Bathtubs vs. Bathtub-Shower Combinations: Which is Better for You?
Mar 21, 2023If you’re about to embark on a bathroom remodeling journey, deciding between a freestanding tub and a bathtub-shower combination may come into play when planning your project. Both options can be excellent for different reasons, but each one may work better for some homeowners than for others. To make your decision easier, we at Jacuzzi Bath Remodel have put together some essential information about both bathtubs and bath-shower combos.
All About Bathtubs
Bathtubs come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, and materials. For example, Jacuzzi® bathtubs come in both jetted and non-jetted models as well as the following installation types:
- Freestanding
- Skirted
- Drop-in
- Soaking
What separates these bathtubs from tub-shower combinations is that they do not have a showerhead feature attached, so they function differently within the home.
Bathtub-Shower Combos
A more versatile option in terms of functionality is a bathtub-shower combination, which does have a showerhead attachment—either static or moveable—at one end of the tub. These are traditionally attached to the walls of the bathroom (though options can vary), making them a good choice for homeowners working with limited space. Bathtub-shower combinations, including those crafted by the Jacuzzi® brand, can also come with or without jets that provide hydrotherapeutic benefits.
Determining the Best Option for You
Both bathtubs and bathtub-shower combinations have their benefits, so the decision of which one works best for you will mainly come down to your style preferences and spatial limitations.
