A durable, cost-efficient alternative to cast iron, the Princeton Americast Apron-Front Above Floor Bathtub with Luxury Ledge from American Standard is lighter than traditional cast iron tubs for easier installation. The exclusive Americast technology incorporates an easy-to-clean glossy enamel top layer, a steel center for strength, and a thick, insulating layer to keep water warmer longer. This above-the-floor rough alcove tub provides the needed space to plumb directly under the tub instead of relocating the drain. Featuring an extra-wide ledge for toiletries, a comfortable, contoured lumbar support, beveled headrest and safe, slip-resistant surface it offers a more enjoyable bathing experience.
