Shower-Tub Combo vs. Traditional Shower: What’s the Difference?
A traditional shower, also called a walk-in shower, is a common feature in many homes, particularly in guest bathrooms. It consists of a standing shower without a bathtub. A shower-tub combo, as the name suggests, combines both—a bathtub at the base with a shower overhead—offering the flexibility of either option.
Benefits of a Traditional Shower
Traditional showers come with several advantages:
- Space-Saving: They take up less room than a shower-tub combination.
- Modern Aesthetic: Without a tub, these showers often look sleeker and more contemporary.
- Enhanced Safety: No need to step over a tub edge, making entry and exit easier.
- Efficient Functionality: Ideal for those who rarely take baths.
- Cost-Effective: Typically more affordable to install and use less water compared to baths.
However, traditional showers may not add as much resale value to your home compared to a shower-tub combination.
Benefits of a Shower-Tub Combo
While a shower-tub combo may cost a bit more to install, it offers several advantages:
- Versatility: You can choose between a quick shower or a relaxing bath.
- Increased Home Value: Buyers often prefer homes with at least one bathtub, making this a smart investment.
- Personalization: With various materials, finishes, and decor choices, you can customize your space to match your style.
