Ahem, what I meant to say is that while the overlay wall things are convenient and functional, I prefer the aesthetic look and customizability (is that a word?) of tile. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] </span>

Re: bathtubs

I looked at the kiohler & sterling site.. I will go with tile & a tub but now there are so many choices,

vikrell, acrylic, cast iron.. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

What are the benefits/constraints of each kind? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img]

Re: bathtubs

I have a cast iron clawfoot. When the room is cold the tub is cold so hot water use would be a factor. I warm mine with a radiator electric heater but it's in my large bedroom. I also have insulation between that tub and the outside wall to help warm it.

On the plus side, once the clawfoot is warm, it will keep water hot for up to a couple of hours.

Re: bathtubs

Nanook!!

Thanks for the feedback.. I love the look of a clawfoot tub but with my 2 jingbang kids I could see them doing damage in it.. I can also understand why it would be in a large bedroom.. What a classic look!!

Re: bathtubs

<span style="color: #3333FF">I love clawfoots, too, I love the look and depth of them. But I also like the idea of a jetted, two-person tub. But this is not for the master, is it?

Re: bathtubs

Kia, the current issue of HOME is about just this - tub type choices, material constructions with pros and cons, etc. I will pop an issue in the mail to you if you don't have it. (I got two by mistake).
