Different bathtub types for bathrooms.
Bathtub types. There are a lot of bathtub types but today I want to write about the most popular and most used ones: Corner bathtubs, recessed bathtubs, freestanding bathtubs and drop-in bathtubs. What does it mean? This means that different bathtubs are installed different. Depending on your bathroom some style of installing may not be suitable for you, but usually it is not a problem at all. Bathroom is not only a room for hygiene, it a place to relax and to warm yourself during cold winter days. If you rent a house or a flat there is no much choice to use the bathtub type you like but if it is your own house why not to buy once but the best one? It is a good investment in your house.
Corner bathtubs. Corner bathtubs usually have two unfinished sides and two or one finished depending on bathtub shape. There can be triangular shape, box shape and most common rectangle shape with is most suitable for most types of bathrooms with standard sizes.
Recessed bathtubs. As well as corner bathtubs recessed ones are suitable for small sized bathrooms, when the space is very important. As compare to price – it is one of the most affordable types of bathtubs and widely available in markets as compare to other ones.
Drop – in bathtubs. This type of tub can be both set into the floor or into a platform. There is a big choice of shapes for this type of bathtub so you have a chance to make your bathroom look really different from others, though such a bathtub needs some more spare place and suitable floor for installing.
Freestanding bathtubs. This type of bathtub does not need a corner, to be installed in, it is independent and stand on four legs. Freestanding bathtubs need both space and money. They are not cheap at all, and you bathroom must be big enough. Advantage of this tub is that you have more choice when designing and decorating your bathroom, you do not need a wall for it and you can decorate the wall. To my mind it is one of the most beautiful types of bathtubs, and what do you think?
Does not matter what type of bathtub you buy, the most important thing is it’s quality. Modern materials for bathtubs ( and also sinks and toilets by the way ) allow to keep them clean longer and need less maintenance and repair as compare to old ones. In my next article I will tell you about different bathtub shapes, sizes and materials and whirlpool tubs.
