5 Skinny Bathtubs Important for Tight Bathroom Spaces

Irwin Weiner  - I'm grateful to manufacturers for producing skinny bathtubs. Instead of the standard 32- to 35-inch-wide tub here in the States, it's great that companies like Duravit are offering a 27 inch or 700 mm alternative. There are 5 skinny tubs pictures in this post - please click on each photo for more product information. And click on the link at the end of this article for additional skinny tub options.

Many apartments and smaller homes have to meet code-required door swings to allow access in and out of bathrooms, or tubs have to fit into a too-narrow alcove. For many homeowners, they've had to eliminate the bathtub due to limited space. I'm glad manufacturers are more and more offering so-called "skinny" tubs as well as slim-profile toilets to economize on valuable bathroom space.

The fact is, tubs are good for home resale. They're great for bathing babies and children. Some cultures require a bathtub. And I've never seen a home's resale hindered by the presence of at least one tub. So if your space is tight, look for a skinny tub to help remedy your space dilemma.

When space is at a premium, these skinny tubs often come to the rescue.
