Remodeling your Home to Include a Fiberglass Bathtub
Fiberglass bathtubs have earned a spot in many people’s bathrooms, but does one belong in yours?
The construction of a fiberglass bathtub
A fiberglass bathtub is a molded bathtub. To construct the tub, fine glass particles are pressed into a mold in layers and held together with resin. The resulting bathtub features a built-in wood frame for strength.
What can you expect from a tub made in this manner?
Pros of fiberglass bathtubs
-
They’re lightweight. Unlike a cast-iron bathtub, fiberglass units do not require the extra effort and expense of reinforcing the bathroom floor. They are also easy to unload and carry into the house—a definite plus if you will be taking on a remodel yourself.
-
They’re low cost. Molded fiberglass bathtubs are available at a variety of price points and, aside from steel tubs, are probably the cheapest option on the market.
