How to Improve the Safety of the Bathtub?

With the improvement of people's living standards, everyone is more seeking to improve the quality of life. When decorating, everyone will match the corner bathtub or clawfoot bathtub in the bathroom. Soaking in the bathtub has certain benefits. Soaking in the bath can relieve physical fatigue, promote metabolism and detoxification, but how do we improve the safety of the bathtub shower?

 

 

How to improve the safety of the bathtub?

 

1. Non-slip surface

Due to the treatment of water, you want to maximize the non-slip surface around the bathtub. Consider your bathroom floor: what is it made of? Will this make it safer? JANEDO recommends using vinyl flooring as one of the most affordable and safest choices for bathroom safety. If you want to add a non-slip surface without adjusting the floor, you can consider adding some non-slip carpet around the bathtub. Non-slip carpets are affordable and allow you to add some style to your safety options.

 

2. Easy to hold the armrest

You need a stable surface to support your body when going up and down the bathtub. Therefore, we recommend that your bathtub includes grabbing bars. You can use them consistently to help you maintain a sense of security throughout your self-care process. If you suffer from arthritis or poor knees, grabbing bars can help reduce pressure in the bathroom. In addition, to increase support, install handrails. They provide strong support when you sit and stand in the bathtub.

 

3. Extra wide bath chair

Bath seats are a fast and economical way to add more safety and stability to your bathroom. The bath seat can help you maintain a comfortable posture in the bathtub. You can find many available options online. You can choose the bathroom seat that best suits your style and safety needs.

 

4. Barrier-free super wide door

If your bathroom doorway is narrow, you may encounter additional difficulties when trying to enter the bathroom. In addition, if you are using a walker or wheelchair, the narrow doorway will cause more inconvenience. To avoid this, you can create an ultra-wide, accessible door that provides you with extra space when operating through the doorway. JANEDO recommends leaving a five-foot open area around the bathroom entrance. You want to leave enough space for the wheelchair to enter the bathroom safely. This can help you avoid hitting the bathroom counter or towel rack.

 

5. Install a walk-in bathtub

The walk-in bathtub is one of the most strategic ways to ensure bathroom safety. The walk-in bathroom includes a doorway with a protective cover to ensure your safety. Spacious bathroom seats and low walk-in bathtubs can usually alleviate concerns about bath time.
