Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.
When you're remodeling your bathroom, consider installing a deep bathtub instead of a traditional elongated one. Deep soaking tubs are designed especially for taking a long, relaxing soak, submerged to your neck in hot water. As you explore different types of tubs, keep these interesting facts in mind.
1. Deep tubs are very popular in Japan. In use, the tubs are usually filled with water that is between 102 and 104 degrees which is a bit warmer than people in the United States generally prefer when normally bathing. At this temperature, the soaking water will feel very hot, but does a great job of relaxing your muscles. Many find this soaking process one that is very meditative.
2. A soaking tub designed for one person is often deeper than it is wide. This design leaves a small surface area, with most of the water protected from the ambient temperature of the room. This helps keep the water hot for longer, which lets you take a good, long soak without getting cold.
3. In most cases, the deep soaking tub is made from stainless steel or copper. In addition to having an Eastern appearance that looks much fancier than our traditional white tubs, this material also holds heat very well. Water will stay hot much longer in a tub made from copper or stainless.
4. Rather than having you sit on the bottom of the tub, these tubs have a built-in bench seat, or two in the case of large tubs designed for two people. These seats provide comfort so you don't have to stretch out your legs or fold them uncomfortably under you while you soak.
5. A deep tub can be installed in one of three ways. First, you can set it on existing flooring, which will likely require a stool to help you climb in and out. Second, you can install it with a skirt, which is a raised area to act as a step all the way around to help you get in. The last and probably best way is to recess the tub into the floor so that only part of it is exposed. It will look more like a regular tub this way, but you will be able to step in to get the full depth.
Although you don't see deep soaking tubs in many homes in the United States, they are gaining popularity and can be a great addition to a master bathroom. Just imagine coming home from a long day of work, drawing a bath, and slipping in for a good, long soak.
