Our Buffalo team of installers is ready to make the daily job of cleaning yourself simple and interesting with new gear that virtually eliminates slides and falls in bathroom.

Question 1

1) Why are these tubs so much more expensive than normal tubs?

Mostly you are paying for a list of safety features that are unavailable on a regular tub. These safety features are built into walk-in baths for persons with limited mobility to lower the possibility of falling down. An essential part of walk in tubs is that there's a low step threshold to permit a user to easily enter into the tub unconcerned concerning the conventional high wall of a regular bathtub. The walk-in baths also typically include jet therapy a cleaning function, and improved drain choices. Moreover, among the reasons why the cost changes among the walk-in baths is that the tubs are custom made depending on an individual 's demands rather than factory replicated, in order to discover a bath that's specially made for somebody who needs wheelchair access, a bath that fits a larger individual, or a soaker tub with jets.

Question 2

2) Is there any additional structural support needed before installation?

Many walk in baths are mounted to a stainless steel welded support framework with leveling feet that is included with your bathtub that was bought. The floor in the bathroom must have a structural support strength that transcends the weight of the bathtub in addition to the weight of the water. Our Buffalo installer will check to determine whether the floor is level and otherwise when it is not, then they will make use of the leveling legs to adjust the degree of the tub. Obviously, the prior bath will have to be removed. Also, the if replacing tile or the wall in the region will have to be removed.

Question 3

3) Are these tubs as easy to clean as normal tubs?

They are simple to clean, but unlike routine tubs, it's wise to keep a daily cleaning custom with a walk in bathtub using the correct products and following manufacturer's recommendations. You want to really make sure with a walk in bath that you remove spots and scum to protect the surface. Depending on whether you have hard water, soft water, or water, you will see several types of spots and deposits on your own bathtub. Get into the habit of wiping down the surfaces that are wet after each use to help avoid the build up scum, that will require more scrubbing afterwards. Weekly, use cleaners to wash your walk in bathtub. Products that address your unique water stain and deposits should be considered as well as any indicators that these products may ruin the finish in your bathtub. Since tubs are generally either acrylic or fiberglass, you want to get familiar with the very best cleaning methods for your type of bath. Fiberglass can readily dull and is porous and fragile and spot. Acrylic is non-porous and easy to wash. Also, if the weather allows, air out the room so that it does not remain humid all day. Some manufacturers advise that you just open your bathroom window for an hour every day to let moisture escape.

Question 4

4) How much is it for a cheaper walk-in bathtub?

A cheaper fundamental version of the walk in tub can really cost between $1,7000 and $3,000 in [

Question 5

5) About how long does the installation process take with your Buffalo installers?

Once the tub arrives, an installation requires between one and three days of labor in Buffalo. It really depends upon the extent of the job. You should let us know whether there's a critical deadline involving a household member coming for a visit or a loved one's release from New York rehabilitation so that we can do the best we can to accommodate you.

Question 6

6) Will AARP cover the cost of equipment and installation?

AARP isn't a supplier of insurance, but contracts with insurance companies to make coverage available to AARP members. AARP will not make health plan recommendations for individuals and doesn't cover the price of walk in tubs or any wellness needs. AARP does provide access to health care tools and coverage like Medicare Supplement Insurance and other health plans to members as a resource, but member benefits are provided by third parties. Check with the plans that are recorded in New York under AARP's membership services.

Question 7

7) Can the shower be used still with a walk-in bathtub?

Yes. There are walkin bath installments that give you a big standing place for stand up showers. You can either shower sitting down or standing up. Make sure you get the appropriate measurements for the walk in bathtub in order you don't feel cramped during a standup shower. Additionally, in case you wish to keep your standing shower, since if your faucet is not right against a wall, it is much more difficult to tap into your existing shower, another thing to keep in mind would be to ask about the faucet location.

Question 8

8) How do walk in bathtubs work?

When you go into the walk in tub, by pulling on the handle toward you, you close the door and seal it. Make sure that the handle is locked so as to prevent any water decline. There are different kinds of handles depending on the version you decide to purchase. Be sure it is a handle that you can certainly function. Then, the floor drain close and make sure that the anti-scald device has been preset before using the bath. If you're planning on using jets, ensure that you familiarize yourself with the operating instructions to estimate which speed works best for your requirements. Manufacturers might also advocate a maximum time of use. When you have completed your bath, remove the drain determined by the type of drain or turn the overflow knob you need to drain the water. Pull on the tub handle and leave the bath.

Question 9

9) How do I know these tubs will fully seal and not leak out all over the floor?

Initial testing and proper installation should provide you with a leak proof experience, however there are episodes where they experienced escapes, that customers report. Under appropriate conditions, the door seal should compress making it completely leak proof. Some units comprise another drain under the entrance door to help prevent leaks in the event the door does leak. If this attribute is included, inquire. We highly recommend that you simply get a lifetime warranty, because it covers the seal along with the door in the instance of a flow. In addition, it's important to take great care of the walk-in bathtub door when the tub isn't in use to prevent early failure of the seal. Wiping down door jamb and the door seal after every use can keep the integrity of the water seal. Follow the maintenance and care directions.

Question 10

10) Is there a way to get Jacuzzi jets in my tub?

Yes. Be careful of the quantity of water and also air that comes out of the jets to be sure it's the proper number which will soothe your sore muscles and pains using a massage sensation. Jets can be placed to target special regions to provide for the greatest effects. Many Buffalo customers take pleasure in the therapeutic effect of having jets installed inside their walk-in bathtub for an extensive array of medical conditions that gain from the relaxation that is additional.

Question 11

11) About how much will one of these tubs cost to get installed?

The installation can really cost you about $1,500-$3,000 to be installed in Buffalo. Occasionally the cost of the setup as well as the unit is a better investment than paying for a caretaker.

Question 12

12) How do walk-in tubs drain?

Some systems employ a gravity just drainage system, while other makers offer power-assisted drainage systems. Typically, the drainage system in a walk in tub is attached to the standard bathtub drain, which is threaded into a flat conduit called a waste shoe. The shoe is sealed under its flange with a foam washer or putty. Since a bather cannot leave the tub until all the water is emptied, the big difference is the fact that manufacturers have attempted to reduce the waiting time since sitting there waiting for the water to drain can leave a bather feeling chilled. Some attributes may cost you more, so it's always a good idea to inquire. Eventually, get to know the difference between frameless baths since because they do not alter the drain height of your existing bath frameless baths tend to empty quicker than framed tubs and framed baths. Framed tubs are built on a steel framework and the bottom of the bath is dangled off the floor. Frameless baths are designed with an extra-strength form that really doesn't demand a steel framework and the underside of the bathtub is not hung in the air.
