HAHAHAHA,,,, “make sure that you purchase a shower liner of at least 15mm thickness.” That is OVER a 1/2 inch thick!!! you know how heavy this would be?

I am looking for ready made shower curtains and liners that are shorter and will showcase my beautiful ball foot tub. Any suggestions other than sewing ? I would love to see my beautiful tub when curtains are closed.

Hello again!

We are well on our way of planning and starting to purchase the fixtures for our June renovation. We will be purchasing a 31×67 double ended clawfoot tub. My question is, what size enclosure do I buy? I really like the “oval” shape but am unclear functionally AND asthetically, do I go larger or smaller than the tub? Seems as though my choices are 32×72 or 30×60. What looks better, works better?

Thanks,
Jess

Sorry Rob, I’m not familiar with the Australian market but I would think that even if you were to have a so-so shower rod shipped from the US that it would be less than that total. Check with vintage tub for starters.

I can’t find an oval ceiling mount rail in Australia anywhere for under 800 bucks!

Do you know of one?

Cheers

Rob.

1- Yes
2- depends on the pipes but I would say a minimum of 4 – 5 inches
3 – You could… and that would just be a regular shower head and faucet… just like what you would use in a regular bathtub.. Just make sure the wall can support it and is sealed somehow.

I’m interested in a “free standing” faucet for a clawfoot tub bathroom renovation but have a couple of questions.

1) Can you have a 2 handle faucet, hand shower AND stand up shower with enclosure?
2) How much space do you need for the freestanding “piping” (aka how much space does it require from the outside rim of tub to the wall?). For example we have a 70″ space and I’d like to put in a 66″ tub. Is this doable or will it be and look “too tight”.

3) Can I have a faucet and shower head come directly out of the wall and overhang the tub? What kind of faucet would that be?

Thanks,
Jess

Sounds like a great house, maybe you can send me a picture of the bathroom when you’re done. Now, about the curtain… The curtain is confusing at first and there are a number of “blocks” as you put it along the way with the shower rod attachment points. This is where the multiple curtains come into play. So if you have two attachment points then you would need two curtains, one to handle each “section” that is blocked off. If you have 3 connector points then you will probably need 3 sections but depending on the spacing you may be able to make it with one small curtain and one really long one, you can see a 180 inch curtain in the Amazon ad at the bottom of this article: http://www.clawfoottubshowers.com/clawfoot-tub-shower-curtain/ – Well, I hope that helps and one last thing, if you look at the last image in the gallery on this page you will see a two curtain setup really clearly.. maybe that helps?? Let me know.

We are looking to redo our bathroom in our 1905 bungalow, I want to do a clawfoot, but feel completely confused about how the curtain works! There is a number of connectors to the wall, to the ceiling, to the shower head that would seemingly block the passing of the curtain. Can you help me understand? Also, we will have the tub up against a wall (length of tub) that has a window I love to look out of when I shower. Help me understand! Thanks!

Hi Pauelette, I can’t really tell the Width because there are so many different sized clawfoot tubs. The height is easy to figure, just measure from the floor of the tub up to the height of your shower curtain then go 2 inches higher to hang your rod. For me to help on the width though I would need to know your tub length, end to end, the curtain circumference etc.. Even without knowing all of that, my advice is always to error on the side of getting a curtain that is too long.

I have a 71″ width wall and have just purchased a double curved adjustable shower rod. How do I measure properly the height needed for the shower curtain rod, and then how do I measure for the liner and the decorative exterior shower curtain. The tub inside is slightly higher then the floor so the liner would have to be shorter when fitting inside the tub. Is there a standard height when placing the shower rod and if you have a 71″ wide wall, how much wider should your shower curtain be.

thanks

Hi Geoff, my advice is to always go a little bigger and just let the curtain drape inside the tub. It will give you a little more room, which you will appreciate over time.

I am looking to purchase a 54″ L x 30″ W clawfoot tub and would like a recommendation on the size of the oval ceiling mounted curtain frame. Would a frame of 54″ L x 30″ W be the right size, or should I go smaller or bigger?

I’ve almost always seen multiple curtains used. Occasionally I will someone use a single curtain but it’s make installation more difficult OR it limits the use of the shower.

I have a claw foot tub that I am getting ready to enclose with a shower ring. With the curtain rods I have found there are ceiling and wall mounts. Then there is the subject of a one piece curtain. How does the curtain get around these mounts?

Jacob, I’ve wondered the same thing as we have been remodeling our bathroom across the last 2 months. To go all the way around, you’ll generally need 2 curtains (as you see in most of the pics above). Just leave one of the seams at the shower supply line, which is also right at the handles. Then you can drape it to either side of the spigot. It may allow an occasional drop to get out, but most of the splash happens toward the sides and back anyway.

The curtains usually meet where the faucet is so I can understand why that would be a problem. I do not suggest cutting a slit in your shower curtain though as it would surely grow into a tear over time. I would agree with you approach of having the curtain open where the faucets are.. and send me a picture when you’re done!!

The faucets of my claw tub shower are outside of the shower curtain and it is difficult to adjust the hot/cold water…what is the solution? Do I cut a slit? Do I have the long 180″ curtain opening where the faucets are?
Thanks!
