Question 1

1) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are not difficult to clean, but unlike routine tubs, it is a good idea to keep a daily cleaning custom with a walk-in bathtub using the products that are appropriate and following manufacturer's recommendations. You would like to really make sure with a walk-in bath that you remove spots and scum to defend the surface. Depending on whether you have soft water, hard water, or well water, you may see several types of stains and deposits in your bath. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help prevent the build up scum, that will necessitate more scrubbing later. Weekly, use cleansers to clean your walk in tub. Products that address your special water blot and deposits should be considered in addition to any indicators that these products may destroy the finish on your tub. Since baths are generally either acrylic or fiberglass, you want to get familiar with the very best cleaning techniques for your type of bath. Fiberglass is porous and fragile and can easily dull and spot. Acrylic is nonporous and easy to clean. Also, if the current weather allows, air the room out in order that it does not stay humid all day. Some manufacturers recommend that your own bathroom window opens for an hour every single day to let moisture escape.

Question 4

Yes, they can leak. Another common complaint from people who purchased a poor quality bath and tried to save money stems from door leaks. Ensure the walk in bath is powerful and stiff to prevent any flex that inhibits a watertight door. Additionally during transporting any damage that may have happened can loosen fittings and mishandling and cause leakage. Before using the walk-in tub, it is significant the installer analyze the bathtub properly according to the instruction manual. If the tub is not installed level together with the supporting features provided, the water may have problem draining properly and might cause the door to leak. Eventually, make sure you comprehend the risks related to the placement of your walk in bathtub, notably alcoves, since they have particular requirements to prevent leaking.

Question 5

Yes. Check with the makers about Kentucky choices. Some offer colours which are uniform with most toilets. Selecting the right walk-in bathtub for you means discussing the selection of layouts, sizes and fashions to make sure it satisfies your own special needs and room conditions. Since most producers make bathtubs in cream and white, you might have to pay an additional fee for a custom shade.

Question 6

6) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mainly you are paying for a listing of safety features which are not accessible on a regular bath. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for individuals with limited freedom to reduce the likelihood of falling down. An important aspect of walk in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to readily enter into the tub unconcerned regarding the typical high wall of a normal bathtub. The walk-in tubs also normally contain jet therapy, a cleaning function, and improved drain options. Furthermore, among the reasons why the cost varies among the walk in tubs is that the baths are custom-made depending on someone 's needs rather than factory copied, in order to discover a tub that's especially made for somebody who wants wheelchair accessibility, a tub that fits a bigger person, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 7

7) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you enter the walk in tub, by pulling the handle toward you, you shut the doorway and seal it. Make sure the handle is locked in order to prevent any water loss. There are different kinds of handles determined by the model you decide to buy. Make certain it's a handle which you can quickly work. Then, you close the floor drain and ensure that the anti-scald device has been preset before using the tub. Makers might also advocate a maximum time of use. Once you've finished your bath, remove the drain depending on the type of drain or turn the overflow knob you need to drain the water. Pull on the tub exit and handle the bath.

Question 8

8) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems use a gravitation only drainage system, while other makers offer power assisted drainage systems. Ordinarily, the drainage system in a walk-in bath is attached to the normal bath drain, which is threaded into a horizontal conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed using putty or a foam washer under its flange. Some features may cost you more, so it is almost always wise to ask. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless baths and framed baths since because they don't change the drain height of your existing tub frameless baths tend to empty faster than framed baths. Framed baths are made on a steel frame as well as the bottom of the bathtub is suspended off the floor. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength mold that really doesn't necessitate a steel frame and the underside of the bath is not hung in the air.

Question 9

9) Will a tub like this look bad for my homeowner’s insurance in Kentucky?

Check with your Covington homeowner's insurance to ensure it's going to cover you against this sort of damage. You may need a home alteration permit from the Covington, KY building department to put in a bath, particularly if walls have to be removed to coordinate with your toilet plans. Most importantly, you didn't get one AND somehow and in case you needed a license your home suffers from damage from the installed walk-in bathtub, your homeowner's insurance may not cover your losses. If you plan on selling your Covington dwelling, there are heaps of buyer beware messages out there that will steer prospective buyers from your home if there have been any progress without licenses since it does influence homeowner's insurance. Buyers see their homeowners insurance and the licenses as protections on their investments in homes.

Question 10

10) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin tub installations that give you a large standing place for standup showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Make sure you get the correct dimensions for the walk-in bath so that you don't feel cramped during a stand-up shower. Also, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet place, since if your faucet is not right against a wall, it is much harder to tap into your existing shower should you would like to maintain your standing shower.
