A walk-in tub shower combination can help a senior citizen or a person with a defect that limits his mobility get clean more easily. The tub-shower combo works the same way as the more traditional tub and shower combos do. Controls on the front let a person adjust the temperature and flow of the water. The tub has a drain to let the user fill it up with water.
The way a walk-in tower tub shower combo differs from a regular bath tub is that there will be a seat on the inside of the tub. A door opens on the side, much like a vehicle door. When this door is closed, the system becomes watertight.
The sliding door lets a person walk in the tub without having to lifter or lower his legs. For people with Arthritis, injuries, long-term conditions, the act of lifting the legs over the side of the tub can be difficult if not impossible. A person may require aid to get into or out of the shower. A walk-in shower tub combination removes the need for outside of assistance and helps such an individual regain some of independence that they lost or regain independence that they never had.
Walk-in shower tub combos do not require much more space than the traditional shower, although the special construction does make them a little more expensive than they might be. Almost any home contractor can install a tub without too many difficulties. The pipes install to the same places they do in normal units that get installed in your bathroom.
Contractors can finish the job for a few hundred dollars. The home owner or renter must still pay for the unit itself, although insurance or special programs may help a person get exactly what he or she needs. Other people can use the walk-in shower tub unit as a normal shower. The bench is just an added bonus.�
