Bathtub fitting standard external space while affording safe egress and larger floor area with enclosed volume

A method of making the safe egress bathtub having a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space and with depth perception enhancing contrasting colors;

• said method comprising the steps of:
• assembling a safe egress bathtub having a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space by providing:
• a two piece mold comprising of a primary mold piece for making the safe egress bathtub having a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space and,
• a secondary mold piece for making an inwardly, cantilevered, apron deck on a front portion of the safe egress bathtub having a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space;
• providing said safe egress bathtub having a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space with substantially vertical back and front walls, first and second end walls, and a bottom wall, all of said walls being of rigid material, entry and egress of a user being over said front wall;
• providing said front wall having a top horizontal apron deck extending from an outer surface of said front wall toward said back wall, said top horizontal deck having sufficient width to support sliding shower wall tracks thereon;
• said bottom wall extending to a rear, vertical surface of said front wall with said apron deck extending over said front wall extending down to an area of said bottom wall adjacent said rear, vertical surface of said front wall;
• providing the assembled safe egress bathtub with contrasting colors on selected surfaces of the bathtub, to enhance depth perception of a bather entering or exiting a bathtub with at least a wet floor, or a volume of water therein
• said contrasting colors being markings visually emphasizing a height and depth of an inwardly extending apron deck ledge positioned a predetermined height above a floor of the safe egress bathtub with a limited rectangular footprint and optimized floor space.
