Americast Tubs
Does anyone have any info about Americast tubs. They are much lighter to
handle than other tubs but how durable are they? Will they scratch easily? How about Swanstone? |

We had our share a fiberglass, acrylic and porcelain
tub/showers. The Americast looks very nice. Looks like a porcelain finish. That means you could scrub it clean with any cleaner. I’m looking at the Cambridge model right now, with the whirlpool option. That’s if we stick with a 5 foot tub. That’s the only disadvantage I could see, they don’t make many models/sizes in Americast. Let us know if you get one? Deke wrote: Does anyone have any info about Americast tubs.

I forgot and used Comet on my sink. A piece of the finish came off- looks like a chip. I would not use Americast again. No real advantage, and not worth the hassle, IMO. |
