I am re modelling our ensuite, and bought a Vegas whirlpool tub by Maax. We had a corner shower in before and removed it due to leaking water damage. I have just received the tub that we ordered, it is 60x32. I now have to frame where it is going in the ensuite. Any tips on how to do this properly or if it is better to frame it so you have a small ledge all the way around, or frame it so the actual lip of the tub goes over the frame itself. I also have this nagging feeling that I will not build it a bit too high and damage the edge of the tub due to weight, or build it a bit too low and possibly damage it due to leaning on the edge getting in and out of tub.
If I do the ledge all around it, I will want to tile it, but once I install tub, how would I go about lifting it up a bit to place tiles under the edge?
