OMG! What a gorgeous bath tub! We have a lot of beautiful tubs, but my goodness, this freestanding slipper tub is so special.
Big & Beautiful
The tub is 71 inches end to end and 33.5 inches wide. The tall end of the slipper is 29.7″ and 18.5″ tall at low end. As far as tubs go, this is a big one. Generally, a tub this big is a double ended tub so that two people can be in the tub at once. Since this is a single slipper tub, it is for one person.
The roominess of this 71″ freestanding slipper tub proves to be very conducive for men and women. I have sold many of our beautiful tubs to men who love a tub big enough to truly stretch out and relax in. You will be bathing in 53 gallons of water which equates to 20 inches of water when the tub is full. A great thing about acrylic tubs is that they heat up very quickly when the hot water goes into it and the heat is maintained nicely.
Even though the tub does not have any legs that are visible to us, there are adjustable leveling legs inside the pedestal, so no matter what your floor situation is, you can have the tub quite level.
An added feature of the freestanding slipper tub WE6512 is that it includes a chrome pop-up drain and flexible drain pipe that connects the waste water drain to the home drain. Additionally, there is a chrome Overflow knob.
The drain hole and the overflow hole are both located at the low end or short end of the tub.
Freestanding Faucet
A few of my photos show the tub with a freestanding tower type tub filler. There are many styles of faucets that can be used for this tub, but I prefer something similar to what is shown. The tub itself is more of a contemporary style so it makes sense to have a modern style of faucet. I have provided a link so that you can easily go to the website to look at the numerous styles.
We offer nearly all of our freestanding faucets in polished chrome, brushed nickel and oil rubbed bronze. If you need something different, you can give The Tub Connection staff a call and see if there is something different available as a special order. The freestanding faucet is sold separately and can be found on this site by clicking the link to open the page for Tub Filler Towers.
Personally, I can see myself taking a bath in this tub, so I am going to get to work on my husband to see if I can get one for our next house.
We are starting a remodel very soon and hopefully there is a 71″ freestanding slipper tub in my future!
If you have something to contribute to my post about your love for slipper tubs, or if you have any questions or random comments for me, just jot down a few lines. I would love to hear from you.
Remember that shipping is always free when you order a tub from The Tub Connection.
