Deep Cast Iron Freestanding Soaker Tub

[Adawgie88]

We are gearing up for a new build. One of the million decisions we have to make is for the tub. We will have a nice, very large master bath and I'm a big dude (6'4", 260) so we were looking for a big, deep cast iron freestanding soaker tub. The Mrs. does not life clawfoots, so that's out. I've looked high and low and the deepest I can find to overflow is 15". That seems shallow to me. Am I being silly?

There are a lot of acrylics out there that are 17-18" deep to the overflow, but man, I'd just prefer cast. So much more sturdy.

Any freestanding iron tub models come to mind?

Appreciate y'all.

It's the weight of the iron that keeps then on the short side and being able to man handle it into position with three walls. A standard 5' tub is ~350 lbs. You'll need a lot of room and a floor that can support the weight, 50 gallons of water and a person (or two).

• 71" Dimensions: 70-3/4" L x 31-1/4" W (front to back) x 27" H (± 1/2"). Water capacity to overflow: 53 gallons. Weight uncrated/crated: 575/685 lbs.

You're at about 1,000 lbs in use but the spec reads 13.75" to overflow? Go figure?
