Topic: Choosing the Best Bathtub
Q. I would like to purchase a bathtub. Is there any difference between porcelain over steel, fiberglass or the ABS heavy-duty plastic tubs?
A. There are three primary types of tub and shower units - less cast or steel:
1. Gel-coated fiberglass.
2. Acrylic reinforced with fiberglass.
3. Acrylic backed with a structural composite.
