The bathtub is commented by netizens as the idle NO·1 in the home improvement industry. Many people say that they have a beautiful fantasy when they are not installed, and they can drink red wine while taking a bath in the future, which is too comfortable. However, after the actual installation, more than 90% of them are found to be idle.
01 Reasons for not installing a bathtub
take up space
Most of the family bathrooms in the just-needed houses are about 3 square meters, and it is really difficult to put a bathtub in it.
Positive solution: With the expansion of ideas, the bathtub can also be placed in the bedroom, balcony, cloakroom and other places.
▲In the bedroom
▲On the balcony
water cost
Anyone who believes this statement may not have calculated the cost themselves.
Correct solution: According to the water price stipulated by the state, domestic water consumption for residents is 2.80 yuan/cubic meter. Generally, the water volume of a domestic bathtub is 170~200L, that is to say, every time a bathtub is used, it will cost less than 1 yuan.
time consuming
Some netizens summed up the ritual of taking a bath: cleaning the bathtub (5 minutes) – running water (20 minutes) – taking a bath (30 minutes) – cleaning the bathtub again (5 minutes)
The whole process takes 1 hour, which is really time-consuming, which is also the biggest reason why the bathtub is idle.
Correct solution: The correct way to take a bath is to take a shower to clean your body first, and then go into the bathtub to take a bath, which can save time.
Whether the bathtub is worth installing, I think, if you really like to take a bath, it’s okay to install one.
