What size bathtub is right for you?

If we're considering installing a bathtub in the bathroom, its size can be a tricky issue, especially for small families. If you want to enjoy a comfortable bathing experience, you need to solve the problem of limited bathroom space. If space isn't an issue, there are alternative solutions. In fact, by changing the bathroom design, even small homes can accommodate a bathtub without compromising your bathing experience. Furthermore, when buying a bathtub, besides considering bathroom space, you should also take into account the average height of family members and their preferences. Let's discuss bathtub sizes in detail with Langdi Sanitary Ware.

1. What factors should be considered when deciding on the size of a bathtub?

Generally, a bathtub's full water capacity is about 230-320L. If the water in the bathtub doesn't reach your shoulders when you get in, it means the bathtub is too small, making you feel uncomfortable while bathing. A bathtub that's too large can make you feel unstable and float, which is also not good. The height of the drain outlet determines the water capacity. If your bathroom isn't long enough, you should choose a wider or deeper bathtub to ensure there's enough water in the tub.

1. Minimum size of a bathtub

Because bathtubs are relatively expensive nowadays, and people are buying smaller homes, many people prefer smaller houses due to societal trends. When decorating a small home, the size of the bathtub needs to be considered. Since many bathrooms are small in space but large in size, a bathtub that is too small is impractical. In fact, rectangular bathtubs are a good option for small bathrooms. They should be placed against the vertical wall of the bathroom. The length should also take into account the height of the person and the perceived space of the room. The smallest size can be designed as 1.3 meters. Their width is 70 centimeters. They take up very little space and serve a primary function.

2. Round bathtub

Typically, the most popular type of bathtub on the market is the round one, which usually has a diameter of 1.5-1.8 meters. It requires relatively large space and is completely unsuitable for typical small homes. They are mainly used in apartments or villas. If your bathroom is large enough, you can have a round bathtub with a diameter of 2 meters made.

 Have you ever seen a fan-shaped bathtub? They look a bit like a fan. They're typically installed in a corner between two walls. They're suitable for smaller homes. Their design is similar to a round bathtub, with a size that fits the diameter. Fan-shaped bathtubs can have a diameter as small as 1.2 meters. The interior features a small stool design, allowing you to sit inside and enjoy the warmth of the hot water.
