Information on the development of bathtub liners and their use.

Bathtub Liners
Where and when bathtub liners were invented or first used is unknown. It is believed that they were developed by federal engineers when constructing low-cost government housing in large cities.

In the past 20 years, entrepreneurs have spread bathtub liners around the country as a low-cost alternative to bathtub repair or replacement. And although these liners only claim a 1-2% market share of the bathroom refurbishing business, they are expanding remarkable quickly.

But what exactly is a bathtub liner?

Description
A bathtub liner is a custom-fit unit that has been molded to the specifications of your tub or shower and installed in one piece over your existing unit. Liner manufacturers and installers have molds of hundreds of different models of tubs and showers, which allow them to find the liner that will fit your fixture best. The liners are made from acrylic or PVC and are very lightweight. They are also very durable, scratch resistant, and will not fade.
