One of the best ways to transform your bathroom into one of luxury is to convert your tub/shower combo into a luxurious shower. More and more people are finding that they don’t have a need for a bathtub in their bathroom. There are several reasons why it may make sense to convert your tub into a shower. Regardless of the reason why you have chosen to create a luxurious shower, you should know what the process entails. JBS Custom Remodeling is here to talk about what you should expect when you’re getting ready to convert your bathtub into a shower.
Is it a Good Idea to Convert Tub to Shower
There are many benefits that come from turning your bathtub into a shower. Here are some of the main ones you will see.
– Bathroom Appears Larger: The seamless look that you get when you remove the tub from your bathroom is going to help you space appear larger.
– Improved Accessibility: If there are elderly persons living in your home, you may be happy to have a shower that you don’t have to climb into like you do with a bathtub.
– Easier to Clean Bathroom: Climbing into a bathtub to clean it can be difficult. When you have an open shower space, it can be much easier to clean and maintain.
– Better Draining: With a shower, you don’t have to worry about standing water in your bathroom anymore. The shower floor will be sloped to help the water drain like it should.
– Modern Bathroom Design: Eliminating the bathtub in your bathroom is a way to add modern design to your space.
