The Calypso-BTClawACH73 is a beautifully crafted 73" French Bateau-style bathtub that combines classic charm with modern structural integrity. With approximately 52.5" of internal floor legroom, it offers a generously sized, comfortable bathing space that suits most bathers. The added length and ample width make it ideal for deep, restorative soaks.
The French Bateau is an iconic and highly sought-after design, known for its graceful, symmetrical lines and timeless silhouette. This version features a bright white high-gloss acrylic interior paired with an Aged Chrome - Pewter Tone exterior.
Aged Chrome - Pewter Tone Exterior: Our aged chrome exterior now features a subtly brighter, pewter-influenced tone while maintaining its highly realistic metal look. Each tub undergoes a meticulous five-step finishing process beginning with specialized primers, followed by a metallic liquid coating that contains 40% nickel particles. This high-nickel application is what creates the authentic, luminous chrome effect—without the weight or maintenance concerns of real metal. A final high-gloss spray enhances depth and sheen, and three coats of premium clear lacquer are applied to seal and protect the finish for long-lasting durability.
Made from high-grade, stain-, bacteria-, and scratch-resistant acrylic, the tub also includes a high-gloss, easy-clean, slip-resistant floor for added safety and hygiene.
Built using CoreAcryl construction, the tub incorporates fiberglass and resin reinforcement, an internal aluminum sheet layer, and a narrow insulating air gap for excellent strength and thermal retention. The reinforced base is weight-tested to 1100 lbs to ensure long-term performance and stability.
Please note: This tub is a comfortable size for most bathers.
