        "text": "A cast-iron tub is substantially heavier and cannot be carried out in one piece like fiberglass or acrylic units. While fiberglass tubs can be unfastened, cut into sections with standard tools, and hauled out quickly, cast iron often weighs hundreds of pounds. Removing cast iron typically requires carefully breaking it apart on-site using heavy tools while protecting surrounding fixtures and drywall, or bringing in extra crew members to carry it out intact. The trade-off is higher labor effort and disposal weight, but removing it often creates space for modern walk-in designs.",
