Finding the right bathtub and shower

Having a new bathtub or shower installed can leave you with many options as far as style and materials. Here are some things to consider while you are shopping for a new bathtub and shower.

Shower

• Material – There are many shower wall materials to choose from including acrylic, glass tiles, fiberglass, ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, single-sheet plastic, laminated wall panels, vinyl wallpaper, and more! 
• Size – The size of your shower is important to determine the layout of your bathroom, the cost of the installation, and the style options to choose from. 
• Water pressure – When you have a new shower installed, this usually includes new shower heads and valves as well. Knowing your water pressure will help determine the best fit, and if you need added accessories to help with water pressure or temperature. 
• Future – If this is the home you will retire in, having a shower installed that is easily accessible will be great as you age and lose mobility. 

• Material – Bathtubs come in many materials including metal, porcelain, acrylic, glass, cast iron, stone, and more! 
• Type – There are a few general types of bathtubs. Recessed 2-in-1 bathtubs surrounded by three walls are the most common, but there are also corner, drop-in, and freestanding bathtubs. 
• Size – Determining the use of the tub will help you choose the right size. Will this be a standalone whirlpool to submerge 1-2 people, or a 2-in-1 shower tub? 
• Try it out – The best way to see if a bathtub is right for you is to take it for a test ride. Sitting in the tub will help you determine if it is the right size and fits the curve of your back and body.
