Flexible Glue Up Tile Flange for Walk-in Tubs, Shower Bases and Bathtubs Without Flange
From $69.00Rated 5 out of 5The purpose of the Ella Glue-Up Tile Flange kit is to provide the perfect tile flange option for bathtubs and shower bases that lack a built-in tile flange.
Ella brand walk-in bathtub shells do not include an integral tile flange. The reason for this omission is our focus on maximizing interior space by minimizing the deck width to the necessary minimum. As a result, finishing tiles or wall panels over the deck should also occupy minimal space to allow for cleaning gaps between the wall and fixtures. We strongly recommend purchasing and installing Ella’s glue-up flexible tile flange for this purpose. This tile flange is constructed from a thin, waterproof fabric membrane and is perfectly suited for this application.

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.
