Taking a bath can be one of the best ways to unwind after a long day, but a long soak can quickly become dangerous for those with limited mobility. Fortunately, walk-in bathtubs like the ones we install at Luxury Bath & Kitchens are the perfect solution.
Equipped with a variety of safety features, walk-in tubs are designed to give you peace of mind and help you stay independent while you bathe. If you have been considering upgrading the accessibility of your Raleigh home with a walk-in tub, it is important to understand the various features and options of these safe and accessible fixtures.
Why Are Walk-in Tubs Beneficial?
Many homeowners wish to enjoy a bath regularly. Unfortunately, the risk for slip and fall accidents in the tub is high, especially as we age. Walk-in tubs help you stay safe, comfortable, and independent while you bathe.
The Various Features and Options of a Walk-In Tub
Walk-in tubs are a safer choice than traditional ones and come with an array of features designed to prevent accidents. The features and options of a walk-in bathtub include:
- Low-Threshold Entry: One of the most important features of a walk-in tub is its low-threshold entry which allows you to safely step into the bath rather than swing your legs over the side.
- Grab Bars: Many walk-in tubs, including the ones installed by Luxury Bath & Kitchens have the option of safety grab bars. These add stability and are a great way to prevent slip and fall accidents.
- Comfortable, Built-In Seating: Seating is a key part of any tub, and when you choose a walk-in tub, you will have the option of an elevated seat which will make your bathing experience safer and more comfortable.
- Heat-Retaining Materials: At Luxury Bath & Kitchens, our walk-in tubs are made from Luxsan acrylic, which retains heat for a longer time than most traditional tubs and will make your bathing experience more luxurious.
- Massaging Jets: Have aches and pains or a ton of stress from a long day? With a walk-in tub, you will have the option of adding massaging whirlpool jets for a truly spa-like experience.
