Should You Keep Your Bathtub?

When it comes to designing modern or contemporary homes, there are plenty of reasons to ditch bathtubs — and plenty of reasons not to. In this article, bathroom remodelers at South Shore Dream Bath talk about why you should keep the tub instead of converting it into a shower space.

Homes With Bathtubs Are Generally More Desirable

Even if the adults in your home do not like soaking in a tub, it is quite essential for bathing smaller children. Also, if you are planning on selling your home in the near future, many potential buyers find residential properties with at least one tub a lot more appealing than those that do not have that option. If for some reason you are concerned about trip-and-fall accidents in the bathroom, there are many tub options that offer accessibility for all ages and mobilities without sacrificing optimal comfort.

Benefits of Having a Bathtub

• It provides the opportunity to soak in warm water to soothe your tired muscles. If you experience all sorts of aches and pains that slow you down each day, having a tub in one of your bathrooms at home can help you take care of the issue.

• It helps you improve your breathing. Do you experience difficulty in breathing during the colder seasons or because off a health condition? A steaming hot bath can be the perfect solution to alleviate your worries. In fact, the combined temperature of the water and pressure on your chest can help improve your lung capacity and oxygen intake.
