(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, May 27, 2015 ) Dublin, OH -- A typical bathroom with a step in bathtub and traditional layout can make it difficult for seniors or physically challenged people. With the growing number of retirees who wish to live at home rather than in an assisted care facility comes the demand for improved accessibility and mobility in the bathroom. If senior living centers can have walk in bathtubs and roll in showers, why not homes?
Walk in bathtubs are equipped with an entry door to give the user access without having to step over the side to get in. When closed the door seals tightly to prevent water from leaking out. Walk in bathtubs can be drained quickly for convenience or emergency exit. Walk in bathtubs must be professionally installed to ensure optimal function and safety.
Tom Mills, owner of HandyPro Handyman Services (http://dubinhandymanservice.blogspot.com/), provides ADA compliant senior home remodeling using universal design concepts including walk in bathtubs and barrier free showers. Walk in tubs offer many advantages in addition to their safe entry design. Walk in bathtubs make bathing easier for people with mobility issues with features like slip resistance, handrails and comfortable seating. Walk in tubs can come with a variety of bonus features including bubble jets and adjustable shower heads. A walk in bathtub will add value to a home that is located in a retirement community.
There are some drawbacks to walk in bathtubs but the pros outweigh the cons. The user must enter the tub and shut door before filling it with water so things could be a little cool while they wait for it to fill up. Due to their large size the homeowner might need to have a larger water heater installed. Waiting for the tub to drain before getting out is another issue.
Walk-in bathtub manufacturers have made some improvements to address these issues with better temperature controls, quick-fill faucets and fast draining; however, this technology does add to the cost of installing a walk in tub. Walk in bathtubs come in a variety of models to accommodate different bathroom sizes and configurations. For example, a smaller bathroom might require a walk in tub with a door that swings inward.
