My semi-experience with Americast is that it sucks :o My parents have had Americast fixtures in their last two homes they built. Chipping, cracking, worn finishes...all within a couple of years. Over the years, I've read countless stories saying the same. Monica

The 60” is always a problem for a “comfortable” soaker. It will need to be longer. And come with the integral tile flange if it is to also be used as a shower. Koehler makes a few 67” tubs for alcoves. But do you have the room for “comfort”?

Picture of type of tub followed by picture of missing piece which is about half way down side.

i love the art deco alcoves. go to an architectural salvage first, and see if they have an original. Those are solid cast iron and are refinished w/a porcelain type of paint. so much better than the epoxy stuff they do now over the acrylic! here's an orig 1930 model. or, if you want a drop in, look for this. (yes they're heavy. So get 4 guys to help carry it up) these were meant to drop in like this, w/the tile surround: look at RetroREnovation, https://retrorenovation.com/2018/04/30/where-to-find-pink-bathtubs-and-other-color-bathtubs/ or CoolStuff,,,,, for vintage tubs https://coolstuffiscoolstuff.com/collections/architectural-salvage or, they do make 60" cast iron tubs. https://www.build.com/kohler-k-716/s563320?uid=174357&jmtest=gg-gbav2_174357&inv=1&source=gg-gba-pla_174357!c1713577907!a68171998758!dc!ng&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcqN0pa36gIVghh9Ch0O3QGnEAkYCCABEgLN-fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
