Buying American Standard Americast Bathtubs
American Standard Americast bathtubs are made of a revolutionary alternative to cast iron. The Americast tub is more durable, yet 50% lighter and installation costs are much less. Americast is American Standard Bathtub’s patented manufacturing process that bonds a high-quality porcelain enamel surface with an enameling grade material and a molded reinforcement material backing. This provides a more durable, less weighty bathtub. These manufacturing advantages allow Americast bathtubs to be made deeper, flatter and roomier than traditional cast iron bathtubs.
All American Standard Americast bathtubs include these features:
• Made from genuine Americast Brand Engineered Material
• Durable, glossy porcelain finish
• Full slip-resistant surface using “Stan-Sure”.
The American Standard Stan-Sure is a mix of porcelain and hard quartz that produces a safe slip resistant surface. The "Stan-Sure" slip resistant surface is designed to provide a built-in safety feature eliminating the need for non-slip mats and tapes. The surface may accumulate soap and body oils, therefore proper care and maintenance is important.
American Standard Americast Bathtub cleaning recommendations and care instructions for the slip resistant surface include using powdered Bon Ami, Spic 'N Spam, DiDi Seven or ZUD for best results on stubborn stains on the surface.
1. Wet tub surface
2. Sprinkle powdered cleaner onto a wet sponge
3. Apply to the stain
4. Rinse with water.
