Question 1

1) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravitation simply drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in bathtub is attached to the standard bath drain, which is threaded into a flat pipe called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using putty or a foam washer under its flange. Comparing double drain alternatives to rapid drain alternatives is important when considering that most walk in baths take between 2 and 3 minutes to drain which requires the temperature in the room be comfortable while they wait. Some attributes may cost you more, so it's almost always advisable to ask. Finally, get to know the difference between frameless tubs since frameless tubs often empty quicker than framed tubs, because they don't alter the drain height of your existing tub and framed tubs. Framed tubs are built on a steel framework and the base of the bath is dangled off the ground. Frameless tubs are designed with an extra-strength mold that does not require a steel framework and the underside of the bathtub is not hung in the air.

Question 2

2) Can I choose the color / style to match my interior decoration?

Choosing the right walk-in tub for you means discussing the number of styles, sizes and layouts to ensure it satisfies your own special needs and room requirements. You may need to pay an added fee for a custom color since most makers make tubs in cream and white.

Our Hampton installer will check to determine if it is not whether the floor is level and otherwise, then they will use the leveling legs to adjust the level of the bath. Obviously, the last tub will need to be removed. In addition, the if replacing tile or the wall in the region will need to be removed.

The walk-in tubs also normally contain improved drain alternatives, jet therapy, and a cleaning function. Furthermore, one of the reasons why the cost changes among the walk-in baths is that the tubs are custom made depending on someone 's demands rather than factory reproduced, so you could discover a tub that is specifically made for somebody who wants wheelchair accessibility, a bath that fits a larger person, or a soaker tub with jets.
