Big Easy Bathtubs has announced the expansion of its professional clawfoot tub installation services, offering homeowners comprehensive solutions for bathroom fixture upgrades. The company specializes in the complete installation process for clawfoot bathtubs, addressing the unique requirements and challenges associated with these distinctive fixtures that have remained popular for their visual appeal and functionality.
The installation service provided by Big Easy Bathtubs encompasses every aspect of bringing a clawfoot tub into a home, from initial assessment through final placement and connection. The company's approach recognizes that clawfoot tub installation differs significantly from standard bathtub installation due to the freestanding nature of these fixtures and their specific plumbing requirements. Unlike built-in tubs that rely on surrounding walls for support and concealment of plumbing, clawfoot tubs require carefully planned water supply and drainage systems that accommodate their standalone design.
According to the service details, Big Easy Bathtubs handles the preparatory work necessary for successful clawfoot tub installation, including floor reinforcement assessment and plumbing configuration. The company's technicians evaluate whether existing bathroom floors can support the substantial weight of a filled clawfoot tub, which can exceed several hundred pounds when occupied. This assessment proves particularly important in older homes or upper-floor bathrooms where structural considerations may require additional support measures.
The plumbing work completed by Big Easy Bathtubs for clawfoot tub installations involves routing water supply lines and drainage systems to accommodate the exposed nature of these fixtures. The company's installers work with various faucet configurations common to clawfoot tubs, including wall-mounted fixtures, floor-mounted options, and rim-mounted faucets that attach directly to the tub itself. Each configuration presents distinct installation requirements that the company's experienced technicians address based on the specific tub model and bathroom layout.
Big Easy Bathtubs also provides guidance on selecting appropriate clawfoot tub styles and materials for individual homes. The company works with various tub materials including cast iron, acrylic, and copper, each offering different weight profiles, heat retention properties, and maintenance requirements. Cast iron clawfoot tubs, known for their durability and heat retention, require the most substantial floor support, while acrylic versions offer lighter alternatives that may suit certain structural situations. The company's consultation process helps homeowners understand these material differences and their installation implications.
The positioning of clawfoot tubs represents another area where Big Easy Bathtubs provides expertise during installation. Because these tubs stand freely in the space rather than against walls, their placement affects both the visual impact and the practical functionality of the bathroom. The company considers factors such as access to natural light, proximity to plumbing connections, and overall room flow when determining optimal tub placement. Proper positioning also ensures adequate clearance around the tub for comfortable access and cleaning.
Beyond the basic installation, Big Easy Bathtubs addresses finishing details that complete the clawfoot tub integration into the bathroom. This includes sealing and waterproofing the area around the tub, even though these freestanding fixtures do not require the extensive waterproofing of alcove installations. The company also handles the installation of accessories commonly paired with clawfoot tubs, such as handheld shower attachments, shower curtain rods designed for freestanding tubs, and decorative elements that complement these fixtures.
The company has developed its clawfoot tub installation services as part of a broader commitment to providing homeowners with proper fixture installation that ensures functionality and longevity. Big Easy Bathtubs recognizes that clawfoot tubs represent significant investments for homeowners, both financially and in terms of the visual character they bring to a space. The company's installation approach aims to protect that investment through proper technique and attention to the specific requirements of these distinctive bathtubs.
Big Easy Bathtubs serves residential customers seeking to add or replace clawfoot tubs in their homes, whether as part of comprehensive bathroom renovations or as standalone upgrades to existing spaces. The company's experience with various clawfoot tub styles, materials, and installation scenarios enables it to handle projects ranging from straightforward replacements in homes previously equipped with these fixtures to new installations in bathrooms originally designed for conventional built-in tubs.
The expanded availability of professional clawfoot tub installation services from Big Easy Bathtubs responds to continued homeowner interest in these fixtures that combine traditional design with modern manufacturing quality. The company continues to accept inquiries from homeowners planning clawfoot tub installations and provides consultations to assess individual project requirements.
