Kohler Bathtubs: Cast Iron Tubs and More

Kohler bathtubs are a mainstay of this 130-year old company whose name has become synonymous with bath and kitchen products. In 1883, founder John Michael Kohler created the first Kohler bathtub by coating a horse trough with baked enamel. The rest, as they say, is history...

Over the years, Kohler has produced such innovations as the metric bathtub with a built-in seat, tubs designed for smaller homes during the Baby Boom, a centennial Birthday Bath which was a classic clawfoot bathtub with an updated ergonomic design and the Aventura Shower and Soak whirlpool. In 1997, the 1 millionth Kohler Villager bath tub was produced.

In the present, there are a wide variety of Kohler bathtubs, bath modules and whirlpool tubs.

True to their heritage as a metal foundry, the premiere material for Kohler bathtubs is cast iron. They also offer fiberglass-reinforced acrylic bathtubs, as well as their lightweight Kohler Vikrell Advanced Composite, which is composed of fiberglass and polyester resin. A core benefit of Kohler bathtubs is their easy to install designs. Standard to Kohler bath tubs is their Safeguard slip-resistant finishing, and each bath has distinctive touches for safety, convenience and comfort.

Kohler bath modules are combinations of bath and showers designed for modern homes. They come in various shapes and sizes, and are designed for easy installation in a variety of configurations. Acrylic and fiberglass are the two lightweight and durable materials used for Kohler's bath and shower modules

Kohler also has a large selection of whirlpool bathtubs designed to relax and reinvigorate you. The top of the line Flagship Whirlpools include the sok and RiverBath models. Next are the Experience Whirlpools, which include a large heater and a motor with 18 settings. The ProFlex line of Kohler whirlpool bathtubs have many flexible options and boast easy installation.
