Bathtub overlay

In accordance with one embodiment, a method is disclosed including cutting an opening in a sidewall of a bathtub and providing an overlay to cover the bathtub. The overlay can include an assistance feature such a tread, door, or capsule.

Portable spa construction

Spa side panels are trapezoidally-shaped and mounted in respective grooves defined by adjacent tapered corner pieces and their mounting brackets to accommodate differences in coefficients of expansion of the respective parts and prevent structural damage. Angled force transfer members are configured to mate with swept back side surfaces of a spa base pan to achieve a pedestal appearance, and the bottom surface of the base pan is constructed to reduce heat transfer to the spa support surface.

BATHTUB FITTING STANDARD EXTERNAL SPACE WHILE AFFORDING SAFE EGRESS AND LARGER FLOOR AREA WITH ENCLOSED VOLUME
20170020345 · 2017-01-26 · ·

A method of making a bathtub providing safe egress by reducing slide forces extended on a user's feet upon a slippery bathtub floor, wherein the formed bathtub has a limited rectangular footprint, and an optimized floor space is formed with a substantially planar base with a length and width that define the limited rectangular footprint and a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall and a second side wall integral with and extending substantially vertically upwards from the substantially planar base. Each of the front, back, first side wall and second side wall have minimal wall thicknesses to define the optimized floor space and the front wall has a substantially planar inwardly, cantilevered upper apron deck in a substantially parallel relation to the substantially planar base.

SOLID CORE BATHROOM FIXTURES AND METHODS THEREOF

A solid core bath apparatus or fixture may include an exterior shell, an inner core positioned within a hollow inner portion of the exterior shell, and an adhesive coating coupled between the inner core and the inner surface of the exterior shell. The exterior shell may include a protective outer surface and an inner surface defining the hollow inner portion. A central portion of the protective outer surface may generally be sloped towards a shell drain opening defined between the protective outer surface and the inner surface. The inner core may include at least one planar outer surface configured to be supported by a support surface when the bath apparatus is installed. The inner core in conjunction with the adhesive coating may prevent or reduce any deflection of the exterior shell when stood upon.
