Just as you should be selective about the bathroom contractor you will hire, you need to carefully choose the products you purchase for your remodeling project. Depending on your needs, it’s worth investing in a deep soaking tub. This is a freestanding tub, usually oval, with sufficient depth to let you completely submerge your body.
About Soaking Tubs
What Separates Soaking Tubs From Standard Tubs?
A deep soaking tub generally has a depth of at least 36 inches. Compared to a conventional bathtub, this tub can ease your muscles more effectively because your whole body is submerged.
What Is a Soaking Tub Usually Made Of?
The most common materials used for soaking tubs include enameled cast iron, stone resin and acrylic. Enameled cast iron is known for its excellent durability, ease of maintenance and exceptional heat retention. Acrylic offers flexibility and comes in a wide range of shapes and designs. Then there are stone resin tubs that possess the combined benefits of the three materials. They have superior heat retention, a more natural appearance than polished stone and come in various designs and shapes to complement every bathroom.
What Are the Advantages?
You can count on a deep soaking tub to elevate your bathing experience and alleviate stress. Less heat evaporates from a deep soaking tub, thanks to its smaller water surface area, allowing you to sit back and relax for a longer time.
To enjoy the benefits of this tub, be sure to work with a reliable contractor for your bathroom remodeling project. Online, you can look up “bathroom remodeler” or “home remodeler near me” and find a list of companies in your area. You can also ask your friends and family for contractors they can recommend. Before hiring a remodeler, be sure to research, read reviews, request estimates and ask for references.
When Is a Soaking Tub Not Ideal for You?
Installing a deep soaking tub isn’t the best option for all bathrooms. If you have a small bathroom, the addition of this tub may not be possible. Fortunately, most deep soaking tubs can take the place of standard bathtubs because they are simply taller, not wider. Consulting an expert is essential before getting one for your space.
