Bathroom Remodeling Company Offers Practical Alternative to Trending Hammock Bathtub Design

Glendale Heights, IL (PRWEB) July 09, 2013

Bathtubs have become a universal symbol for relaxation in the bathroom. Recently, UK-based company Splinter Works decided to take relaxation in the bathroom to a new level by creating the Vessel, a combination of a hammock and bathtub. The Vessel is a hammock styled bathtub that offers a sleek and curvy design for bathers. While visually stunning,bathroom remodeling company Luxury Bath argues that the hammock bathtub design lacks practicality in the bathroom.

Heavy Installation

The hammock bathtub doesnt consider itself a lightweight when it comes to installation. The bathtub would need to be suspended with heavy wall brackets, said Davis Glassberg, President of Luxury Bath. Youll need strong wall supports not only for the weight of the tub, but for the weight of the bather and water as well. Eliminating the need for major demolition, bathroom remodeling company Luxury Bath solves this problem by utilizing one-day bathroom remodeling. Limiting heavy demolition with its tub liners and wall surrounds, Luxury Bath provides affordable and easy installation for homeowners.

Loss of Space

Spanning just under nine feet long, the hammock bathtub enjoys being the center of attention in the bathroom. While the nine foot bathtub offers a roomier bathing experience, the bathroom space itself suffers. This wasnt designed for a small bathroom, said Glassberg. The water system alone has to account for added space. The water in the hammock bathtub empties from the bottom, requiring a drain on the floor, while a free standing faucet is required to fill it. Bathroom remodeling company Luxury Bath knows space in the bathroom is import, offering bathroom remodeling products like custom fitted tubs and tub to shower conversions, letting users utilize more of the bathroom area.

Functionality

The design of the hammock bathtub evokes relaxation and calmness in the bathroom, though Luxury Bath sees it more as a hazard to bathers. It looks difficult to get in and out while bathing, said Glassberg. Unlike the hammock bathtub, bathroom remodeling company Luxury Bath offers safety grab bars for easily getting in and out of the tub or shower. This would be especially difficult for the older generation of bathers, said Glassberg. You need to find the right balance between design and functionality, especially with everyday products like the bathtub.
