Here are some ideas others have used to enhance their standard corner tub.
• Use rock work to cover your standard corner bathtub surround. This is achieved by framing in around your standard corner bathtub and then boxing it in with plywood and concrete sheet rock. After these items are in place, rock that has been cut into thin slices is applied. Care is taken to place the rock into a random pattern that fits closely together. Concrete grout is used to adhere the rock in place and fill between the pieces of rock.
• Use board paneling such as tongue and grove around your standard corner bathtub. Tongue and groove adds a more natural or rustic look to your standard corner tub. If your home is a log cabin or has a rustic décor; this may be a nice touch to accent the standard corner tub in your bathroom.
• There is a large selection of other wood and faux wood paneling available for enclosing your standard corner bathtub. For a more elegant spa appearance, these work well.
• Brick or block stone is a dramatic option. You must check your subfloor for any needed reinforcement if you haven’t already. Checking the ability of your floor to carry the weight load of your standard corner bathtub and its enclosure is important if you will be installing a standard corner bathtub. If your standard corner bathtub has already been installed, do not worry. You can still add floor reinforcement to accommodate the added weight of your chosen enclosure.
• There are a variety of faux decorative rocks when the real thing is not practical. These are easy to install and do not add the weight associated with real stone. They tend to be pretty cost effective as well.
