At times it will be as simple as going to the store or show room and installing it in the house and at times it will be difficult too. More often, you might come across many convenient items as well. It is vital that you are careful before you choose for your house.

Mentioned below are a few simple and basic as well as some non-basic optional items which you can look for in the step in tub.

The basic feature in this type of bathtub is the ability to walk in the bathtub. This means that there is no need for you to step over it when compared to that of standard bath tubs. The door is configured is a way where it automatically gets locked and sealed as soon as the water starts flowing. Hence you can easily fill the tub to have a relaxing bath without being worried about the water leaking on the floor. As these doors of the walk in tubs for the elderly can be configured in many different ways you just have to be sure that they are easy to handle and open. This is especially important if you are specifically installing them for elders in the house.

Options seating is the next additional feature which you will have to look at when buying the step in tub. This will be a type of bench that is built directly in the bathtub providing seamless design to this. This will not just give you a convenient place to sit once you step in but will also keep you from sitting entirely down on the floor. This seat installed helps ensure that you enjoy your bath properly and also be relaxed. If this feature of seat isn't included in the walk in bath tub then ensure that you have sufficient space so that you can place a chair inside.

Lastly you should also check another optional feature of shower in the walk in bath tub that you want to buy. It can either be a free standing shower or then the one that is fitted to the side of the bath tub. It can be a hand held shower that is attached to faucet. If you are not fond of the shower then you can also check for some Jacuzzi jets in the tub.

You may come across too many local stores who may provide you the same but not all would help you with the best options. For this you can either take some referrals from those who have bought such tubs or then can look out for some walk in tub reviews on the Internet.
