 The images at right of Cleopatra clawfoot tub illustrate the difference between the acrylic interior and the faux cast iron exterior (inset image). Note the variation in the finish similar to traditional cast iron tubs.
All the clawfoot baths with the exception of the Virginia and Julius are finished by
first laminating the acrylic exterior with a thick coating of a fiber, resin and polyester
(FRP) mix, which is then painted with a gelcoat surface called Orange Peel. This
process produces an exterior surface that mimics the rough hewn surface of the
original cast iron baths they replace. Please examine carefully the image to the
right to be certain you would enjoy the appearance of the exterior. People either
love it or really dislike it. There is no middle ground and we do not accept returns
of these baths for aesthetic reasons.
