MTI BASICS Pre-Leveled Frame
Pre-Leveled Frame and Foam Base
All MTI rectangular and corner tubs are available with a factory-installed pre-leveled frame and foam base. The pre-leveled frame system eliminates the need to frame along the walls and use the wet-bed compound to level the tub. The frame and foam base are typically used for alcove installations, although MTI can recess one or more ends of the tub for custom applications. When adding the pre-leveled frame to a tub with an end drain, you must specify which side (left or right) the drain will be on in relation to the recessed side where the skirt is to be added.
Features of the Pre-Leveled Frame & Foam Base System
- Must be ordered with tub for proper fit and finish.
- Constructed of FSC-Certified poplar hardwood. (Fire retardant wood is available upon request).
- Permanently secured under the tub flange.
- Pre-installed at the MTI factory.
- Leveled and supported on the bottom with a high-density closed cell foam*, which eliminates the need for “wet-bed” installation. This foam also acts as a sound dampener and barrier.
- The front is recessed 3⁄4″ to accommodate the front apron.
- Custom recesses for tile or marble skirting are available. Please specify the amount and placement of the custom recess when placing the order. Some hydrotherapy components may limit this option. Contact MTI for details.
- Factory-installed color-matched acrylic skirt available for most models.
- Pre-Leveled Frame and Foam Base for rectangular tubs (PLF) $740
- Pre-Leveled Frame and Foam Base for corner tubs (PLFC) $850
NOTE:
The frame and foam increase the overall exterior height of the unit by
approximately 2″– 3″ (see individual product specification sheet).
