and smooth to the touch and will not crack or rust over time. And the great addition to this tub is the fact you can add a whirlpool. And some of the whirlpools even have a remote contro. And you can buy a jet trim kit if you want the jets a different color to contract with your tub. Some of the contrasting finishes are the chrome, brass, satin nickel, old world copper and old world bronze.
You can also get all the same styles and designs as the traditional clawfoot bathtubs. The choice of faucets is wide open to a lot of different finishes and designs. The clawfoot shower tub can also be used with the acrylic clawfoot bathtub. This will allow to make full use of all the features available.
