Tub, shower, tub AND shower, which goes where?
Comments (3)Do you have grand-kids, or are you expecting any near your guest bedrooms? If so, do consider having tubs (at least a small 5 foot inexpensive one) for baths. You won't regret that, especially for resale. As for your Master Bath, ask a realtor friend and they will likely tell you it's 'best' for re-sale for a 5-piece Master too, but if you'd much rather have the extra-large shower than a smaller shower and tub, then go for the larger shower and forget the tub. We have an oversized shower (dual heads, etc) and absolutely love it. We have a big jacuzzi tub too and it's nice but doesn't get a whole lot of use. Our overall bathroom is quite large, but if I were limited on space, the tub would be the first to go or at least downsize. As you age, you will probably find a better use for a walk-in shower with things you can add in your later remodel (hand-held rails, bench, etc) than a tub that is hard to step into....See MoreTubs with built-in headrest or Wasauna brand bath tub?
Comments (3)seattlemamadrama ~Well my Wasauna story ended badly. The first tub was drained the wrong way for me. I shipped it back at their expense and received my replacement last week. The crate was in horrible condition, held together by plastic wrap about 2 times around it. The person who sent it to me must have received my tub and we just traded. I sent him one in perfect condition never removed from the crate. The tub he sent me was dirty, removed from the crate and damaged with scratches. I refused the delivery and call Alex for a refund. He tried to give me 300.00 off and get a new one sent to me but I just took my refund. I have not seen the credit on my card as yet, it has been 4 days. I would say stay away from them. I am in the process of looking for something else now. Good luck to you! Mariofo...See MoreJacuzzi Tub and Taking a Shower?
Comments (5)In our previous house, we had one from Jacuzzi that is tub/shower which included the full enclosure. (5w X 2.5d X 7h). We added a steam generator unit and shower wall jets to the side too! We used it weekly for 8 years. Although a little small, we had no problems....See MoreJacuzzi tub + shower combo?
Comments (1)There are several 60" jetted tubs that have an integral tile flanges so that they can be used for a tub/shower. Look for apron front alcove installation types as those are usually the ones designed for this, but it MUST have an integral tile flange to be used as a shower. Many people have used the Kohler Archer or the American Standard Lifetime series. However, because the sides are higher, they are higher to step over and more difficult to use in shower mode. That's the biggest reason that you don't see the combo more often, not that the products are unavailable....See Morezzxx
