3 Practical Considerations When Buying a Whirlpool Bath
A whirlpool bath is also commonly known as a Whirlpool bath after the brand of baths that'set the trend for bubbly bathing. Whirlpool baths are increasingly sought-after in the modern home for many reasons. Not only does a whirlpool bath provide you with some much-needed respite from the world at the end of a busy day, it also gives your body the benefits of hydrotherapy. The massaging jets of water help to reduce stress, ease aching muscles, and even allow you to sleep better. But buying a whirlpool bath is not something you should do on a whim ? take a look at the following pointers for selecting your ideal bath and buying something you will love to use.
- Location for your Bath
Probably the most important consideration for installing a whirlpool bath is its location. You are not going to be able to enjoy the tub if it is stuck in an inaccessible part of the bathroom, or if you are not even able to get the tub through the door to install it. Obviously the size and shape of the bathroom affects where you will locate the Whirlpool bath but there are other points to note, for example how far the door opens into the room, whether you will also have room for your toilet and wash basin, etc. Drawing a floor plan with the help of a bathroom professional helps to iron out any space issues. It is also important to remember that a whirlpool bath doesn't have to be huge, so having a smaller bathroom doesn't automatically mean you won?t be able to fit in a Whirlpool.
- Size of Bath
As mentioned above, you can find whirlpool baths in all shapes and sizes. Choose the bath based on the space you have in the room and also how much space you want for stretching out and relaxing. Bear in mind that a very large whirlpool tub will be much heavier when filled with water than your average bath tub, so check with a structural engineer to make sure the floor is suitable, particularly if you are on the first floor.
Another pointer to remember when selecting bath size is the amount of hot water you will need to fill the tub. Will your water tank be big enough for filling the spa bath in one go? Take a look at the practicalities in order to avoid disappointment further down the line.
- Whirlpool Bath Style
The style of bath you choose is largely down to personal preference but you should also consider how it fits with the rest of your bathroom d?cor. You will see many different shapes of bath tub available, some which look more modern than others. If you have a traditional-style bathroom one of the more antique-looking tubs will be better, although you will always be able to see the highly modern fittings for the water jets.
