Last night I was chatting with some folks about shopping. It has become very clear that people, especially the current generation, shops almost exclusively online. This fellow was explaining that he and his family purchase nearly everything they need and want online, even groceries when they want to buy in bulk. There is a trust that has been established with providers of goods that are offered on line and that is why people are willing to pay for something they have not seen or touched.
I guess that is why The Tub Connection is one of the leading providers of cast iron pedestal tubs like the Polk. The days of having to go to the store to buy big items like bathtubs are in the past. We can trust that they pay attention to detail and the promise of quality items at great prices is for real.
The Polk is a one piece, cast iron, pedestal, double ended bathtub. Now that is a lot of adjectives but they draw a vivid picture in your mind of what this tub is made of and how it looks. Cast iron means it is solid, heavy, iron and it will last forever. Pedestal means the tub is nestled into a base that has no legs. Double ended tells us that the tub is the same height on both ends instead of raised on one or both ends like a slipper style tub.
The tub is cast in a mold and once removed it is heavily painted in milky white and covered in a clear coat that prevents scratches or scrapes. If you decide to purchase this tub and you have your heart set on a custom painted tub, The Tub Connection can do it for you. There are no restrictions on color choices, you choose whatever color you want, give their helpful staff the color code on the back of the color chip and they have their laboratory mix the paint. The most beautiful tub I have ever seen was a double slipper tub that was painted Verbena Green. Oh, it was dreamy!
Something else you may want to consider if you are going to purchase a pedestal tub online is you may as well look at the plumbing you can find online as well. Fortunately, The Tub Connection has all of the best faucet styles that match this specialty style of tub. You won’t be able to find an appropriate faucet at the local hardware or plumbing store. The faucet requirements to really show off your cast iron tub is going to be something a bit grand. A British Telephone style of faucet will complete the look nicely. Seriously, if you are going to spend the money on a fabulous tub. you have to have a magnificent faucet!
Just imagine yourself soaking in a tub that has nearly 14 inches of water, but make sure it is a bubble bath! Glamorous and sensuous are the two words that come to my mind. You should check out the other Cast Iron Pedestal Tubs and faucets that are available and try to narrow it down to just one of each. There are so many to choose from, but do your best!
