Purchasing a walk-in tub is an investment in your long-term comfort and safety at home, but finding the right tub can be a challenge.
“With a wide variety of walk-in tubs to choose from, it can feel overwhelming for many seniors – that’s why we offer a zero-obligation, free quote and consultation meeting to all our new clients,” says Rick Perkins, owner of Walk-In Tubs Thompson Okanagan.
“As seniors ourselves we know how high-pressured the sales experience can be when considering a walk-in tub and we wanted to provide a more comfortable, honest experience that’s information-based and keeps our clients’ best interests at heart.”
With many styles and designs, you’ll find tubs for small spaces and tight budgets, for simple comfort or a more luxurious experience. Here’s a look at some of the options:
Best tubs for small spaces
- Rio: A compact 26”-wide design, Rio’s small footprint is perfect for tight spaces while still ensuring you get all the features you need, like high-flow taps that fill the tub in less than four minutes, and an outward swinging door.
- Zen: Another great option for smaller bathrooms is the Zen. What sets it apart from the Rio is its taller walls, which allow it to use less water then other models – perfect for bathers who prefer to sit upright.
Best tubs for tight budgets
- So-Lo: A walk-in tub should be attainable for all seniors wanting to stay in their home for longer, so the So-Lo is an affordable solution for those working with a tighter budget.
- Panama: This is Perkins’ most popular model, available with just the standard features like high-flow taps and quick draining.
Best tubs for comfort and hydrotherapy
- Grandeur: With a large 32”-wide outward-swinging door and 30”-wide seat, the Grandeur is indeed as grand as its name implies. Offering a comfortable, spacious bathing experience for everyone, it can easily accommodate add-ons like heated seats, jets and lighting.
- Oasis: The newest model to join the lineup, the Oasis is the gold-standard for walk-in tubs. Offering a 60” length, the Oasis is the longest tub available and was designed with optimal relaxation in mind with its reclined backrest that allows for a neck-deep bathing experience.
