I was confused by all the materials when I was looking for a new tub for home remodeling. This video answered lots of my questions and helped me to make an informative decisions. Thanks

[Raychelletube]

I honestly feel like this video had a major life lesson. Think of all of the things we buy based on the name sounding like another thing. Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you for posting all these useful videos - we're trying to remodel a newly bought apartment and the choices are overwhelming. Your videos have been of great help!

[paulseitelman]

Thank you for the explaining all choices and including links. We are planning a bath remodel and now better understand the issues with different materials. Still a challenge to get the "mix" of desired material vs cost. Looking to replace what we think is a 70+ year old cast iron alcove tub which has some epoxy/resin repair on the upper edge. Considering fiberglass replacement but not plastic. However I have the [mis-?] perception that the 'bounce'/flex/feel of fiberglass is not as solid/lasting as cast-iron. Perhaps its the installation that will make the difference.

Thanks for the shout-out! Great informative video.

The example with acrylic nails and press on nails, LOL

[NNM]

Wow this was so informative! Thanks! I need a soft bathtub that’s long enough for tall people

[foodplug]

I’m currently looking for a large enough bathtub for me to lay in, so I found this video extremely useful:)

I like this video. It was veryy informative. The presenter is thoughtful and knowledgeable. A lot of crappy tuub materials out there. So I don't know what is a great qualityy tub. Can't evevn count on cast irron anymore apparently

[meljanfran]

Thanks for explaining what we are all afraid of knowing but should before making a huge investment like a spa tub.

[melindabrock]

Love it! Great analogy 💅🏻. Also love the backstory of Kohler

First, just wanted to say GREAT video, this is really comprehensive and gives an owner a really great primer into what they need to think about when choosing a tub. Thank you!! @RemodelMedia If you happen to see this question, do you know know how to identify Above Floor Rough (AFR) tubs? Our contractor says we need one, but AFR and Above Floor Rough do not seem common filters to find tubs. We found a couple of models by American Standard and MAAX but we are wondering if there's another way to identify them when the catalogs do not say it explicitly. Thank you again!

Very informative video. Thanks. I am looking at the "Ocala" tub from signature hardware. They call the material resin and solid surface. Do you have any idea what this material may be? It is more expensive than their acrylic tubs.

[RichardBrightwell]

Thank you! Really informative and enjoyable. One note of feedback for future videos... it felt like you were really close to the camera.

[christianbrother]

My tub is 53 years old and solid. It still looks amazing. I am keeping it.

[awesometaxes]

Thank you, I think I want the 2nd type tub you described

[AnneluvsKatz]

You left out the one I was most interested in 😕. What about porcelain coated steel?
