American Standard Tubs

American Standard tubs come in a great variety of styles - free standing, recessed tub, and corner bathtubs.

Why People Love These Tubs

The tubs are built so well and are so prevalent that, in addition to finding them in homes, you will find thousands of them in hotels, motels, and other business establishments across the country.

American Standard tubs make many of their tubs from a material called Americast. This is a proprietary material, created by American Standard, and is their alternative to cast iron - but of about one half the weight. In essence, it looks and feels like cast iron, with the benefit of not having the weight.

In terms of construction, at its center is a steel tub. It is coated on the outside by porcelain. On the inside it is coated by American Standard's proprietary material.

The unique tub structure also helps in protecting the porcelain finish from chipping. It is also one of the more durable bathtubs on the market.

The Most American Standard Tub Models

Three of the most popular American Standard Tubs are the Princeton, the Cambridge, and the Stratford. Standard colors are white, linen, bone, arctic, and black. Depending on the model that you get you can also install certain accessories. For example, many of the models are configured to allow the easy addition of a whirlpool. Other models have built in seats installed at either end of the tub.

Homeowners who have had one of these tubs installed also, to their surprise, find that it retains the warmth of the water longer than the traditional tub. Another benefit is that it usually costs less to install.

Since its acquisition of Safety Tubs in 2010, American Standard Tubs is also one of the largest suppliers of walk-in bathtubs. These are special tubs that are designed for elderly homeowners or residents, people who are obese, those with limited mobility, or for those who are disabled.
