        "text": "Acrylic and fiberglass are the most common lightweight options, offering warm surface temperatures and straightforward installation, though acrylic is more durable and scratch-resistant than basic fiberglass. Enameled steel and cast iron offer exceptional durability and a classic feel, but cast iron is extremely heavy and may require subfloor reinforcement before installation. Stone resin and composite freestanding tubs provide modern, high-end aesthetics but require ample floor clearance and dedicated floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler valves. Your choice depends on aesthetic preference, structural support, and budget.",
