American Standard Bathtubs

For years American Standard bathtubs have been used by millions of people worldwide. There are some very good reasons for this and here are some key points.

American Standard bathtubs are the most popular bathtubs in America. They have been produced since the 1800's. In 1883, American Standard perfected enameling of cast iron tubs which made it far easier to clean.

The company innovated and created the first built in bathtub in the early 20th century. Then in 1987 they introduced their Americast material which provided a lightweight alternative to cast iron.

Americast bathtubs are produced by pressing the tub from an alloy which has a very glossy porcelain finish applied to it. This material has been shown to help keep bath water hotter longer since the heat is reflected back into the water and not through the material.

American Standard produces many different styles, colors, and types of tubs. The prices can vary from $250 to over $1,500 each. There are round tubs, oval tubs, and the traditional rectangular style. And you can purchase the tubs in a wide variety of colors to suit your own individual style.

A recent sampling of some of the types of tubs which American Standard produces include the following:

If you're interested in a cost effective solution, the standard collection bath tub features a basic soaking bathtub made of acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement. Most of these tubs cost less than $500 each.

At a cost of around $800, the Town Square bathtub features a more angular and modern look. It is constructed of acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement. It is designed for two people and has duel backrest as well as dual molded in armrests. There are also extra components you can purchase to turn this tub into a whirlpool.

If you are interested in a corner style bathtub, be sure to check out the Cadet or the Scala line. Both of these tubs sell for under $1,000 each.

There are very good reasons why American Standard tubs have been around for so long and have been so popular. Check out the many styles and price points and see for yourself.
