(Dallas.CityRegions.Com, June 11, 2015 ) Plano, TX -- A regular bathroom with a step-in bath tub and standard design and style can make it challenging for seniors or disabled people. With the rising number of seniors who wish to live at home rather than in an assisted living facility comes the demand for better accessibility and maneuverability in the bathroom. If senior living homes can have walk-in baths and roll-in showers, then why not homes?
Walk-in bathtubs are supplied with an entry door so the user has access without having to step over the side to get in. When shut the door seals securely to prevent water from escaping. Walk in bath tubs can be drained rapidly for practicality or emergency exit. Walk in bathtubs must be expertly installed to ensure superior functionality and safety.
Aaron Abbott, owner of HandyPro Handyman Service (http://homemodificationplano.blogspot.com), presents ADA compliant senior home improvement applying universal design themes featuring walk-in bathtubs and barrier free showers. Walk in tubs offer numerous advantages besides their safe entry style. Walk in tubs make bath time less troublesome for people with mobility issues with qualities like slip resistance, hand rails and comfortable seating. Walk in tubs can come with an assortment of extra functions such as bubble jets and adjustable shower heads. A walk in bathtub will increase the value of a house that is located in a retirement community.
There could be a few shortcomings to a walk-in tub however the pros over-shadow the cons. The user has to get into the bath tub and then shut door before filling it with water so things could get a bit cool as they wait for it to fill up. As a result of their large size the homeowner could need to get a bigger water heater installed. Waiting for the bath tub to drain before getting out is another issue.
Walk-in bathtub suppliers have made some improvements to fix these concerns with better temperature controls, quick-fill faucets and fast draining; however, this technology will increase the price of installing a walk in tub. Walk in bathtubs are available in a variety of models to fit different bathroom sizes and configurations. For example, a smaller sized bathroom may necessitate a walk in tub with a door that pivots inward.
