Have you ever thought of converting your old bathtub into the latest shower? If yes, then you’re not all on your own.
Many people are revealing their preferences for bathing, and most prefer showering. It’s not only that showers are faster than baths. There are also financial, environmental, and safety concerns to take into consideration in addition.
Showers can be:
- Simpler to clean
- In many circumstances, better for the resale homes
- Less water is used than in bathtubs
- Better suited to small bathrooms
Accessibility and Ageing in Place Drive Change
Another factor is the aging of Ottawa. As baby boomers retire in a flurry, they would like to remain in their homes for as long as possible. They are making sure that the safety and accessibility of the bathroom in a house by turning the shower into a bathtub can be very beneficial in this regard.
For instance, elderly homeowners might develop severe or chronic health issues affecting their mobility and security over time. Many people can live in their homes for longer by making a few home adjustments, like showers that convert from tubs to batteries, with seating or step-through inserts.
In a practical sense, with costs for assisted living and nursing care, many homeowners realize they can recover the cost of remodeling their bathrooms in just a few months, thereby saving significant cash.
If this is all clear to you, then a tub-to-shower conversion could be the perfect solution to your bathroom remodel requirements.
The Tub-To-Shower Conversion Method
What exactly is a tub-to-shower conversion? As the name suggests, upgrading your tub to a shower replaces your tub with a contemporary walk-in shower. It could be a conversion from a basin bath to a walk-in shower or a combination of a tub and blitz to a sliding enclosure. In essence, if you want to use the plumbing of your tub of choice, replace the shower fixtures and walls in a matter of days at an affordable price.
