What are the pros and cons of cast iron vs. porcelain covered steel bathtubs?
Great call. Cast Iron's bottom &amp; sides are solid, none others are. Steel is quite bouncy &amp; hollow sounding. Cast Iron is very heavy so consider that if you'll be installing yourself. You'll want 3 other helpers &amp; to make a stretcher under its rim out of 2x4's &amp; treat it like a King or Queen...unless winding stairs or shallow hallways will be a length issue.
