There isn’t anything quite like a clawfoot tub in a bathroom. It adds the kind of elegance and beauty that many other types of bathtubs simply can’t offer. Many people may think that putting together a claw foot tub shower kit is hard to find, install and costs a lot of money. However, none of that is true as there are many nice kits available to do a clawfoot tub shower conversion, they are very easy to install, and they don’t cost people a lot of money. This article will focus on one particular tub shower conversion kit on the market, some faucets for it, and how easy the conversion process is.
The Chrome plated Add-on Shower Set for Clawfoot Tub, model number R2X2300B, is an excellent claw foot tub shower kit. This entire custom shower kit is made out of solid brass and is plated with chrome, which makes it very durable and appealing to the eye. This kit has a solid 36″ ceiling support system that can handle a lot and connects to the wall with ease by way of a tub wall mount. There are not a lot of pieces to this kit, either, which makes it very easy to put together and install this showerhead and handshower kit.
There is only one major difference between one claw foot tub shower kit and another and that difference is generally the faucet that comes with it. The model mentioned previously in this article comes with a nice faucet that isn’t boring but it isn’t flashy, either. The Clawfoot Tub Shower Enclosure with Faucet, Showerhead, and Handshower Kit by Randolph Morris is a different kind of kit entirely, and it comes with a very different kind of faucet. So, the key is to find a kit that offers the kind of faucet one wants and the shower enclosure set, because there really isn’t a big difference between two kits otherwise.
The thing that stop many people from buying a clawfoot tub shower kit is that they do not think the conversion process is easy but that’s not true. It’s actually very easy to do. Many people can usually do it on their own, but someone that isn’t too much of a handy man can simply hire someone who can do it in no time at all. The last thing to do is buy a new shower curtain to match the polished nickel or brushed nickel of your new claw foot tub shower.
