ELITE Classic Vintage Copper Home Bathtub EL-BT05

When measuring for a bathtub, it is essential to thoroughly assess both the available space in your bathroom and the bathtub's dimensions to ensure a proper, comfortable, and functional fit. Below is a detailed, step-by-step guide for measuring and selecting the ideal bathtub:

1. Assess Your Bathroom Space

• Measure the Available Space: begin by measuring the dimensions of your bathroom to confirm that the bathtub will fit comfortably.
• Consider Doorway Widths: measure the width of the doorways to guarantee that the bathtub can be delivered and installed without obstruction.
• Evaluate Floor Slope and Drainage: ensure that the bathroom floor has the proper slope for effective drainage, and confirm the position of the drain in relation to the bathtub’s drain connection.

2. Select Suitable Bathtub Dimensions

• Overall Length: Measure the length of the bathtub from the outer edge at one end to the outer edge at the other end.
• Overall Width: Measure the width of the bathtub from one outer edge to the opposite outer edge. 
  
• Overall Height (Depth): Measure from the bottom of the bathtub to the top edge. 
  
• Interior Dimensions (Optional): For added precision, measure the interior length, width, and depth of the tub where one would typically sit or recline. This ensures the bathtub will accommodate your height and provide sufficient comfort.

3. Additional Considerations

• Consider the inclusion of accessories such as steps or grab bars to enhance safety and usability.
  
• Personalize your bathtub by selecting the color finish, apron, and additional features that align with your aesthetic preferences.

By meticulously measuring your available space and carefully selecting the right bathtub dimensions, you can ensure that the final choice will meet both your practical needs and comfort expectations.
