Reversible Access End Panel
$250.00Rated 5 out of 5Each Ella walk-in tub comes with a reversible end panel that can be installed on either side of the tub, whether it’s the left or the right. If you need to cover the other end of the walk-in tub, you can purchase an additional end panel separately.
The Front Entry walk-in tub, on the other hand, doesn’t have a reversible end panel. Instead, it has two side panels that cover the sides of the tub since the molded seat is positioned facing the door, and the tub is narrow.
For the Ella Standard walk-in tub, there is a non-reversible end panel covering the faucet side end of the tub.Discover premium Walk-In Tub Accessories & Add-Ons to enhance your bathing experience. For more information or to purchase an end panel please Contact Us or call (312) 242-3551.
