impossible to get deep cast iron alcove tub?

9 years ago

Is this the impossible dream? I want a cast iron tub, in the alcove/apron version, that will allow water at least 14" deep. It seems all alcove tubs are either vinyl or some other inferior material, or are shallow. I thought I had found a good one with Toto but they all have this awful mottled tread on the bottom. I just want a basic deep tub that will fit an alcove!

Only in acrylic. See this company. Reasonable pricing and you can purchase through Lowes or some plumbing supply companies.

Is this still an impossibility? And what is the reasoning behind the ugly indent on aprons?
