A Bathtub Shower

A bathtub shower is a bathroom fixture which combines a shower and bathtub in one location,allowing bathers to select whichever they prefer at any given time.Many small bathrooms are installed with a bathtub shower,as there is not room for a bathtub and a shower,and combining the two fixtures into one also saves on plumbing costs.It is possible to purchase bathtub showers from home supply stores, and also to build this bathroom fixture from the zero point.

An ordinary bathtub has sides which are just high enough to contain the water, and taps which are located inside the tub or just above it for the purpose of filling it.Showers, on the other hand, need high walls to contain splash back,along with a door or a curtain to permit entry.Showers also require high taps so that water can fall from above onto the bather.

There are a number of ways to approach the construction of a bathtub shower.a popular solution is to have one set of cold and hot water taps with a valve which can be used to divert water to the bath tap or the shower head.It is also possible to see two totally separate taps, or to use a hose attachment which connects to the bath tap and loops around a hook on the wall to create a shower.

In some cases, a traditional bathtub is converted into a bathtub shower,either by being surrounded by a curtain held up on a level which also supports the shower plumbing,or by being built into an enclosure which can be closed with a door or curtain for showering.Modular bathtub shower Accessories are usually designed to be built into a wall,and they include a tub attached to high sides to make a shower stall.
In older bathrooms which only have a tub,making a bathtub shower conversion is a cheap solution to the desire to have access to a shower,when contrasted with ripping the tub out to make room for a shower stall or a shower to the bathroom .In a household where people have mixed preferences and only one bathroom, bathtub shower fixtures can eliminate arguments about whether to install a tub or a shower.
