RE: Recommendations for 'Shower-Friendly' Bathtubs (Follow-Up #2)

posted by: formosalily on 05.28.2007 at 08:29 am in Bathrooms Forum

Thanks for clarification, live_wire_oak. Kohler 5' "Tea-for-Tow" is the most roomy soaking tub I can find but it doesn't say if it comes with integral tile flange (the 5.5' does has the integral tile flange option). Can I safely assume that any tubs which fit into a standard 5' alcove will come with integral tile flange? Or is it not necessarily true?

Here is a link that might be useful: KOHLER Tea-for-Two® 5 ft bath

RE: Drop in tub as a shower combo? Size of surround? (Follow-Up #5)

A universal tiling kit is a strip that the installer glues to the tub so that there is a vertical surface behind the bottom of your wall. You bring the walls down over it. Some contractors like it; some don't. It's used a lot in my area and I've never had anyone complain about it.
As for the mounting area for a drop-in, you can usually come straight down at the edges. You only need that extra lip around the tub if you want a place to set stuff, or you like the look of a platform around your tub--but you might want to try to get a look at the installation instructions for the tub you are interested in, before you order it.

I am also getting a drop in soaking tub and using it as a shower. It does not come with a tile flange. I called the manufacterer, Porcher, and they said I could purchase a universal tile flange kit. I am not a pro so maybe someone else will add something.

RE: shower/tub combo or shower only in master bath (Follow-Up #1)

I personally would want a tub and shower, but if you absolutely can't fit in both, do a large and very high end on the luxury shower.

We didn't think we could fit both in our master but we found a 40" round japenese soaking tub to sit in a corner. Have you looked at every option? We got creative and made both fit in the space.
