Walk In Tubs

      The walk in tub is an ideal bathtub for the elderly, those with limited mobility as well as caregivers who give assistance to others.  This tub is unique in its compact design.  The shape of the walk in tub is taller as well as narrower than the average bathrub making it a considertaion for those with limited space as well.

The real appeal is that you simply open a watertight door and step into the unit as opposed to having to climb in and out of a traditional bathtub.  Once seated in the unit the faucets are designed to easily regulate the temperature of the water.  With some models of walk in tubs, the door opens inward while other models the door opens outwards.  Considertaion should be given as to which way would perform best for  your specific needs.

The following are some other design options or features that may be of interest to you.  Walk in tubs can also double as a shower with an optional canopy, you may also want to consider handgrips or models with anti slip bases.  A wonderful option  would be the addition of an hydrotherapy system to alleviate aches and pains.  Let us help you in finding the right tub for you.
