5) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mostly you're paying for a listing of safety features that are unavailable on a regular bathtub. These safety features are built into walk-in bathtubs for individuals with limited freedom to reduce the possibility of falling down. Model wall heights are generally 37 to 47 inches tall and contain a built in shower seat, textured flooring, grab bars, anti-scald valves, in-line heater, temperature controls, as well as a water-tight door. An essential feature of walk-in tubs is that there is a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned regarding the conventional high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in bathtubs also usually comprise improved drain alternatives, jet treatment, and a cleaning function. Additionally, among the reasons why the cost varies among the walk-in baths is that the tubs are custom-made depending on an individual 's demands rather than factory reproduced, in order to discover a bathtub that is especially made for somebody who needs wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a larger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

6) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Suitable setup and initial testing should give you a leak-proof experience, yet there are incidents where they experienced escapes, that customers report. Under proper circumstances, the weight of the water should compress the door seal making it completely leak proof. Some units contain a second drain below the entrance door to help prevent escapes in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is included ask. As it covers the seal and the door in the case of a flow, we highly advise that you get a lifetime guarantee. Replacement seals will cost you. Also, it is very important to take great attention of the walk in tub door when the bath is not in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down the door seal and door jamb after each use can maintain the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care instructions.

They're easy to clean, but unlike routine baths, itis wise to keep a day-to-day cleaning habit with a walk-in bath utilizing the products that are appropriate and subsequent manufacturer's recommendations. You want to really make sure with a walk-in bath that you remove spots and scum to guard the surface. Get into the habit of wiping down the wet surfaces after every use to help avoid the build up scum, which will need more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to wash your walkin bath. Products that address your specific water stain and deposits should be considered in addition to any signs that these products may ruin the finish on your tub. Since tubs are generally either acrylic or fiberglass, you want to familiarize yourself with the most effective cleaning methods for your type of bath. Fiberglass is porous and brittle and can easily dull and blot. Acrylic is non-porous and easy to clean. Additionally, if the weather permits, air out the room in order that it doesn't remain humid.
