So, your bathtub is getting old, and you’re thinking that you need an upgrade. Maybe, it’s time to get rid of your bathtub and switch to a spacious shower space. The following are signs that you’re ready to get rid of your old bathtub:
When You Need a Bigger Space
A bathtub occupies a lot of space. Getting rid of your bathtub will make your bathroom look bigger and spacious. Switching to a shower instead of a bathtub is a smarter choice for smaller bathrooms. A shower space will give you more floor space and more room for movement. It’s also a great chance to rearrange your bathroom so you can have more storage space.
When You Want More Efficiency
If you’re making the conscious effort to save water and switch to an energy-efficient lifestyle, a shower would be the right choice for you. A bathtub requires more water and energy compared to using a shower. An average bathtub uses 25 to 45 gallons of water. Taking a shower only requires 20 gallons of water, conserving water for the environment and your utility bills. Bathroom renovation companies also recommend showers to homeowners who prefer low-maintenance bathrooms. A bathtub requires more time in cleaning compared to a shower space.
When You Want Easier Accessibility
A shower space would also be more ideal if you’re living with individuals that may have a hard time getting in and out of the bathtub. Disabled people, the elderly and children require spaces that are convenient for them to use and navigate. A shower would be more easily accessible.
