Drop-in whirlpool tubs combine the elegant appearance of a drop-in tub with therapeutic whirlpool jets for a spa-like bathing experience at home. A drop-in whirlpool tub is a type of jetted tub that is designed to fit into a custom-built deck, platform, or tub surround. It is placed into a precisely cut opening in the deck and supported from below by a structural frame.
The self-rimming edge of a drop-in tub is designed to sit over the frame, with the rim resting on the surrounding surface for support. The surface of the deck is typically finished with water-resistant materials such as porcelain or marble tile to protect against moisture and create an elegant aesthetic.
A drop-in whirlpool tub’s framed enclosure hides plumbing for a clean, streamlined look. Note: every drop-in whirlpool tub platform should have an access panel constructed for plumbing repairs. Insulating your drop-in tub enclosure will also provide a quieter, more relaxing whirlpool bath experience.
The best drop-in whirlpool tub is stylish, comfortable, affordable, and easy to install, clean, and maintain. The best drop-in whirlpool tubs also offer customizable hydrotherapy massage settings. Some drop-in whirlpool tub packages also feature air jets, which provide a gentler water massage compared to water jets.
