More and more, we see homeowners converting their tubs to showers. Here are some common reasons why people consider this conversion:
- Accessibility: Showers are generally more accessible than tubs, making it easier for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities to bathe independently. A walk-in or roll-in shower with grab bars and a bench can provide a safer and more convenient bathing experience.
2. Space Saving: If you have a small bathroom, removing a bathtub and installing a shower can help free up valuable floor space. This can make your bathroom feel more spacious and potentially allow for other design or storage options.
3. Efficiency: Showers are typically more water-efficient than baths. If you're concerned about water conservation or want to reduce your water bills, a shower can be a more eco-friendly option.
4. Quick and Convenient: Showers are generally quicker than baths. If you have a busy lifestyle and need to get ready in a hurry, a shower can save you time.
5. Modernization: Converting to a shower can give your bathroom a modern and updated look. You can choose from a wide range of shower designs, materials, and fixtures to match your aesthetic preferences.
6. Resale Value: If you plan to sell your home in the future, a well-designed, updated bathroom with a shower can be more appealing to potential buyers than an outdated tub.
7. Safety: For households with small children, a shower can be a safer option than a tub, as there is no risk of slipping and falling while getting in or out of the tub.
8. Ease of Cleaning: Showers are generally easier to clean and maintain compared to tubs. Grout and tile can be easier to
clean than the hard-to-reach areas around a bathtub.
9. Personal Preference: Some people simply prefer showers over baths for their personal comfort and relaxation.
10. Health Considerations: If you or someone in your household has allergies or respiratory issues, showers can help reduce exposure to allergens and irritants such as mold that may accumulate in a bathtub.
