Their specialists explain there are different reasons homeowners should install a walk-in tub.

4 Reasons to Install a Walk-In Tub

You’re Aging, But Independent

As people age, they become prone to falling and other mishaps, especially in the bathroom. Walk-in tubs allow seniors more stability than traditional ones. A typical bathroom remodel will include handrails to help prevent users from falling as they exit their tub and seats to reduce the possibility of their heads slipping under the water.

You Have Mobility Issues

People of all ages experience mobility issues due to accidents, illness, and aging. Walk-in tubs allow these users to enter their baths without having to lift their legs over a higher threshold the way traditional tubs do.  Walk-in tubs come in different designs and sizes. Often, users in wheelchairs roll up and move into walk-in tubs.

Hydrotherapy Is Good For You

Hydrotherapy is the use of water in therapy to reduce blood pressure, ease muscle strain, and alleviate stress. Walk-in tubs allow users the opportunity to take advantage of optional spa features, such as powerful water streams, after a rough day at work.

You Want to Increase Property Value

Depending on the housing market in which you live, a bathroom remodel can show the greatest return on investment (ROI), increasing your home's value significantly. Adding a walk-in tub can increase your home’s value, especially if it’s in or near a retirement community.
