Verolux 244 Cast Iron Clawfoot Bathtub, 170 cm

The base of Verolux 244 is reinforced under the standing area, which is where a bathtub actually takes its load.

Nothing about the shape is fragile once it's installed — the risk is entirely in getting it up the stairs.

It is built in cast iron: cast iron with a fired enamel coating, the traditional material because nothing else holds heat as long once the water's in. Ten years of daily use leaves a door seal or a roller tired long before the glass or the tub itself gives up.

Care

Wipe down after use and avoid abrasive cleaners on acrylic or stone resin — they dull the finish permanently. Cast iron and copper only need occasional polishing to keep their look.
