- Will this fit a standard alcove?
- Yes. At 60 inches long and 30 inches wide it matches the most common alcove tub opening. Measure your rough opening and drain location before ordering.
- Is steel better than acrylic?
- Steel with enamel resists scratches and fading better and holds its finish longer. Acrylic feels warmer and quieter but can scratch and dull over time.
- Does it need a mortar bed?
- It is not required, but setting the base in mortar or a support bed reduces flex and creaking. A solid, level floor is essential.
- How deep is the soaking area?
- The tub is 14.25 inches high with a 30-inch depth spec, so it holds more water than a shallow builder tub. Check your water heater capacity for a full fill.
- What is included with the tub?
- The tub ships as the shell only. The drain, overflow, faucet and front apron or tile surround are sold separately.
- Can it be used for a shower?
- Yes, it is a standard alcove tub and works under a shower head. Add a shower curtain or door and make sure the surround is waterproofed.
