In a bathroom, the Claw foot tubs are one of the most essential components. Every traditional bathroom is designed using these free standing tubs which greatly increase their functionality. With that these tubs add beauty and style to the bathroom. Whether you are installing a new claw foot tub or fitting an old one, adding shower risers and ceiling mount can enhance the functionality of the tub.

For installing the claw foot tub you require few components such as floor mounted tub filler to fit the tub, shower riser attachment for extending the rim, wall support for adding stability, shower heads for styling the tub, shower rod, ceiling support rods, shower curtain, shower curtain ring etc. The possible size of the tub filler available in the market are 3-3/8 inch, 8 inches. Moreover, the shower riser has the capacity to extend the tub rim up to 60 inches.

For a proper installation of the claw foot tub the riser and ceiling mount shower rod needs to be very carefully fitted. To ensure proper installation of the ceiling mount shower rod, and adequate support for the shower riser the accurate measurements needs to be taken so that the fitting can be made perfect. If possible place the claw foot tubs near to the wall so that it can utilize maximum wall support, else there is support from the shower ring. But the shower ring has a constraint that it will limit the height at which the ring can be installed.

The shower curtains used in the claw foot tubs are usually two or more which helps in keeping the water. When the user is not taking shower then the curtains can be pushed to the back of the tub so that the design is visible to everyone. With the curtain, the shower curtain ring is also a very essential element without which one cannot fix the curtains properly. Make sure you use the best quality rings. These days variety of colors and patterns are available in rings. Choose the one that suits your bathroom decor and matches well with the curtains.
