How freestanding, alcove and walk-in tubs differ in space, plumbing, weight, comfort, safety and care.
Tubs come in several types, and each fits a different room and a different person. A freestanding tub is a centerpiece. An alcove tub fits between three walls and often doubles as a shower. A walk-in tub has a door and a seat for easier entry. Homeowners in Nashville choose by space, plumbing, comfort and how much they will really use a bath.
Freestanding tubs need room, floor strength and a filler position. Alcove tubs save space and are easy to install and replace. Walk-in tubs need power for jets or heaters in many models, a drain plan and time to fill and empty. We compare them against your room, your plumbing and who uses the bath.
