My husband and I are going to use a full closet behind our 1/2 bath to transform it to a full bath (Bath/Shower combo). My question is this.
My husband is a big guy; 6 foot 6 and a solid 320lbs (looks like a linebacker). If I go with a Sterling tub and shower wall setup, do you think it would be sturdy enough to hold him and last? Or should I just go with the cast iron and tile around it? If I go with Cast Iron, any suggestion on brands? I'm working with a standard space of 5 ft long by 30-32" wide.
I was going to go with the Americast, but now that I've read that it has so many problems, I'm not going to bother. My local plumbing supply store suggested a MAAX Aker, but I'm concerned about the fact that this is a Gelcoat product rather than a product that is one molded material. I want the finish to last.
Now...I'm completely confused. I don't want to be penny wise and dollar foolish here. Any suggestions on different items/options would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
