The BrakTub company Information

The BrakTub company was formed in January 2015, but the three people that took this patented new tub design from concept to product have been together for quite some time. Bruce Ahmes started Ahmes Construction in 1973 on Long Island in New York. Ryan Ahmes, Bruce's son, has been around construction since he could walk. Ken Piccininni started in the construction business in 1988. Construction has seen a lot of change in our forty plus years of experience. The one thing that has never changed is the bathtub. As a matter of fact, it hasn't changed since it was brought into the house back in 1883. As we renovated bathrooms our customers had one complaint; they always wanted to replace their tub with a shower pan but didn't want to get rid of the tub because of resale value. They knew it was hard to sell a house that has no bathtub. In our redesign, we were able to get approximately 30% more floor space and 30% more volume. Our tub has more room than a shower pan. Our biggest feature: Safety. Our tub is much easier to get in and out of, reducing the slip and falls from tubs tremendously.
