The Top Three Rules to Follow when Choosing a Bath

After years of providing customers with the best baths and other bathroom products in the market, we can honestly say that we have a pretty good idea of what homeowners are looking for. We have noticed that there are some particular aspects that greatly impact the final decision of our buyers. We know what can affect your choice ? whether you are making the right choice, or the wrong one. That being said, here are the top three rules you should follow when choosing a bath for your home.

Consider the size and shape

The first rule when it comes to choosing a bath is determining its shape and dimensions. And this will heavily depend on the shape and dimensions of the area where you are planning to place the bath. You wouldn?t want to choose a bath and then find out that it doesn't fit into the space you have allocated for it! You can avoid disappointment and hassle by taking measurements from the beginning. Make sure to measure the space as accurately as you can. Do it twice, three times if necessary. And, once you take measurements, you can decide on the actual shape, size, and dimensions of the bath ? whether you are interested in freestanding baths, alcove baths, corner baths, or more.

Think about comfort

The second rule is your comfort. How comfortable will you be with the bath you choose? Keep in mind that you will be spending a lot of your time in it, and you?d want it to be as comfortable as can be. When determining the bath?s comfort level, think about who will be using it. How tall or short are they? Some practical considerations include the slope and height of the bath?s backrest, the length of the bath (especially if the user wants to extend their legs), and some additional features such as grab bars, arm rests, and so on. If you are attracted to the idea of a large bath, remember that it might take some time for it to fill, so you have to keep this in mind as well.

Choose the right material

Choosing the right material is the third rule. You have to do the appropriate research when it comes to materials. Acrylic is a popular choice as it is easy to maintain, resilient, and flexible. Acrylic is also lightweight but strong, which enables it to handle wear and tear very well. Fibreglass is another material that has gained a lot of attention for its lightweight quality, strength, and versatility, whilst natural materials like marble are an option for some homeowners. But marble, whilst tough and durable, may be more prone to wear and tear since it may become more porous (and therefore more difficult to maintain) over time.
