Bathroom Remodeling:Showers and Tubs
Bathroom remodeling could possibly be a daunting task, much so if you didn’t make a vivid plan ahead. But before you can even begin making plans for bathroom remodeling, you must first come acquainted with the various options available and what it is that you want to have in the bathroom.
For when you currently have a shower/tub combination setup in your bathroom but you find that you rarely use the tub, so you might want to consider having a walk-in shower installed instead. This will help in providing you with a more functional bathroom by freeing a good amount of space.
In terms of your showers and tubs, the market is filled with options that makes your walk in shower or step in tub look like child’s play. Newer and more luxurious contenders in our modern age of tubs and showers are clawfoot bathtubs, walk-in tubs, and steam showers just to name a few.
Steam showers will provide you with the luxury of having a personal spa inside your very own home. Steam showers are an enclosed shower system that makes use of a built in steam generator that produces water mist which then turns into steam. A staple feature found in most of today’s era of steam showers is electronic temperature control, as well as other luxuries such as foot massagers, jets, ceiling rain, MP3 players, radio, and even a telephone. Amazingly, all these features can be installed in your bath and take up the same amount of space as your run of the mill walk-in shower.
Although clawfoot tubs are not a new thing for they’ve been around for years already, newer models come with new features that makes them a great option for your remodeled bath. Clawfoot tubs of our age are no longer made of cast iron and are now made out of acrylic which makes the modern tubs lighter and cost effective. Clawfoot tubs are a good choice in giving your remodeled bathroom that vintage look. There are many styles to choose from and also a plethora of fixtures that provide wider options for personalizing your bath.
Walk-in tubs are great for individuals who question the safety of stepping into traditional bathtubs. Walk-in tubs eliminate the potential risk that comes from stepping into doors by having a water-tight door as means of entry.
So even if a full bathroom remodeling is out of your budget, a shower or tub remodeling can provide a pretty dramatic change in your bathroom especially when your current shower or tub doesn’t quite suit your needs.
