About Acrylic Alcove Bathtub & Shower Replacement
Acrylic Alcove Bathtub & Shower Replacement
If you’re considering an alcove bathtub, you’re likely asking yourself these questions:
- What different materials can be used in an alcove tub?
- What type of alcove tub is best for my project?
- How can I tell a cheap tub vs. a high-quality tub and what unexpected costs could I be stuck with if I buy a cheap tub which fails?
- Will this tub be easy on my back when I bathe the kids?
- When should I choose a deeper soaking tub vs. a lower bathtub which is easier to get into? What sizes are available?
- What are the benefits of alcove tubs vs. a freestanding, drop-in, or walk-in tub?
And if you’re struggling sifting through the endless bathtub replacement choices for a master, kids or guest bathroom and want practical insights into alcove tubs you’ve come to the right place. The bathtub specialists at Innovate Building Solutions provide straight answers to your questions. We’ll help you figure out which bathtub is best for your needs.
If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable alcove tub that is not only built to last but has a guarantee to prove it, you’ve come to the right place. Here are the features and benefits of DuraLine alcove tubs from Innovate Building Solutions.
- For the lower skirt models (14” and 18” high units), you’ll get a 25 year guarantee. For the 21” deep soaking alcove tub a 10 year guarantee! With cheap tubs in big-box stores and on the Internet you’re lucky if you get a 1 year guarantee and then if you tub cracks, who is going to pay the bill?
- Thicker acrylic surface provides more durability and minimizes scratching.
- Clean, contemporary ‘cube-shape’ design fits with bathroom trends. Say goodbye to the out-of-date design on the front of your tub today.
- A sturdy acrylic tub. The shorter (14” and 18” deck height tubs) weigh 75 to 80 lbs. and the deeper soaking tub weighs from 104 lbs. (for the 60 x 30 size) and 106 lbs. (for the 60 x 32 size). You’ll find lower quality acrylic and fiberglass tubs DO NOT share in their product specifications weight because they’re thin, light, and flimsy.
- Right and left hand drains eliminate the need to move plumbing in a tub replacement project.
- Patented slim profile maximizes the space inside – yet is stronger, thicker, and more durable than other tubs.
- With a 54 ¾” x 23 ½” to 25 ½” bathing well (for the lower deck models), you’ll have plenty of room to bathe the kids and to move around while showering.
- Matte finish (on shorter 14” and 18” tubs) doesn’t show scratches and compliments popular brushed nickel and matte black hardware finishes used in today’s stylish bathrooms. For the deeper soaking tub (with the 21” high skirt) you’ll get a shiny, high-gloss finish.
- One-piece design improves strength and durability.
- Integrated flat front skirt eliminates the cost of tile or wall panels across the front of the tub.
- Easy to clean cast acrylic.
- Anti-slip bottom meeting ADA (Americans with Disability Act) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) requirements.
- Highly resistant to staining.
- Integral flange ensures water doesn’t leak behind your tub and onto the floor below and speeds up the installation process.
- Overflow on all models.
- Non-porous. Dirt won’t accumulate on the surface like fiberglass.
- Established brands with years of bathtub innovation excellence.
