Top 4 Basic Tips To Know Before Buying A Bathtub
Are you looking at remodeling your bathroom? Choosing a bathtub has several considerations to think about before you can make final decisions for your bathroom. The choices are not just how it looks, it must also be functional and be based on how you are going to use your tub. Another thing to consider is technology (yes! bath tubs can use technologies too). Do you want it to be equipped with state-of-the-art technology to relax or just want to have fun or just a plain tub for everyday use.
Here are some top priorities you should consider when buying a tub:
1. 60-inch bath tub will do just fine, it has a space enough for you to stretch and secured enough for you not to slip. Tubs do not better when they are bigger. To be sure, try sitting in the tub before you make your purchase.
2. What is your purpose? Is it for your family to use, for friends so that they can socialize in your home, or for your own personal relaxation?
3. Types of Bathtubs
General purpose - These are the tubs we commonly use at home. We have grown up to these kinds of tubs.
Soaking Tubs - These tubs are deeper than the general purpose tub. It allows you to sink your body into the water. These tubs are similar to what you see on Roman films where the princess or king takes a bath.
Whirlpool Tubs - It has water jets and the water is circulated throughout the tub. It massages your body and helps you relax. Perfect for easing out your stress.
Walk-in Tubs - This can be a general purpose tub, soaking tubs, or whirlpool tubs, the only difference is that it has a door that will let you walk into the tub rather than climb on it. A perfect tub for the elderly and the disabled.
4. Material of the tubs
Cast iron tubs are the most durable tub, it can last for years.
Enamel on steel is lighter than cast iron. Good for bathroom remodeling jobs.
Acrylic is made out of plastic. It is much lighter than cast iron and enamel. These are often used in whirlpool tubs because it can easily be molded in various shapes.
Fiberglass is similar to acrylic only that it is more durable. But the downside is that it is very expensive.
Wooden bathtub is a special kind of tub not often seen in stores. It can be more expensive than whirlpool tubs but it is more beautiful especially you want a more Zen-like appeal to your bathroom.
