What different types of tubs to use in your custom home…

If you are building a custom home, you are probably realizing that there are a ton of decisions involved in the process. First is finding the lot to build on, then deciding on the builder, then financing, then the house plans and then onto the individual items within the house. It truly requires a lot of decision making during the entire process.bathtub

Here we are discussing a major bathroom item; the tub. In deciding on the tub, first you must know for which bathroom you are choosing. for the master bath, the tub is considered a luxury item, not a chore. This is usually a pampering function, not for everyday getting ready for work. Who is going to be using the tub? A tall person, large person, more than one person? What is the layout and style of your bathroom? You need to know the measurements for where the tub will be located. If it is not a large area, but luxury is desired, then you can get a normal sized tub that is extra deep so that there is still a soaker quality to the bath experience.
