• One of the primary considerations when selecting your new
tub pertains to the actual size. This often closely correlates
to the amount available space in your bathroom. We advise you
measure the tub’s planned location along with any extra room
required for plumbing fixtures (faucets, drains, etc.). Quick
access to the plumbing for any possible upkeep is also advisable.
Generally speaking, we recommend having a minimum of 4” space
between the tub and all surrounding bathroom walls.
• Please make sure to measure entryways, stairwells, door openings, etc. to ensure you have adequate space for which to fit the tub. Removal or expansion of doors and other openings may lead to extra labor costs.
• If you install the tub above the first floor, some of the heavier tubs (stone) might require extra help for transportation. Further, these tubs may need extra reinforcement beneath the finished floor if it wasn’t originally constructed for bearing such a weight load (please consult your contractor about this).
• As a general guideline on selecting tub length, we recommend you sit down with your legs outstretched. Then, using a tape measure, check the length from your hip to your heel to see whether you would comfortably fit in the tub.
