The round bathtub is becoming a more widely used option in many homes. As with all bathtubs, there are a number of factors to consider before making a final decision. Many people consider a round bathtub to offer the same benefits of a traditional tub, while adding several more conveniences. In most cases, the design of these types of tubs will offer a much deeper tub to compensate for the shape and smaller size. This makes soaking much more comfortable and in most cases the driving force behind the design.

One of the first reasons that the round bathtub has become more popular is that it generally looks more stylish than the traditional bathtub. The longer, shallower, oval tubs that are considered to be more traditional tend to not allow for effective bathroom design the same way that a round tub will. Just as importantly, the difference in height can also make a round tub look more visually appealing. Additionally, round bathtubs tend to offer a great variety in terms of materials as well, which allows them to look more stylish with little effort.

Another driving force behind the round bathtub is space efficiency. In almost every situation, a round tub will take up much less floor space than a traditional tub. This has become more important as space is at a premium. Most people want to have a relaxing bathroom setting, but don’t have the space. The round bathtub has proven to be a great way to safe space, while also minimizing the amount of floor space that is needed. Along with space efficiency, energy efficiency is also much improved with a round tub. The reason for this is that water in the bathtub loses heat based upon the amount of surface area of the water. A round tub creates a smaller surface area to lose heat, which means that hot water will stay hotter, longer.

Round bathtubs originally were used primarily for soaking. While they have become more functional, they have not lost any of their appeal as a soaking tub. Anyone who likes to relax in the bathtub will nearly always prefer a round tub. This is because the additional depth makes it much more comfortable. Plus, a traditional bathtub tends to cover less of the body. Even though they are longer, they are also much shallower. Additionally, the added length is often still not enough to cover the entire body.

There are as many different styles of round bathtubs as there are bathrooms. Along with often looking more stylish, they also provide improved space and energy efficiency. They will also tend to be a popular choice among people who enjoy soaking for longer periods of time.
