Although shower/tub has been popular for a long time, the latest trend of bathroom decoration is to cancel combination and use freestanding bathtub and a separate glass-panelled shower. If you have enough space and budget, I suggest you do it.But the reality is that many bathrooms cannot accommodate this layout, and many people cannot cope with their budgets. So the question for these people is: take a bath, shower or both?

Differences Between Bathtub and Showers

Bathtub and shower are different devices, which bring different advantages and disadvantages to your bathroom. Traditionally, bathtubs are more regarded as a luxury, while showers are more suitable for daily use. Let's look at their core differences:

Style

The bathtub and shower add different beauty to your bathroom. Although both can provide classic or modern feeling, shower is more suitable for fast and convenient bath, while bathtub means more relaxed bath experience. The bathtub has walk-in, soaking, freestanding types which can greatly change the appearance and feeling of the bathroom. On the other hand, shower is more limited in design, providing less aesthetic choices for owners.

Bathroom Space

Bathtubs and showers need different spaces to accommodate them. Showers are usually small and can accommodate bathrooms of any size. On the other hand, the bathtub needs to conform to the entrance of 2-3 connecting walls or enough space to accommodate the independent bathtub. The length of the bathtub is generally 50-72 inches, which requires considerable space to accommodate.

Installation

The shower is easier to install because there is no need to transport heavy parts. Many aspects of the shower can be broken down into smaller parts and installed when seen. Bathtubs need extra help because they can be heavy.

The User

Who uses the bathroom is an important factor in determining which is more appropriate for your family. A shower is great for teenagers, young adults and adults as they can easily access the shower and it is wholly more convenient to use. A bathtub is best for families, the elderly and young children as they often require assistance and bathtubs are a much safer option for those who may have difficulties walking on their own.
