What Are the Benefits of a Tub to Shower Conversion?
Many builders default to including a bathtub in the bathrooms of most homes. When it comes to accessibility, practicality, and long-term maintenance, a tub-to-shower conversion may be in your best interest. As homeowners and their family members’ lifestyles change, many are looking to a tub to shower conversion as an accessible solution to the challenges their traditional bathtub poses.
Improved Accessibility in Your Bathroom
Homeowners with mobility issues or disabilities may have trouble getting into and out of a traditional bathtub. A walk-in shower is easier and can be designed with each individual's needs in mind, reducing the potential for slips, trips, and falls.
Some options that increase safety in a walk-in shower are grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and low entrance thresholds.
Built-In Storage Solutions
Bathtubs can take up a significant amount of space in a bathroom, which leaves little to no room for other things like cabinets, sinks and toilets. When a tub to shower conversion is done, homeowners can use the extra space for other things. Reducing bathroom clutter often increases functionality!
Built-in storage can also be used for accessibility and aesthetics. When considering the needs of residents, storage can be placed at the level each individual needs. Aesthetically, the decluttering of toiletries within the shower gives the appearance of a neater, cleaner bathroom.
Improved Water Efficiency
Showers use significantly less water and can be designed with water-efficient fixtures such as low-flow showerheads, which can further reduce water usage. Not only is it eco friendly, but it can result in lower monthly water bills for homeowners!
Another great perk is that water pressure is often improved when a tub to shower conversion is performed. This can make the shower experience more enjoyable and efficient for the homeowner.
Easy to Clean Bathroom
Bathtubs can be cumbersome to clean. When it comes to choosing between a bathtub and shower, why not choose something that will save you time? Stagnant water causes mildew and mold to form, and bathtubs are the perfect breeding grounds for bacteria of these kinds. Standing showers often allow for a better draining system than a tub and can prevent mold and mildew from growing in your bathroom, making your area safer and cleaner!
Modern Bathroom Aesthetics
Decorating can only go so far. Truly modernizing your bathroom happens with a tub to shower conversion. Bathtubs are most often seen in homes from the past - make your living space more contemporary when you remodel your bathroom! As the largest part of your bathroom, your shower or tub is the focal point that your guests will lay eyes on first. This aesthetic change will not only make your experience more enjoyable, but the elevated look will increase the value of your bathroom and home if you choose to resell.
