I've heard that the shiny/glossy 'fake granite' type shells don't hold up well. OTOH, the duller speckled shells do better. Does this hold any water? (no pun intended)
My assumption has been that a given model of tub by a given manufacturer would be made of the same materials, regardless of the 'finish'. Is seems unlikely that they would switch from acrylic to fiberglass on a given tub (or even within a given manufacturer). I've also seen tubs that claim to be 'acrylic fiberglass'. Does that make any sense?
Thanks,
Mike
