Walk-in Tub FAQs
How Does a Walk-in Tub Differ from a Regular Bathtub?
Walk-in tubs allow people with mobility issues to enter without having to raise their leg to step over a high threshold. This reduces the risk of falls and accidents. They also have a sealed, watertight door that allows the tub to be filled to a high level, allowing for people to soak their entire body while sitting comfortably upright on an ADA compliant seat.
Are Walk-in Tubs Only for Older Adults?
While walk-in tubs are designed with accessibility in mind, they can be beneficial for anyone seeking a safer and more comfortable bathing experience, including those with disabilities or mobility issues.
What Safety Features Do Walk-in Tubs Typically Include?
The safety features of our walk-in tubs include non-slip flooring, built-in handrails and grab bars, ADA compliant seating, a low entry threshold, and more.
