Shower or bathtub: how to choose?
Although we only sell bathtubs , we will be as objective as possible to provide you with quality advice. When renovating a bathroom, the question may indeed arise. To decide between a shower or a bathtub, you should consider certain parameters. Let's provide more details without further ado!
The space available for your shower or bathtub
The size of your bathroom will first determine your choice. Ultimately, the question may not arise. For example, if you have a tiny bathroom, a square or quadrant shower will probably be the only viable solution. To save maximum space, you could install a 70x70 cm or 80x80 cm shower.
To install a bathtub , you need enough space. At Spalina, we still offer a " small bathtub " selection if you have a small room.
Do you have a very large bathroom? Then why not install a shower and a bathtub for optimal comfort?
Your age and household composition
Should you install a shower or a bathtub in your master bathroom? The answer will vary depending on your age and the composition of your household .
If you have a family with young children, a bathtub is preferable. This will make it easier for you to bathe your children. They will also enjoy baths more, as they will enjoy playing with their floating toys.
Are you starting to experience mobility issues ? If so, a shower will make your daily life easier by preventing you from having to climb over the edge of your bathtub every day. A non-slip shower will also reduce the risk of falling.
Are you young and active , without children and without mobility problems? You must then consider your habits and desires to decide between a shower or a bathtub (see next section). One caveat, however, is that if you plan to have a family very soon, a bathtub will be the best option (see explanations above).
Your lifestyle habits and desires
Of course, your lifestyle habits will also impact your decision between a shower or a bathtub.
If you hate baths, the choice will be easy. On the other hand, if you enjoy taking one from time to time, we recommend installing a bathtub. And if you want to treat yourself , we suggest a whirlpool bath .
With such a bathtub, you can enjoy real moments of well-being at home thanks to delicious massage jets . At Spalina, we also offer single and double whirlpool bathtubs. Don't hesitate to discover our catalog if we have piqued your curiosity!
Your budget
Your budget may also affect your choice between a shower or a bathtub. Generally, a shower will cost less than a bathtub, including the cost of the equipment and installation. Therefore, if you're on a tight budget, we recommend having a shower installed.
Namely, our most affordable bathtub costs 859 euros (several models are available at this price).
The destination of your accommodation
Have you purchased your home to live in, spend your vacation there, or rent it out? The purpose of your home will influence your choice.
If you plan to live in your home or come there for holidays or weekends, you will need to take into account the parameters mentioned above.
On the other hand, if your property is intended for rental , we recommend that you choose based on the type of property. In the case of a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, a shower will do. On the other hand, if your accommodation has two or more bedrooms, it will mainly attract families with children. This is why a bathtub will be preferable.
