From A Sad Old Tub To A Super-Convenient, Inviting Walk-In Shower
A Saukville Home’s Bathroom Transformed
Through A Tub-To-Shower Conversion
From Their Old Ratty Tub To A Beautiful,
Convenient Walk-In Shower System
Let’s look at a recent tub-to-shower conversion we did for a friendly family in Saukville, WI.
While there weren’t any glaring problems with the old bathtub (aside from what you’ll see below), the homeowners needed something modern that was handicap accessible. Their old, outdated bathtub wasn’t cutting it. The time had come for high-quality bathtub replacement.
After looking at all the variables and benefits, a stylish tub-to-shower conversion was the obvious way to go. They chose a subtle walk-in shower that updates the entire bathroom with a more open and inviting space.
Walk-ins make bathroom areas appear bigger.
Why Not A New Tub & Shower Combo?
The problem with a traditional tub & shower combo for them is the high ledge on the bathtub. This makes it difficult to get in and out safely. The Ozaukee County homeowners needed something handicap-accessible as they continued to age.
There are Before & After images below, but here are some features they now enjoy:
- With their new walk-in shower, they don’t have to worry about getting in and out of the tub.
- The low barrier dramatically reduces slips and falls.
- The overall aesthetic matches the rest of their older home while being modern.
- A handheld showerhead is convenient, combined with the handlebar and storage.
Their new bathing experience is both more accessible and more functional. It feels classy and upscale in person, again creating a cleaner, inviting bathroom setting. Check out the overall transformation.
Along with the low barrier and grab bar, the shower system has a textured shower pan to help prevent slips and falls. A great success. It’s easy to see why these walk-ins are so popular with aging people and families in all age groups.
If you look at the studies on the subject, traditional ‘bathing’ in a tub is a once-in-a-great-while experience in America. We don’t do it as often anymore, especially now that there are much better options like walk-ins. If you’re interested, TightSeal can answer all your questions!
