The Dos and Don'ts ...
The DOS
Do Measure Your Space
Accurately measure your bathroom space to ensure it fits. Consider the length, width, and depth, as well as the space required for plumbing and fixtures.
Do Consider the Material
Choose a material that suits your needs and preferences. Popular options include acrylic (lightweight and affordable), cast iron (durable and heat-retentive), stone (luxurious and unique), and copper (eco-friendly and aesthetic).
Do Think About Comfort
Consider the shape and depth of the tub for comfort. A soaking one with a sloped backrest can provide a more relaxing experience. Make sure it is deep enough if you prefer a full soak.
Do Prioritize Safety
Ensure it has safety features if needed, such as non-slip surfaces or grab bars, especially if it will be used by elderly individuals or young children.
Do Evaluate Installation Requirements
Understand the installation process and any potential challenges. Some tubs, like freestanding ones, may require different plumbing setups compared to built-in options.
Do Consider the Weight
Take into account the weight, especially if it will be installed on an upper floor. Heavy tubs, like cast iron or stone, may need reinforced flooring.
Do Factor in Maintenance
Consider how easy the material is to clean and maintain. For example, acrylic ones are easy to clean but may scratch more easily, while stone one requires regular sealing.
Do Think About Water Usage
Evaluate the water capacity and how much your water heater can handle. Large ones require more water, which could increase your utility bills.
Do Match with Your Bathroom Style
Choose a bathtub that complements the overall design and style of your bathroom, whether it’s modern, traditional, or electric.
Do Budget Appropriately
Set a budget that includes not just the cost but also installation, plumbing adjustments, and any additional fixtures or features you might want.
The DON'TS
Don’t Overlook the Drain Location
Ensure the drain placement (center, left, or right) matches your bathroom’s plumbing setup. Incorrect placement can lead to costly plumbing modifications.
Don’t Ignore Ergonomics
Avoid the ones that look good but are uncomfortable to use. Test the ergonomics by sitting in the tub before purchasing, if possible, to ensure it suits your body shape and size.
Don’t Forget About Accessibility
Don’t choose ones that are difficult to access, especially if mobility is a concern. Consider walk-in tubs or those with lower sides for easier entry and exit.
Don’t Skimp on Quality
Avoid choosing it based solely on price. Low-quality materials can lead to issues like cracking, fading, or poor heat retention over time.
Don’t Ignore Long-Term Needs
When selecting a bathtub, consider future needs. A design that works well now might not be practical in a few years, particularly as you age.
Don’t Choose Solely for Aesthetics
A visually appealing one may not always be the most functional choice. Balance aesthetics with practicality, comfort, and durability.
Don’t Overwhelm a Small Space
Avoid selecting ones that’s too large for your bathroom. An oversized tub can make the space feel cramped and reduce functionality.
Don’t Overlook Ventilation
Ensure your bathroom has proper ventilation, especially if you’re installing a large soaking tub or a whirlpool. Poor ventilation can lead to moisture problems.
Don’t Neglect Matching Fixtures
Ensure that the bathtub’s faucet and fixtures match the rest of your bathroom in style and finish. Mismatched hardware can detract from the overall design.
Don’t Forget About Maintenance Costs
Consider the long-term maintenance and potential repair costs, especially with advanced features like jets or built-in heating systems.
