How
does the watertight door work?
The
water tight door of the Bliss Walk-in Tub forms a hydrostatic seal when
the door is closed and latched. Additionally, the weight of water
inside the tub further compresses the door seal making it completely
leak proof. Bliss Tubs guarantees the door seal.
Can
the Bliss Walk-in Tub be used as a shower?
Yes,
the Bliss Tub deluxe faucet set comes with an extendable/retractable
hand-held showerhead that is typically mounted onto the deck of the tub.
How
are Bliss Walk-in Tubs installed?
A
Bliss Walk-in Tub can be installed in as little as two days.
Because Bliss Walk-in Bathtubs fit regular tub spaces, no major
remodeling is needed. All Bliss walk-in tubs come in both left-hand and
right-hand walk-in versions. Included with every tub delivery is a set
of extensions that will enable an existing, standard bathtub space to
accommodate the walk-in tub.
Do
Bliss Walk-in Tubs have an electrical safety certification?
Yes,
Bliss Tubs is one of the few walk-in tub manufacturers with a UL
certification. The UL listing provides you and your customers with a
very strong indication of the safety of a Bliss Walk-in Tub. UL is an
independent product safety certification organization who has been
testing and evaluating products for over 116 years. They are
world-regarded as the best in the business. More specifically, UL does
extensive testing of a product against UL safety standards. If the
product is approved, the product is labeled with a UL Listing Mark.
Look for this UL Listing Mark…don't buy a walk-in tub that
doesn't have this mark prominently displayed in their website,
literature and on the tub.
What
is better — acrylic or fiberglass?
Tub Body Construction: Acrylic
walk-in tubs now on the market are generally vacuum-formed acrylic
reinforced with fiberglass backing. Through the process of vacuum
forming a single flat sheet of acrylic is heated and stretched over a
waxed mold. Due to the greater size of walk-in bathtubs as compared to
standard bathtubs, the acrylic sheet must stretch much further than
normal. This stretching causes the walls and corners to become
extremely thin and fragile, hence the need for a more solid fiberglass
backing. Bliss Tubs has eliminated the need for cheap and fragile
acrylic by producing a 100% fiberglass body, which is further
reinforced in the seat, floor and tub walls for far superior strength
and rigidity.
Tub Finish: Acrylic
often appears plastic-like and low in quality whereas our gel coat
finish has a soft and warm sheen that is pleasant to the eyes.
Unfortunately, damage can occur for unforeseeable reasons and is in all
likelihood unavoidable. In fact, acrylic and gel coat products are
equally susceptible to surface scratching and require non-abrasive
cleaners. However, damage to the thin surface of an acrylic tub is
almost impossible to repair and color match, and attempts at repair can
often lead to further damage. The triple-coated gel coat finish applied
to every Bliss walk-in tub is meticulously and thickly applied and then
buffed to a perfect sheen. If a scratch, ding or worse should ever
occur to the fiberglass finish, Bliss Tub's gel coat experts can
provide a simple color-matched repair kit with thorough instructions on
filling, sanding and buffing any blemish away. The whole repair process
only takes about a day including dry time for any qualified handyman.
Once
I have ordered my Bliss Walk-in Tub, how long will it be before I
receive it?
Delivery
time for a Bliss Walk-in Tub averages about ten to fourteen days from
time of order, depending on your locality.
What
tests are performed before the tubs are shipped?
All
Bliss Walk-in Tubs are inspected and tested 100% at our California
facility prior to shipment to our customers. Each tub’s
watertight integrity is thoroughly tested as are any installed massage
systems. Faucetry and all other plumbing fixtures are also thoroughly
inspected for quality and fuctionality.
