How to Choose a Bath

Your bath is your space to soak, relax, and unwind after a long day. It's your private getaway at home. Bring the luxuries of the spa into your home with features that heat and move water, air, and sound over your body. Let us help you find the right bath for you and your space.

Getting Started

In order to identify the bath best suited to your requirements and the dimensions of your bathroom, consider the following:
 

1. What is your project scope — a simple refresh or full remodel? Are there space or plumbing constraints?
 

2. Who will use the bath? How will the bath be used? Consider mobility needs and children or pets when selecting key features.
 

3. Check in with your project team to ensure you understand any requirements and constraints in terms of bath weight (both empty and full) as well as water heater capacity.

Bath Installations

Before considering your ideal bath style and experience, you need to understand the dimensions of your space and which bath style and size will fit. This is especially important if you are replacing an existing bath where the walls and the drain location are already established.

Bath Sizes

Bathtubs are available in a variety of sizes. Measure the length, width, and height to ensure the bath you choose will fit your space. You also need to consider the key users of the bath for comfort, immersion, and safety.

Water Depth

Bath height is measured from the floor to the top edge of the bath. Depth is measured on the inside of the bath from the base to the overflow drain. Depth, length, and width determine the bath's water volume. Be sure your floor can support the weight of the full bath and that your water heater will provide enough hot water to fill it.

Bath Design

A variety of elements make up the design of your bath, from shape and style to material and color. You might prefer a traditional design with fine detailing, or a modern style with purposeful simplicity and clean lines. You can use the design of your bath to coordinate with the rest of your bathroom, or to create a sense of balance through contrast with the rest of your space.

Color

The color you choose for your bath helps create the look and feel of your bathroom and helps inform the tone of the room. There’s no wrong answer. Choose the color that helps create the mood you’re after. Baths come in an array of rich colors that align with your style and can be matched to other fixtures.
