The Biggest Mistake People Make While Shopping for a Walk-in Tub
Walk-in tubs provide a safe and comfortable bathing experience for people of all ages and abilities. But not all are designed equal. In some models, the threshold can be as high as 7 inches, which makes entry more difficult.
When shopping for a walk-in tub, many people fail to consider the height of the threshold. One with a low step-in allows you to effortlessly enter and exit your tub with confidence and feel secure every time you bathe.
Read on to learn about the 3 benefits associated with a low step-in tub.
When shopping for a walk-in tub, many people fail to consider the height of the threshold.
Safe Entry
Traditional bathtubs can be as high as 24 inches, making it difficult to lift your leg over the side and increasing the risk of losing your balance. Alternatively, sunken tubs lack rail assistance as you step down. The safest option is a walk-in tub with a low-entry threshold, which allows you to effortlessly enter and exit the tub.
A low threshold helps to prevent slips and falls as you transition from standing to sitting by lowering the barrier between the tub and bathroom floor. For optimal security, combine a low-step in with handrails and slip-resistant surfaces to avoid hazardous falls.
Independence
Designed for people with limited mobility, walk-in tubs create a more accessible bathing experience. With a low-entry threshold, you can bathe in privacy without assistance and maintain your independence in the home you love. The KOHLER® Walk-In Bath has the lowest step-in on the market at just 3 inches high. When shopping for a walk-in bath, compare the height of the thresholds to determine which one is best suited for your needs.
