What to Consider When Choosing a Walk-in Bathtub
Walk-in tubs can improve and enhance the quality of life for you or a loved one almost immediately, but you have to be clear exactly why you are buying one before you go ahead and make that all-important purchase:
The basics
Walk-in tubs have been designed and can be customized with many features to ensure safety.
This includes low-threshold, safety grab bars, non-slip surfaces, handheld shower-sprayer, ADA compliant seat and more.
The best walk-in tubs are manufactured in the U.S., so be sure to do the quality check with certifications, warranties, and return policies.
Walk-in tubs also have either an inward- or outward-swinging door, leaving you with the option that suits your specific needs more.
The tub size
Walk-in tubs are big, and they require professional installation. You have to be sure your home can actually accommodate the installation. A standard walk-in tub averages roughly 26 to 32 inches wide, and will generally fit into the same 60-inch long space as your standard tub without having to reconfigure the room.
Other important considerations
Remember, before you get to relax in the tub, you’ll have to wait for it to fill. In-line heaters and fast-drain technology make this less of a problem, and although not a deal-breaker for most people, many simply don’t consider this part.
With some tubs, you may have to wait for several minutes before you can finally bath. Equally, the strategically placed therapeutic water jets offer many advantages, but they can be noisy too. Furthermore, walk-in tubs come with tons of optional extras, so be sure to check what exactly is included and not included in your tub’s installation.
