At least once in their lives, everyone has found themselves needing to reno
-
vate their bathroom; usually, a bathtub is installed in the area occupied by
the shower. This is certainly a satisfactory and prac
tical solution, but it doe
s
not take into account future needs and the physical limita
tions that som
e
family members may have
.
A choice of this kind should always take into account not only physica
l
conditions but also the psychological aspect of those who have becom
e
accustomed to bathing in a tub over time; for these people, using a showe
r
can prove to be a psychological impediment
.
Choosing a bathtub with a door is a reasonable compromise, as it can als
o
be used as a shower, ensuring autonomy and privacy. The most obvious
advantage is the ability to sit down, avoiding the risk of falling, while enjoying
the bene
fits of an invigorating bath. Water at the right temperature - set at
around 34 degrees based on body temperature - produces physical and men
-
tal well-being through muscle relaxa
tion, resulting in pain relief and improved
peripheral circula
tion, not to men
tion the feeling of “lightness” guaranteed by
immersion, which gives the sensation of reduced weight
.
A bathtub with a door is recommended, especially for people who live alone
,
as this product allows them to wash themselves independently, avoiding an
y
risk of losing their balance and falling
.
Please note that bathtubs with doors, also known as ‘easy-access’ bathtubs,
are recommended for people with su
fficient mobility; for specific cases, we
suggest evalua
ting alterna
tives that are more suitable for assisted movement
and washing
