Best walk-in-tubs and showers

Raul Sims

You can walk into a hotel or a clinic. You can own a walk-in wardrobe without much problem. But walk-in bathtubs and especially those in combination with a shower are entirely another thing. These are perfect for many reasons. Apart from the opulence factor, they are, in fact, safer for children and seniors alike. Listed below are some of the best walk-in tubs and showers you can find in the market. Consider installing one and walk into a whole new bathing experience!

AmeriGlide
AmeriGlide is a North Carolina-based company founded in 2004. It is an online distributor of many products, from stairlifts to walk-in bathtubs. The firm is known for its price transparency and excellent product documentation. If you are looking for walk-in access, a leak-proof door, and a whole bath-soaking experience, AmeriGlide is the company for you. And what’s more, you can also save money in the process, for AmeriGlide offers the most competitive prices in the market. The lowest-priced walk-in tub costs about $2300. Some models come with elevation, hydrotherapy jets as well as auto-drain features. And the warranty for each differs from part to part. While most products have a lifetime warranty on door seals, the tub itself has a 10-year warranty, while the faucets come with only a period of 1-year. In the $3000 to $4000 range, all tubs have seats, and in the $3,300 and $5000, there is wheelchair access, wide swing doors, and higher seating available. For the luxury of hydro and air therapy jets, you will have to pay more. But the high-quality products from AmeriGlide, at their reasonable cost and the customer satisfaction they come with, are worth it.

American Standard
One of the most popular names in bathroom fixtures is American Standard. The over 130 years of experience allows the company to offer you a choice of over 200 types of walk-in bathtubs. These come in many subtypes – air baths, soaking tubs, walk-in whirlpool tubs. The tub finish can be gel-coat or premium acrylic. Getting a spa-like experience at home could not be easier. And for all the features, maintenance is easy too with a self-cleaning sanitary system. The safety features are top of the line making it perfect for seniors and even others who are accident-prone. The American Standard walk-in tubs start from $4300, while the luxury series begins at $10,000. It is easy to purchase from this brand. The tubs are available on the company website, where you can buy from the manufacturer itself directly, but the brand is just as readily available in home improvement stores. American Standard also offers a range of products that you can use to create an exquisite walk-in shower.

Safe Step Hybrid
If luxurious and top-of-the-line are the words that describe your lifestyle, then the walk-in shower-tub combo from Safe Step Hybrid is the right choice for you. With a fully adjustable hand shower and an 8-inch rainfall showerhead, the hybrid works somewhat like a skilled masseuse and can revitalize tired and sore muscles. The MicroSoothe Air therapy system releases oxygen-enriched bubbles allowing you to experience a ritzy spa at home. All left-handed people out there will be pleased to know that most models of Safe Step Hybrid Walk-in Tubs and Showers come with both right and left-handed doors. Chromotherapy and Aromatherapy features are also available. Besides, there is a heated seat and back system to ensure you do not have to experience cold water for even a few minutes. Safety and ozone sanitization are ADA compliant, and installation costs are part of the cost of the tubs. One thing to watch out for is the dimensions of these walk-in tubs and showers; they are not available online. There is a lifetime warranty on almost all products as well.
