Has anyone bought a Jason Whirlpool tub or a corner tub 55×55?
kk18style We did not purchase a Jason model as we settled on a Kohler set in. Since the tub in on the bath deck, we did not desire a tub that sits up on the deck as does a conventional tub in the typical bathroom arrangement. A set-in fits on the deck floor like your kitchen sink arrangement sets-down-into the counter top. Because the tub is a set-in, it does not need finished sides, which you refer to as a lateral skirt. The lateral skirt hides the rough mold finish of the actual exterior, tub sides. You ask if the skirt should be obtained from the manufacturer or custom made? My suggestion is to get the manufacturer’s designed skirt produced specifically for that model tub, which is the Lateral Skirt DSK55. Their skirt will be more economical than a custom made.
