Article Surfing ArchiveIs An Unusual Bathtub Right For You? - Articles SurfingBathtubs can be great - regular tubs let you soak your worries away, while whirlpool tubs take a more active approach to relieving you of your tensions. Beyond these standard types of tubs, there are other styles, "unusual" styles, at least to us, that you might not be aware of, but that may be just right for you! Let's take a look at these: * Wooden bathtubs put you in touch with history,and give you a sense of what a bathing experience your ancestors had. While a wood bathtub will provide a unique look to your bathroom, bear in mind that wood and water do not mix that well, so your wood tub will not last as long as those made of materials like acrylic and cast iron. * Japanese bathtubs, or Ofuro tubs, are built for total immersion, all the way up to the neck. They are twice as large as the average American tub, and are designed for sitting in. Ofuru bathtubs are unparalleled for relaxation, and in Japan, form the centerpiece of the bathing ritual. While they are fairly difficult to find in the USA (only a few stores, like Genki USA, carry them), they are well worth it. * Roman tubs have some ambiguity associated with them, as the definition may vary, depending on whom you ask. According to some, Roman bathtubs have the faucet in the middle of a long side, vs the end, while others say that is an oversized soaking tub,and yet others say they are above ground tubs resting on legs or a pedestal. Generally, these tubs are indeed designed for soaking, and tend to be larger than your standard tub. They are difficult to find, as only a few manufacturers like Galaxy Aquatics make them. The point is, do not just settle for any old tub - the bathtub universe is much larger than you would have imagined, and there is a right one for you, even if it may seem a bit "unusual".
