Bathtubs are home fixtures that anyone would just love to have. Some may consider it as a luxury; however, if it is a more enjoyable bath time that you desire, then it's a must-have. If you also want to make a night with your partner more romantic, this fixture would definitely help.

What Are Bathtubs?

A bathtub is a container that is big enough to hold water while a person takes a bath. It is really known for making bath time more fun and relaxing since it allows you to stay in the water for as long as you want. With those extra soapy foams, you would feel your body releasing all those mental and physical stress. Aside from making you feel relaxed, bathtubs fixtures make good home decors too. Yes, you can always impress a visitor by having a nice bathtub in the restroom.

The Western-style and Eastern-style tubs are the two styles of tubs that are commonly available now in the market. Their main difference lies in their structure. With the first, you can lie down while bathing as this type is long and shallow. But with the other, you could only stand up since they are short and deep. This second type is common in Japan and is called an "ofuro."

Bathtubs Then And Now

These home products had been known in the past to be of white color and made of steel. With the advancement in today's technology, however, bathtubs have transformed. The modern array of tubs includes those which are made of enamel, fiberglass and acrylic. But for enthusiasts of wood-based home pieces, there are also a range of waterproof wood-based tubs available.

Bathtubs used to come in free-standing piece, but now you can have them built-in or sunk in your very own restroom. Bathtub shapes have also got a modern twist because aside from the typical rectangular tubs, you can now choose among the variety of shapes available especially if you go for the acrylic thermoformed ones. Some pieces and designs of bathtubs are also available now in different colors.

The home design and improvement market can really offer you a wide range of choices for bathtubs. But for only the finest quality, try not to settle for less. Buy your own tub from premium companies or from stores frequented by your friends or family. Make sure you select thoroughly, especially since a bathtub is something personal that you will use for many years. Good luck!
