Not all walk-in bathtubs are created equal. Without realizing it many walk in bathtub manufacturers have created their products with design flaws. Purchasers need to be aware of those design flaws. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step in height<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a safety issue. Most walk in bath tubs have a high step into the tub of 6 to 7 inches. This height is actually dangerous for people with limited mobility. The reason they buy a walk in bathtub is because they can’t climb stairs or take large steps. Remember the purpose of the walk in bathtub is making bathing possible for those who cannot get in or out of a regular bathtub.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tile Flange<\/strong><\/p>\n

A tile flange is the lip that extends above the bath tub by about an inch and a half. This allows the finishing material (tile, tub surround, etc) to hang over the lip to protect the drywall backing from getting wet and deteriorating. Most building codes require a tile flange. Many walk in bathtub manufacturers have neglected to add a tile flange to their bathtubs.<\/p>\n

Bathtub size<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bigger is not always better.\u00a0 While manufacturers’ attempt to impress would-be purchasers by the size of their bathtubs, there are two things to keep in mind.\u00a0 If you are putting your bathtub in an existing bathroom it needs to fit, not only in the bathroom, but through the door. Secondly, the larger the size, the more water the bathtub will hold, making for a longer fill and drain time.\u00a0 Some people think that they want a bathtub where they can be immersed in water.\u00a0 That’s a great idea; but think how long it would take to fill and drain that tub while you sit inside waiting – that’s why such a bathtub does not exist.\u00a0 Remember too that when sitting in a traditional bathtub, your body is never immersed so why would you expect it to be in a walk in bathtub.<\/p>\n
