Many homeowners’ remodeling wish lists include converting an old bathtub to a walk-in shower, whether it’s a manufactured unit or a custom installation. A walk-in bathtub can provide the appearance of more space and a clean appearance to the bathroom. This upgrade is likely to suit your active lifestyle if you prefer a quick shower to a long bath. Before you toss out that old tub, do some additional research on the design, installation, and expenses of a project like this.<\/p>\n
What Are the Benefits of Having a Walk-In Bath?<\/strong><\/p>\n Walk-in baths, unlike traditional showers, don’t require a curtain or door to prevent the water from\u00a0spraying, giving\u00a0a more expansive look, and an\u00a0open appearance. While prefabricated units have shallow curbs to keep excess water from running onto the bathroom floor, many custom walk-ins have no curbs and do not sloping floor allowing for greater accessibility, which is especially beneficial for those who have joint injuries or mobility issues.<\/p>\n Another feature is a multi-nozzle spray, which is a regular feature in many walk-in showers. Depending on preference, you can have as many as 10 spray nozzles directing water to all sides of your body.<\/p>\n
