Which Bathtub Is Right For Your Custom Flower Mound Home?

July 4, 2019

A few decades ago, a bathtub was a bathtub – there wasn’t much difference from one to another, and most were basic for the purpose of getting clean.  Today homeowners want to relax and de-stress after a long day, and bathtubs have come a long way since the 80s and 90s. Our custom Flower Mound home builders want to help you in making the choice that’s right for your family’s needs.

Soaker bathtubs are designed for the ultimate in relaxation, and may include a heater depending on your needs.  Usually a tad shorter in terms of length, soaker tubs are deeper so you can enjoy submerging your entire body comfortably.  Usually found in a circular or oval shape, soaker bathtubs do not include jets.

Whirlpool or jacuzzi tubs are available with water or air jets that provide a relaxing massage.  If you have muscle aches and pains, this may be a good option as the jets help to target various muscles and can be swiveled to your liking.

Corner bathtubs are a good option when you want to optimize floor space and enjoy a spa-like environment.  Because you don’t need a lengthy wall space as you do with standard tubs, corner tubs are ideal for both small and large bathrooms.  Whether an oval, triangular, or circular basin, you will enjoy an experience that’s similar to a hot tub complete with arm and back rests that are molded into the design.

Freestanding bathtubs are much like soaker tubs given they stand alone, and many people today love the clawfoot tub when it comes to style.  While you can incorporate a shower feature in your freestanding tub, it can be difficult trying to work with shower curtains. 

Recessed bathtubs are the most common due to the fact they’re usually the most affordable option.  Bordered by three walls, the recessed tub is often the most efficient when it comes to space, and includes a tub/shower combination so that you have a choice when it comes to bathing or showering.  The majority of recessed tubs are manufactured using steel and an enamel finish, however they’re also available in cast iron for those who prefer a heavier tub. The cast iron tub also has an enamel finish.

These are some of the most popular options in bathtubs for homeowners today, and which you choose depends on a variety of factors including bathroom space/design, ease of use, style preferences, and more.  For all of your custom home needs in Flower Mound, count on Bud Bartley Homes to deliver beyond your expectations!
