What are the different types of bathtubs?
Choosing a new bath tub is one of the more exciting remodeling decisions. This is your chance to get rid of that old, uncomfortable rectangle tub and upgrade to something rejuvenating, something massaging, something more like a whirlpool tub or a soft bathtub. Maybe you simply wish to improvement the look and feel of your old tub by covering it with a new shell. Bath tubs can either be freestanding or built-in. Freestanding tubs come in several styles. Some are sleek and some are classic. Built-in tubs can be your common tub/shower combination or even a modern style with additional computerized features. Enameled cast iron bathtubs are probably the best type of tub you can get. They are extremely durable with a lastly finish. However, they are also very heavy. If you are looking for the durability of cast iron, without the heaviness, you may want to invest in an acrylic tub that is reinforced with fiberglass. Also, certain tubs are made of just fiberglass, but the finish tends to fade
