Taylor, Mich. (October 3, 2011) - Masco Bath™, a division of
Masco Corporation, and producer of showers, tub showers, soaking tubs,
air tubs, whirlpools and more, was honored with a 2011 Silver ADEX Award
for its 60-by 32-inch Delta Transfer Bathtub. ADEX (Award for Design
Excellence) is the largest and most prestigious awards program for the
design of furniture, fixtures and finishes marketed to the design trade.
The Transfer Bathtub was selected for this award by a panel of industry
professionals and will be recognized with other winners in an upcoming
issue of Design Journal.
Part of the Universal Design Bathing System product line, the 60-inch
Delta Transfer Bathtub offers a comfortable, accessible bathing
experience for all users.
Several innovative features are integrated into the Transfer Bathtub
to enhance its safety and accessibility. A built-in bench enables
bathers to sit at a comfortable height, making it easier to get in and
out. The bench can be flipped up or removed completely, making it
possible to use the tub as a conventional bath or shower.
Additionally, ergonomic handles positioned on the sides of the tub
provide stability and assistance while entering and exiting. A backrest
molded into the tub basin adds comfort for bathers, and a bump-out area
on the edge of the tub allows for easy transfer in and out, while
providing an area for caregivers to sit.
