Walk In Tub

The walk in tub has been designed in such a way so that the elderly and those suffering from handicaps can walk-into the tub, rather than battling to climb over, and into a traditional bathtub. The walk in tub has given thousands of elderly or handicapped individuals the chance to safely take a bath, without needing to rely on the assistance of others. Independent Homes has been manufacturing walk in tubs for over a decade, and during this decade, they have designed and developed each walk in tub to allow it to meet the needs of the handicapped or elderly. The features of the walk in tub include a permanent seat, and as such, the individual using the walk in tub will not need to go into an immediate reclining position, but since our tubs are virtually twice as deep as a traditional bathtub, a deep and relaxing soak can still be enjoyed. More than simply offering a trouble-free bathing experience, the walk in tub offers therapeutic benefits which improve overall health and wellbeing.

The walk in tub has been created to provide luxury as well as quality, and the tubs are manufactured with the finest quality raw materials, which adds to the safety of the tub. The fiberglass shell of the walk in tub has been molded around a strong and durable stainless steel frame and the one-piece construction of the walk in tub is able to fit any existing bathroom layout. Standard features of the walk in tub include a 17-inch high permanent seat, a built-in grab bar, extension filler piece and a low 6-inch entry door, and the buyer is offered the option of whirlpool jets and an inline heater, which have shown to offer vast benefits to arthritis sufferers and even diabetics. It is, however, the strength of the walk in tub which has allowed Independent Home to become a highly rated supplier of the best quality walk in tubs on the market. In a bid to show our confidence in our products, the walk in tub is sold with a lifetime warranty and this warranty covers the door seals of the walk in tub, the stainless steel frame, the tub shell and the finish.
