(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, November 12, 2015 ) New Orleans, LA -- A common bathroom with a step-in bath tub and standard format can render it troublesome for golden-agers or disabled people. With the rising number of retirees who prefer to reside at home as opposed to in an assisted living facility comes the demand for upgraded ease of access and mobility in the bathroom. If senior living centers can have walk-in bathtubs and barrier free showers, then why not apartments?
Walk-in bathtubs are outfitted with an entry door so the user has access without having to step over the side to get in. When closed the door seals securely to keep water from leaking out. Walk in tubs (http://neworleanswalkinbathtubs.blogspot.com/) can be drained fast for convenience or emergency exit. A walk-in bathtub must be professionally installed to guarantee maximum function and safety.
Britt Wilkinson, owner of HandyPro Handyman Services, brings ADA compliant senior home upgrading employing universal design strategies like walk-in tubs and barrier free showers. Walk in tubs allow a large number of conveniences besides their safe entry style. Walk in tubs make taking a bath much easier for people with mobility issues with qualities like slip prevention, grab bars and comfortable seating. Walk in tubs can have a number of extra features like bubble jets and flexible shower heads. A walk in bathtub will increase the value of a property if is located in a retirement area.
There could be a few downsides with a walk-in tub but the pros surpass the cons. The user has to enter the tub then close door prior to filling it with water so they might be a little cool while they wait for it to fill up. Because of their large size the homeowner may need to get a larger water heater installed. Waiting for the bathtub to drain before getting out is another issue.
Walk-in bathtub designers have made a number of advancements to resolve these challenges with improved temperature controls, quick-fill faucets and quick draining; nevertheless, this innovation does add to the cost of installing a walk in bathtub. Walk in bathtubs can be found in a number of models to conform to different bathroom sizes and configurations. For example, a smaller sized bathroom could need a walk in bathtub with a door that swings inward.
