Question.....Are tubs tested to any National Specifications?
Answer....Our jetted tubs are UL tested and listed and all of our soaking tubs have been tested and certifed by IAPMO laboratories. Our tubs meet or exceed the following American and Canadian National Standards. ANSI Z124.1.2-2005; CSA B45.0-02 & CSA B45.5-02. Most local building inspectors will be looking for this before signing off on permits. We also have MA approvals.
Question.....What colors are available for the outside of the tubs?
Answer.....We can coat any exterior color. For that special 'designer look' we also offer exteriors in 23kt gold leaf, 12kt white gold, chrome and silver leaf.
Question....Are there any other costs for our Canadian buyers?
Answer....With one exception, NO. The only exception would be for rural, difficult to reach areas. We cover all costs to your curbside and we handle the broker clearing.
Question...When I purchase a Special Package Offer and I ask for a certain trim finish, are all the parts, faucets, feet, drain etc. supplied to match?
Answer.....Whether it's chrome, oil rubbed bronze etc., when you choose your trim color, we will supply every part in your choice of color. From feet to faucet to shower enclosure. You also have the option to stipulate white claw feet if preferred.
Question...Why build vintage bath tubs from CoreAcryl and not Cast Iron?
Answer...CoreAcryl is very strong and relatively light weight. It is easy to repair if scratched or even chipped. It is easy to clean and comfortably retains its' high gloss finish if maintained correctly. It has a high gloss 'enamel look' inside and outside. It does not draw heat from the water. It is easy for an installer to handle. Cast iron clawfoot tubs have none or few of these qualities.
Question...What is the difference between a SanSiro Air jetted clawfoot tub and an Airline air jetted bath tub?
Answer...The SanSiro clawfoot tub range has the blower and all the air supply lines built in between the shells of the tub. The Airline air jetted tubs have a remote blower that requires its' own housing.
Question.....When I order, will my items definitely be available to ship as promised on the website?
Answer.....If you buy anything on our website, it will be in stock and available to ship in the time frame indicated. We update our site every day. Everything we offer is available and ready to ship from our factory or warehouse.
Question...If I order a faucet or shower package from Baths of Distinction, will I need anything else to install?
Answer...No, you won't need anything else.There are some extras or options you may wish to order, but what you receive will be sufficient to install your tub package.
Question...When I want the exterior of the tub a different color from high gloss bright white, how exactly is this done and what other colors are available?
Answer...When we coat tub exteriors, we prepare exactly the same as a car manufacturer. There are several coats and sanding in between all of them. This is a very high specification finish, but we want it to be easy to maintain and to last forever. If you send us a paint color number, a paint swatch or any other paint reference, we will match it. This way, your tub can match the rest of your bathroom while still retaining its' vintage look.
Question...On the Airline Heated Air bubble tubs, how noisy is the blower?
Answer...We get asked this question a lot. We know there are some very noisy blowers out there, even as high as 95 decibels. At its' highest speed, our blower, which is made in the USA, runs at 65 decibels. When you sit in your tub, you hear the relaxing sound of bubbling water, not a noisy blower.
Question...Why do prices vary so much from seller to seller?
Answer...Other websites will often have two or three versions of the exact same size & style tubs selling at vastly different prices. This is because they sell tubs, faucets and fittings of varying quality, often made by different companies. Every Baths of Distinction tub is top quality. Each of our tubs is built using CoreAcryl technology and incorporates our aluminum heat barrier. All of our claw feet are heavy cast metal. All of our faucets and fittings are solid brass. Since we are factory direct sellers, we can pass on savings on TOP QUALITY tubs, faucets and fittings to our customers.
