Though most homes feature the traditional shower/tub combo, many homeowners rarely use the tub portion. Tub-to-shower conversions are a popular trend that can bring safety, functionality and style to your home, and here’s how:
1. Safety – With today’s increasing average life expectancy, there is more of a need for easy entering and exiting of the shower. Elders climbing over the tub to enter the shower is a huge safety concern, so why not eliminate the obstacle? Additionally, seats and handrails which conform to ADA handicap standards can be installed for extra stability.
2. Functionality – Getting rid of the bulky tub will open upa ton of floor space in your bathroom, creating a larger and more comfortable area. Aside from more space in your bathroom, a walk-in shower will also allow for more space inside the shower. Upgrade to a bench seat or a built-in shower caddy to create a nice space for your toiletries. Plus, your walk-in shower will be much easier to clean without stubborn soap scum sticking to the tub.
3. Style – Converting your tub to a shower immediately brings a more sophisticated look to the space. It also allows you to replace messy shower curtains with sleek shower doors. Consider clear doors to visually open up the space and provide a glimpse into your new luxurious shower.
