Bathtubs are fixtures in bathrooms designed for bathing and relaxation. We offer various shapes, sizes, and materials, offering different features and styles.
Here are some common types of bathtubs:
-
Alcove Tubs: These are the most common and space-efficient tubs. They are typically surrounded by three walls and are ideal for small bathrooms.
-
Freestanding Tubs: These tubs stand alone and are not attached to any walls. They are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and can become a focal point in the bathroom.
-
Drop-in Tubs: These tubs are installed into a framed enclosure and can be dropped into a platform or built into the floor. They offer flexibility in terms of design and can be customized to fit the surrounding space.
-
Corner Tubs: Designed to fit into a corner, these tubs are a good choice for bathrooms with limited space. They come in various shapes, such as triangular or wedge-shaped.
-
Clawfoot Tubs: These vintage-style tubs have feet that resemble claws. They are often freestanding and add a touch of classic elegance to the bathroom.
-
Whirlpool/Jacuzzi Tubs: Equipped with jets, these tubs provide a spa-like experience with hydrotherapy. They are designed to massage and relax the body, offering therapeutic benefits.
-
Soaking Tubs: Deeper than standard tubs, soaking tubs are designed for full-body immersion. They are excellent for a long, relaxing soak.
-
Walk-In Tubs: These tubs have a door for easy entry, making them a suitable option for individuals with mobility issues or seniors. They often include features like handrails and non-slip surfaces.
-
Undermount Tubs: Similar to drop-in tubs, undermount tubs are installed beneath a surrounding deck. This creates a clean and seamless look.
When choosing a bathtub, consider factors such as the available space in your bathroom, your budget, and the features you desire, such as jets for massage or specific materials for aesthetic appeal.
