Everyone in your home uses the bathtub. From your toddler to your pet and everyone charged with their care, the tub will serve every member of your household. So, it only makes sense that your tub would be a priority when it comes time for a bathroom remodel. When considering bathtub installation in Kansas city, consult with a professional.
What is the perfect tub size for your space? That depends on the amount of space you have, as well as how you want to use it. Here is your guide to the many types of tubs available in various sizes:
Mobile Home Bathtub
You don’t have to have a mobile home to choose this compact tub model. Perfect for tight spaces and families with shorter members, these generally measure around 54 inches in length and 28 inches in width.
Alcove Bathtubs
These tubs are usually tucked into a designated, built-in space. They are usually the traditional rectangle shape but may also be triangular for corner bathtub alcoves.
A rectangular alcove bathtub is usually about 60 inches long and 30-34 inches wide. Longer versions exist for taller bathers and those who enjoy soaking in baths; these may be referred to as soaker tubs and generally are taller and therefore deeper. However, most soaker tubs are generally freestanding to allow for this greater basin depth.
Freestanding Tubs
Speaking of freestanding tubs, these are among the most unlimited in terms of style and size. Given that they are not constrained by the same limitations as alcove or tight-space tubs, you can really get creative with these models. For those looking for the largest, deepest, or most deluxe tub models, a freestanding soaker tub might be your best bet.
