Four Reasons Not to Convert Your Shower to a Bathtub
If you’ve been considering a bathroom remodel, choosing your preferred bathing method is one of the most important decisions. And while having both a tub and shower might be the easiest solution, the reality is that there simply isn’t enough space in most bathrooms for two fixtures. When faced with this decision, many homeowners choose a conversion, such as a shower to a bathtub.
For many people, a shower-to-tub conversion seems to offer an ideal solution to their problems—but what if you’re having doubts? Read on to learn about four reasons not to convert your shower to a bathtub.
Bathtubs Take Up More Space
Bathrooms are some of the smallest rooms in many homes, especially older or historic properties. With space at a premium, choosing the right fixtures is crucial, and bathtubs present a problem. Most bathtubs have a large footprint, which takes away precious real estate in the bathroom. That extra space could be repurposed for a wide range of uses, like extra vanity space or storage, which most homeowners agree is more functional than a bathtub.
Daily Baths Are Inconvenient
Nowadays, many homeowners simply don’t have as much time for baths as they think. The reality is that today’s busy schedules often require showering, even among those who love drawing a bath, leaving baths largely unused. For homeowners who only take a bath once or twice a year, the extra space taken by a bathtub could be used for something with more utility—like an expanded shower. However, if you enjoy the occasional soak in the tub for the relaxation and hydrotherapeutic benefits, you may want to consider investing in a separate bathtub—like one made by the renowned Jacuzzi® brand—for your home.
Baths Are Not as Safe
If you or any member of your family has mobility limitations due to age or any other reason, a bathtub is likely not the best option for your home. Traditional bathtubs feature high tub walls which can be difficult to step over when entering or exiting the bath, especially considering the presence of slippery surfaces. A step-in shower, on the other hand, is a much safer option for anyone planning on aging in place or who has difficulty with climbing in and out of the tub.
Remodeled Showers Are Extremely Luxurious
Sure, it’s popular to think of taking a bath as the ultimate stay-at-home luxury, but modern remodeled showers are often just as magnificent. A brand-new shower can include everything you’ve ever wanted, like plenty of storage, gorgeous hardware and showerheads, and stunning styling. Plus, a shower’s open and airy feeling might even be more enticing than a bathtub.
