Shower And Tub Choices For Bathroom Remodeling
Remodeling one’s bathroom may seem to be a pretty major job, especially if you don’t haven’t made a comprehensive plan ahead of time. But before making any plans for remodeling your bathroom, it is a good idea for you to explore the various options the market has to offer and pinpoint the things that you want your bathroom to have.
If you currently have a tub and shower combination but you find that you are not using your tub as often, you might want to consider switching it for a stand-alone walk in shower setup instead. This will free up a good amount of space which will make your bathroom a whole lot more functional.
In terms of showers and tubs, the market is flooded with various options that offer you more than just your standard step in tub or your run of the mill walk in shower. There are some luxurious and newer additions to the modern world of tubs and showers and these include clawfoot bathtubs, walk-in tubs, and steam showers.
Steam showers will provide you with the luxury of having a personal spa inside your very own home. Steam showers are self-enclosed shower systems that produces water mist which it then turns into steam by the use of its built in steam generator. 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. What’s even more amazing is that you can have all these installed and still consume the same amount of space as your regular 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 is an abundance of designs for you to choose from and also a number of fixtures for you to mix and match with, giving you with a wide range of personalization options for your bath.
A walk-in tub is perfect for those who are concerned with the safety of stepping into traditional bathtubs. Walk-in Tubs have a door with a water tight seal that opens and closes allowing a safer and easier entry.
Even if your budget does not allow for a full bathroom remodel, a new shower or tub can be quite as dramatic of a change especially when you find your current shower or tub not meeting your needs.
