Walk-In Bathtubs come in many sizes and shapes. The common feature is that they all have either an inward-opening or outward opening door which is self-sealing. Most Walk-In Bathtubs also have a chair height seat but some that are the same basic configuration as a standard bathtub do not have any seat. In some instances an inward opening door may be considered a disadvantage due to the fact that emergency access is impossible since the pressure of the water on the door is holding it closed.

Walk-In Bathtubs enable the elderly and those with mobility handicaps to safely enter and exit the bathtub without having to step over a 14"-17" rim as is the case in a standard bathtub. Walk-In Bathtubs also allow the elderly and disabled to safely take a bath without the assistance of another person.
We make Walk-In Bathtubs available with Hydrotherapy and/or Whirpool, internal grab bars, anti-slip floors and seats, and hand held showerheads that can also be wall-mounted to enable one to take a standing shower.
Some bathtubs categorized as "Walk-In" actually require no step in as they have higher seats and outward opening doors that enable one to simply sit on the seat and pivot and swing their legs into the tub. This type of "Walk-In Bathtub" can be extremely helpful to those confined to wheelchairs and others with severe mobility challenges.
