With so many bathroom remodeling options available to homeowners these days, you can easily avoid tight, uncomfortable, and potentially hazardous enclosures. In fact, there are many benefits to getting a type of remodel called a tub-to-shower conversion, especially if you are aging in place at home or use mobility aids on a daily basis.
How Tub-to-Shower Conversions Save Space in the Bathroom
One immediate benefit of getting a bath conversion is the increased floor space. If your bathroom is short on square footage it can be difficult to move around in or can leave you feeling cramped. A bathtub-to-shower conversion allows you to move around more easily, even if you don't need to take a shower.
Plus, you can free up a few extra feet of floor space by switching to a smaller replacement shower enclosure. Use this space for a hamper, bathroom shelving, or just keep it open.
Are Tub-to-Shower Conversions Really Safer than a Traditional Shower-Tub Combo?
Slips and falls are among the most common household injuries. A place where these injuries can occur is the bathroom, especially when stepping into and out of wet, slippery bathroom enclosures. While the occasional fall may not cause harm, the risks of injury do increase with age.
If you are considering aging in place at home a bathtub-to-shower conversion can help reduce the risk of these kinds of accidents, while also making your bathroom experience more enjoyable.
Wondering how?
Shower bases have much lower entry thresholds. Even the highest shower base is only a few inches off the floor. Bathroom remodelers can even install roll-in shower enclosures with no-threshold entries. These shower styles are ideal for homeowners who want easy access without worry.
ADA-complaint bathroom accessories further reduce the risk for homeowners. Have a contractor install bench seating if you have trouble standing for long periods of time. Or, you can add sturdy grab bars to steady yourself as you move into and out of the shower enclosure.
