A durable, cost-efficient alternative to cast iron, the Princeton Americast Apron-Front 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. 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.
