Oversized Bathtub History

Bathtubs have evolved over time from a cut off barrel with a stool in it. These rough tubs were often used once per week and were quite uncomfortable. Back in the day, bathing was not done every day the way we do now. As bathing became more frequent, bathtubs changed. Kohler was at the forefront when they enamel baked a cast iron horse trough to create a bathtub where a full grown man could recline. Today we have many styles to choose from including size, shape, and color. We also have choices in materials used such as fiberglass, acrylic, cast iron and more. There are jetted styles, combination shower and bathtub styles, freestanding styles, built in styles, square and rectangular. And there are the oversized bathtubs that provide the ultimate in luxury.

A bath is no longer a chore and part of a bathing routine. We use showers for hygiene purposes. The bathtub is reserved for relaxation and luxury. The bathroom itself is now one of the most important rooms in the house. A complete oasis can be created with every creature comfort possible, from flat screen televisions to built in stereos that play mp3's, heated towel racks, candle holders, incense burners, picture windows, gas fireplaces, heat lamps and more. You can practically move into the bathroom and live very comfortably. Oversized bathtubs in an oversized room can be enjoyed alone or in a romantic setting. It can also be enjoyed with friends with clothing optional.

Inspired by the Italian inventors who made them of stone, these tubs do not have any inhibitions. They are a bold piece for anyone who has the personality to match.
