How to choose your new bathtub for your bathroom renovation
Purpose
First things first, and with most things at that notion, deciding what you want out of your bathtub. This will help you tremendously when trying to weigh all your options that are out there for your bathroom remodel. Are you looking for a bathtub that is fully functional? Is it solely for bathing yourself, your children, and maybe even your furry friend? Or are you looking for a sanctuary to relax and enjoy whole heartedly? Installing a new tub can be tricky, and you don’t want to do this step twice. Knowing what the function for your tub will help you make the decision of what tub to purchase.
What Type of Renovation
When you decided to renovate your Baltimore home, did you decide how big the job would be? Are you just making some tweaks here and there, or are you doing the overhaul, out with the old in with the new? If you are starting from scratch, this gives a plethora of options to implement into your new renovated bathroom. If you are trying to keep the structure the same, you will be more refined in your choice options. You want to make sure you put something that will be applicable with the space intended.
Save or Replace
If you have a cast iron tub currently, you may want to consider the replacement altogether. Cast iron tubs are difficult to move and replace. This can add much more cost to your total remodel. You can always refinish the tub if it just needs some TLC. If you have your heart set on a brand new tub, then consider what this means for your entire renovation. Look into your budget and make adjustments where necessary.
Comfort
No matter what type of bathtub you are choosing for your newly renovated bathroom, never forget about the comfort factor. Functional bathtubs may seem not as exciting, but you can ensure the comfort it brings to the whole family. If there is way you can sit in a tub, do so. This will give you the full effect, so you can demonstrate how it would feel to sit in a tub that size and dimension.
Weight
When you are considering some heavier models such as cast iron, soaker tubs, and cultured marble you want to make sure your floor and structure can withstand the weight of this type of bathtub. Our contractors will always provide you with the right advice for the correct solution. We would never compromise your new bathroom by installing an unfit tub.
