Decades ago, corner bathtubs were deemed to be an item of luxury which can only be enjoyed in hotels and in the homes of the well-to-do-families. It was a status symbol as most people think it is an expensive buy that only the financially blessed people can afford. Presently, though, bathtubs are becoming a vital part of most homes. Because life is becoming more and more demanding each day, there is a need to have a venue at home where one can relax and get rested.

While going for a day spa is still something you can look forward to, having a place at home where you can unwind in times when it is quite impossible to go elsewhere, is a great blessing indeed. Thus, the necessity for bathtubs comes in. If you are planning to add a bathtub to your bathroom for the beauty, comfort and relaxation that it can offer, then it is wise to know your bathtub options. There is a wide selection of bathtubs to choose from. Becoming familiar with these types can be a good start in ensuring that you will make the right choice.

One of the most common types of bathtub is the built-in bathtub which is what most homes have. There are different styles to pick from under this category. There is the alcove bathtub which refers to the tub that is enclosed in its three sides, therefore only one side is open.

Another variation is called drop-in bathtub where a user needs to go down rather than climb up. If this drop in bathtub is installed on a deck in the corner of the bathroom, then it is considered a corner tub. A second type of bathtub is the free-standing bathtub. This varies from the first type for obvious reason that it is free standing rather than built in. It usually comes with a faucet mounted on the tub itself or it could use one that is mounted on the floor or the wall.

If you are in need of additional selection, you might want to consider another type sold in the market which is the amazing Japanese soaking tubs. As its name indicates, it is a bathtub that is intended to be used for soaking. As such, it comes as a tub deeper than the standard ones since it is meant to soak people up to their chin. Unlike the other options already presented, this type is without shower attachments. With this type you are given two options: the Roman tubs and the Greek tubs. For those who want to buy a tub with more features other than the basic ones, you can check out the specialty tubs. Included in this type is the whirlpool tub that has jets which renders more relaxation and comfort to your bath experience. There is also the type designed specifically for the disabled and the elderly which is the walk-in tubs and the aqua massage tubs also called hot air tubs.
