Products

Safe Bathing Canada offers several walk-in tub options. These options are discussed below highlighting their advantages and disadvantages (if any exist) as well as some reviews from current users of the walk-in tubs.

The Guardian

Key Features

32-inch wide Outward swinging door
High-flow tap
Safety lock
A Grab bar
Quick drain
Aluminum door system
Optional spa-quality features for chromotherapy, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy are also available

Pros

Entry into and exit from the bathtub is easy with the outward swinging door
The Guardian walk-in tub is similar in size to a regular bathtub and will fit in the same space as a regular bathtub. This means that there is no need for extensive repair, adjustments or renovations to your home.

The quick drain feature makes sure you do not spend too much time waiting for the water in the tub to drain.

The broad door has been designed to avoid colliding with an adjacent toilet or other major bathroom obstructions.
The possibility and availability of additional spa-quality features means the “standard” Guardian walk-in bathtub can be upgraded to a luxury-style walk-in bathtub.

Cons

There is the danger of spillage of water from the bathtub to the floor as a result of users opening the door of the walk-in bathtub before all the water inside has completely drained away.
