- Will it fit a standard alcove?
- Yes. It is sized for a 60 by 36 inch alcove, the common three-wall tub opening in US bathrooms. Measure the rough opening and drain location before ordering.
- Is acrylic a good material for a soaking tub?
- Acrylic is light, warm to the touch and easy to clean, which suits remodels. It holds heat less well than cast iron, so a hot bath cools sooner.
- Does the tub need a mortar bed?
- Many installers set acrylic tubs in mortar or expanding foam to stop floor flex. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the approved method.
- Does it come with a drain or faucet?
- No. The tub is sold as the shell only, so plan for a separate drain and a deck- or wall-mounted filler.
- How does it compare with a freestanding tub?
- It uses the same alcove space as an old tub and needs no floor-mounted filler. A freestanding tub offers more design freedom but takes more floor space and a different plumbing setup.
