What are Drop-In Bathtubs?

Drop-in bathtubs can be built from a variety of materials, including fiberglass, cast iron, or solid surface materials. Fiberglass is a relatively inexpensive material and is ideal for a small bathroom. Other durable materials include acrylic and cast iron. To make the drop-in bathtub more durable, look for bathtubs made of solid surface materials.

These tubs are space-efficient, and come in a variety of styles. They can also be deeper on the inside than traditional bathtubs. Whether you want a more upscale spa experience or an authentic bathing experience, drop-in tubs offer a solution. You can find drop-in bathtubs made of fiberglass, acrylic, solid surface, and cast iron. Some of these tubs even come with built-in frame support, enabling you to install one without any extra framing or support.

When installing a drop-in bathtub, you must take certain precautions. Before you begin, you must prepare the area for the tub and adjust the plumbing. The bathtub must be positioned flush with the recess, and it must fit securely. If you do not have a plumbing background, it is best to seek professional help.

Another difference between drop-in and freestanding bathtubs is how they are installed. A drop-in bathtub is installed into a framed enclosure, usually a bathroom wall. Its frame can be tiled or wood, and the outside of the bathtub is hidden. These bathtubs are popular due to their affordability, wide range of styles, and versatility. Drop-in bathtubs can also be freestanding or have a freestanding tub, giving you a lot more freedom to decorate the surrounding area.
