The product from Valley acrylic is attractive, durable, functional, and easy to install. Valley acrylic tubs are built using a proprietary layering technology to reinforce and insulate the tubs far better than other tubs available today. The process starts with a heavy acrylic sheet with a resin and fiberglass mixture backing then a thick layer of real Canadian wood is applied to the tub which is then coated with another layer of the proprietary resin. This gives the tub better heat retention and insulation than another acrylic, gel coat, or steel tub products on the market while giving unparalleled strength and rigidity. The proprietary layered technology insulates the tub rather than absorbing heat from the water like cast iron which saves energy and water by retaining more heat and making the addition of hot water less frequently to maintain a warm bath. The 55" x 29" size is compact for a free-standing tub yet allows for ample space in the bath while giving your bath the unique design statement only a freestanding bath can offer. The Justinian tub has a reinforced faucet deck at one end allowing for a deck-mounted roman tub faucet installation, a floor-standing faucet would not be required. The free-standing style provides a clean and efficient use of space in your master bath allowing for an open environment unrestricted by walls and barriers. The heavy 3mm thick acrylic layer provides a high gloss surface that is scratch, fade, and crack resistant providing a clean and attractive appearance through the entire long life of the tub. The vibrant surface of the acrylic tubs cleans up easily with mild soap and water, no scrubbing or harsh chemical cleaners are required. This easy-to-clean nonporous acrylic surface resists the growth of mold, mildew, and mineral deposits providing a safe and hygienic bathing fixture for your family. The Justinian tub has a convenient end drain configuration, a 15" water depth, with a unique modern rectangular design. Valley acrylic, a woman-owned business, creates handmade products that are eco-friendly and manufactured in a certified zero-waste factory in Mission, BC, Canada.
