Bathrooms are considered the most dangerous room in any home due to our high water usage while utilizing these spaces. Between the wet areas, like showers and bathtubs, as well as sinks, and the increased humidity, the chances of slipping and falling in the bathroom are far greater than in any other room in a typical home.
At Clear Choice USA, we know this firsthand. We've been a trusted bathroom remodeling contractor in Southwest Florida since 2007, and have devised ADA-compliant solutions for customers with limited mobility or concerns about safety. One of our favorite solutions is a walk-in tub installation—continue reading to learn more about how these specialized products can instantly restore your peace of mind when bathing!
Easiest Possible Entry and Exit
If your main concern is safety during your upcoming bathroom remodel, scheduling a walk-in bathtub installation will help ease many of your worries! Standard bathtubs have 14"—20" walls that you need to clear in order to enter, which is a feat much easier said than done for many folks!
As their name suggests, walk-in tubs feature hinged doorways, so you can walk into or out of this type of tub without lifting your feet up and over a ledge. Just open the door, step inside, and close the door behind you for a stress-free start to your bath.
Avoiding Slipping and Falling
Aside from their easy-to-use doorways, walk-in bathtubs come with many more design elements to promote safety and accessibility. If you opt for a standard replacement bathtub, your risk of slipping and falling continues as you try to sit down in the tub, maneuver around, and stand back up afterwards. However, walk-in tubs come with many features to keep you safe throughout the duration of a bath, including:
- Built-In Seating
- Slip-Resistant Flooring
- Accessible Controls
- Plenty of Space
- Grab Bars
Additional Features for Added Comfort
Since many homeowners interested in walk-in bathtubs live with limited mobility, these products offer even more advantages to help folks relax and feel more comfortable. In addition to improved safety and accessibility, your new walk-in tub will come with exciting perks such as:
- Hydrotherapy Jets: Walk-in tubs come with hydrotherapy jets, which relieve joint stiffness, arthritis symptoms, and muscle tension, while promoting improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and better sleep.
- Fast-Drain Technology: Walk-in tubs come with deep basins, but that doesn't mean you have to wait for an hour while it fills and drains—thanks to fast-drain technology, your fixture will be completely drained in no time!
As with other types of bathroom remodels, your experience with your walk-in tub will depend heavily on the quality of the installation. That's why you want to work with a seasoned team like ours at Clear Choice USA. We've earned many accolades over the years for our commitment to excellence, including an A+ and accreditation with the BBB, multiple "Best of Everything in Southwest Florida Awards" from the Fort Myers News Press, and countless 5-star reviews from previous customers.
