American Tubs
Low-threshold entry and ergonomic seated soaking
Typical features of a walk-in tub
Walk-in tubs are purpose-built to eliminate common bathing obstacles. While options vary by model, these core safety and comfort elements come standard to support safe, unhurried bathing.
Low step-in threshold
Step easily into the bath without having to lift your leg over a high standard bathtub ledge.
Watertight door seal
A precision-engineered door keeps water securely enclosed while you bathe, closing with an easy-to-use latch.
Built-in contoured seat
Sit comfortably upright at an ergonomic height while bathing, eliminating the need to lower yourself to floor level.
Built-in grab bar
Integrated grab bar provides steady, solid hand placement right where you need it when standing up or sitting down.
Who a walk-in tub suits
A walk-in bathtub offers a gentle, full-body soaking experience without requiring you to climb in and out over a deep standard tub apron.
People who love to soak
If taking a warm bath is an essential part of your routine and relaxation, a walk-in tub preserves that experience safely.
Individuals with joint pain or stiffness
Warm immersion can help soothe achy joints, arthritis, and sore muscles while keeping you in a stable, upright posture.
Bathers with limited balance who transfer with a seat
Designed for bathers who can enter through the door and sit down comfortably on an elevated chair-height bench.
Things to consider before choosing
Walk-in tubs are not the right match for every home or bather. We believe in being transparent so you make the best decision for your needs.
Sitting while filling and draining
Because the door is in the tub wall, you must enter, close the door, and wait for the tub to fill with water before soaking—and then wait for water to drain completely before opening the door to exit.
Bathroom space & doorway clearance
Walk-in tubs require adequate room for the tub footprint and clearance to swing the door open, plus clear pathways to bring the unit into the bathroom.
Plumbing and electrical suitability
Your water heater capacity, water supply lines, and electrical panel must be evaluated to ensure they support rapid filling and drain performance. All plumbing and electrical work is completed by licensed Red Seal tradespeople.
