Old Style Clawfoot Tub
The old style claw foot tub is what many people recall when you mention a corner soaking tub. These tubs can be placed in the corner of your bathroom but you will require additional space for placement. If you have a larger bathroom; these are beautiful. Not all require claw feet to stand upon. There are models of corner soaking tubs that sit on a pedestal and those that can be surrounded with an enclosure to set them off. The main feature of this tub is the shape inside. They’re very roomy and come in a slipper or double slipper version. These corner soaking tubs are elevated at one or both ends; depending on which you choose. This allows you to stretch out in a semi- upright position in the tub.
Standard Soaking Corner Tubs
Standard corner soaking tubs are available in curved, angled and hexagon shaped fronts. They also come in recessed or freestanding platform models. The majority of the tub in a recessed model of corner soaking tub will be below the level of your bathroom floor after installation. The freestanding platform model requires a platform that rests on you floor. After the tub is properly set on the platform and plumbed, a surrounding enclosure will need to be built. You can be very creative with the enclosure if you are looking to have a corner soaking bathtub retreat.
Small Soaking Corner Tubs
Small corner soaking tubs are engineered for the small bathroom. In as little as a four foot square corner space; you can put a corner soaking tub. The space saving design can be purchased in a model that accommodates two people. Most corner soaking tubs have built in seats so the bather can sit totally immersed in the bath water.
Many manufacturers offer a whirlpool option with their corner soaker tubs. This is a perfect way to complete your corner soaker tub. This is water massage therapy at its finest; all in the privacy of your own home.
If a total body experience with water easing your cares away is a dream of yours…..then perhaps a corner soaking tub should be in your future.
