Tub-to-Shower Conversion: A Great Aging-in-Place Project

Bathrooms are one of the top areas to prioritize when it comes to safety and mobility remodeling. If you have an old or underused bathtub, why not convert it into a walk-in shower? Tub-to-shower conversions are a very popular aging-in-place project to consider for a number of important reasons:

A Safer Bathing Experience

Stepping over the wall of your bathtub won’t be effortless when you reach a certain age. The slippery surface also poses a safety hazard for everyone, including those with mobility issues. With a tub-to-shower conversion, you can design the space to accommodate individuals who are using wheelchairs or walkers. It can also be customized to comply with ADA requirements and equipped with features such as grab bars, shower seats and easy-to-reach handheld showerheads and shelves.

Easier Cleanup & Maintenance

Bathtubs, especially old and outdated ones, can be hard to clean. This isn’t the case with today’s shower products. They tend to be easier to maintain, with some even engineered to resist mold and mildew growth. All that’s left is to enjoy your daily shower without worrying about the next time you’ll have to clean it.

A More Spacious Bathroom

Converting your bathtub into a shower opens up the whole bathroom space, making it look and feel larger. Moving around won’t be as restricted as before, allowing you to enter and exit the shower with ease even when you don’t use a mobility device.
