Whether you’re planning a large redesign project or simply replacing your old bathtub, here are a few tips for choosing a new one.
Comfort. Bathtubs come with built-in armrests, seats, ergonomic back support, massaging jets, and many other features that can make bathtime a relaxing and comfortable experience.
Colour. There are many different colours you can choose from—everything from beaten copper to black.
Style. You have a lot of options when it comes to the style of your bathtub, including Greek and Japanese; sleek, modern pedestal tubs; and elegant antiques.
Use. Do you like to sit and read in your tub? In that case, you may want a shallower tub. Do you enjoy taking baths for two? A two-person tub can accommodate two bathers comfortably.
Size. When considering which tub to buy, make sure you take the size of the people using it into account.
Medical requirements. If you have difficulty getting in and out of the bathtub, or if you’re living with someone who does, choose a tub specially designed to be easy and safe for the handicapped.
Choose a tub that fits your bathroom, your bathing habits, and your style—and you’ll be able to make your bathroom into a relaxing retreat.
