Small Bathtubs
The Clawfoot Small Bathtub
When remodeling a bathroom, deciding on what features will be included can often be a taxing experience. There are so many choices when it comes to vanities, sinks, faucets, and toilets. However, many people install a traditional bathtub without giving much thought to what else is available. There have been some exciting advancements in the design of bathtubs in the last few years. One of the hottest trends in new bathtubs is going to smaller bathtubs.
Smaller bathtubs can be found to match nearly any décor. Smaller bathtubs will allow full body immersion by increasing the height of the tub instead of the length and width. Many of these taller bathtubs will have handy seats built-in, making it very easy to sit down and enjoy a nice bath. In addition, installing a smaller bathtub in your bathroom can save an incredible amount of space. This added space saving can be utilized for extra storage or to allow for a larger open space in the bathroom.
These smaller bathtubs can be found in a variety of places. Shopping online will yield the biggest selection. There are a number of retailers online that will carry many manufacturers and different styles. Finding a good online retailer can often result in very low prices; however, shipping must also be factored into the pricing.
Another popular place to find small bathtubs is traditional big-box retailers such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. These big retailers pride themselves on low prices and great selections. More often than not, the tub you may want will probably not be in stock at a big retailer because of the size of the item. This may result in having to order the tub and having it delivered. There is often no extra charge for ordering, but may delay your installation.
Finally, do not forget about the local independent home improvement store. Many of these small family-owned lumberyards struggle to compete with the big retailers and online stores these days. However, these retailers will often deliver great customer service along with helpful tips. If you require installation with your small bathtub, these local stores can be a great source for referrals for installers.
Small bathtubs may be ideal for your new bathroom. Remember, you could be able to save space without giving up quality. Shop around and do extensive research on brands to make sure the small bathtub you are buying will meet your needs.
