How to buy a bathtub

Image
Whether ritualistic, religious or curative, bathing has always been about more than just personal hygiene, and the modern bathroom is no exception. Not just a functional space, it’s a haven to retreat to after a hard day, somewhere to relax mind and body. The bath is the focal point, so it makes sense to choose one that’s beautiful as well as useful. But with hundreds of shapes, styles and materials available, where do you start? Don’t get into a lather – we’ve found the hottest tubs to suit every budget. Before you buy a bath ‘Never buy a bath on a whim,’ warns Jonathan Carter , marketing manager at Victoria & Albert . ‘To ensure you’re happy with your investment, reserve time for choosing the right one.’ The first things to consider are space and budget, and how much of each you have. As a general rule, a freestanding bath will take up more inches and more pennies than a built-in number. Combined bath and shower Think about who will be using your new bath and in which way. ‘Showe...

Shower Solutions | Kitchen Bath Design

Building Sep 10, 2009   Share Shower and bath manufacturers are touting eco-friendly advances that won’t sacrifice the spa-like feel.
