Walk-in bathtubs are revolutionizing bathroom safety without compromising on comfort or style. Here's what you need to know:
What is a Walk-in Bathtub?
A walk-in bathtub features a door that allows you to step into the tub easily, rather than climbing over a high threshold. This design is perfect for seniors, those with mobility challenges, or anyone who values safety.
Key Safety Features
- Low entry threshold (typically 3-4 inches)
- Built-in grab bars
- Non-slip floors
- Quick-drain technology
- ADA-compliant seating
Therapeutic Benefits
Many walk-in tubs come with hydrotherapy jets, air massage systems, and heated seating. These features can help with arthritis, muscle pain, and circulation.
Installation Considerations
Walk-in tubs require proper installation by certified professionals. Factors include water heater capacity, electrical requirements, and bathroom layout.
