Wanting a bigger bath tub.

[I.B. Washincars]

We are going to remodel a bathroom in our house. It will involve knocking out a wall, which will about double it's size. We would like to have a bigger tub, but I'm having a hard time finding much, other than standard tubs. We don't want a whirlpool, oval, clawfoot, or anything exotic. We would like to have just an ordinary tub, only a bit larger. It seems that 60"L X 32"W is pretty much standard. Something 6" or so longer and maybe 4" wider would be great. Anyone know where I could find an animal like this? Hopefully a website with a good selection and pictures, if that's not asking too much.

I stayed in a Comfort Suites that had a big tub. I think it was longer, and it was definitely a good bit wider. It was an enameled tub, either steel or cast iron (Felt like cast, IIRC). I didn't think to check for a label.

I think what you are looking for is called a "soaking tub". Did you look on American standards website? If you scroll down half way you can select the style you want, then click "Browse products" there is a huge selection

I put one of these in my mother in laws house recently: http://www.americanstandard-us.com/bathtubs/town-square-6-foot-x-42-inch-bath-tub/ except the controls were at the end.
