Slipper vs Double Slipper

8 years ago

My fiancée and I are building a house, this means I finally get my dream claw foot tub. My dilemma is whether to go with a slipper or double slipper. I am 5” 5.5” so I’m worried the double slipper won’t have enough space to rest my feet. I’m also unsure what size to go with, but am thinking a 60”. I still have a ways to go as far as when I’ll need to order one, so I’m just wanting to do a little research before heading to a showroom.

Thanks!

A showroom is where you go first to sit in tubs until you find the one you like.I would also advise you make this decision before starting to build because the plumbing needs to be panned and also you will need a big bathroom to do a frestanding slipper tub so make sure that is in the plans. IMO they only look good when they have lots od sopace around them and also think about cleaning around the tub.

Patricia, thank you for your view points. I do plan on going to a showroom soon and as it is already in the plans the architect left enough room for one. One thing I did not consider is the cleaning aspect, so that is something to truly consider.

Thanks again!

Architects are not living in the space you are and IMO they are best not involved in the interior design of bathrooms and kitchens. Cleaning in a bathroom is the most important consideration so just make sure there is ample room all around the tub to get all the way down the wall to clean.
