A bathtub with door is particularly impressive in terms of convenience and comfort since you don't have to climb over the edge of the tub. With almost floor-level access, this design not only makes it easier to get in and out of the bathtub but it also prevents slipping on wet floors.
Bathroom fixtures usually last a very long time and they are usually only replaced or changed after many years of use. If your bathroom is due for a remodel, it makes sense to pay close attention to comfort and safety issues when planning the remodel - and this involves considering a bathtub with a door. Not only are they safe, but when combined with a suitable shower faucet, walk-in bathtubs can also be used as a full-fledged shower.
Who Should Consider a Bathtub With Door?
A bathtub with door will provide people of all ages with increased comfort and extra safety when bathing. They are also a great option for people with mobility issues. Whether it's because of a sports injury or advanced age, having a walk-in bathtub makes getting in and out of the tub a breeze and lets you enjoy a carefree bath in your own home, any time you like. A bathtub with shower and door can also be the ideal solution for you if you don't want to deny yourself the comfort and convenience of a bathtub but you don't have enough space for a standard-sized tub.
Tip: A floor-level shower is the perfect option for those who don't mind forgoing a bathtub but who enjoy having plenty of room in the shower.
Bathtubs With a Door as the Best Solution for Every Generation
Installing a bathtub with door is an easy way to eliminate many of the problems encountered with conventional tubs. Not only is the entry and exit through the door instead of over the edge of the tub easier and more convenient, it's also safer. The reason for this is that the easier transition into and out of the tub greatly reduces the risk of slipping on a wet floor. This is also especially helpful for people who - whether due to a physical injury or age - don't have the physical strength to make this transition safely as well as for those with an impaired sense of balance or other mobility issues. Installing a bathtub with door can greatly help to improve a person's quality of life in such cases.
In addition, bathtubs with a door not only provide stability when standing up, but they even make sitting safer thanks to their ergonomic design, which prevents you from sliding down in the tub. Their practical functionality is also ideal for families with small children. No matter your age, a shower-tub with door will not only keep you feeling pleasantly comfortable while using the tub, it'll also keep you safe and sound.
Advantages of a Bathtub With Door
• The convenient entry and exit from a bathtub with door makes them safe, preventing accidents and reducing the risk of injury
• Bathtubs with a door: space-saving, comfortable and for users of all ages
• Bathing while sitting is more comfortable and provides better support than when lying down

• Practical 2-in-1 solution: Can be used both for bathing and for showering
How Does a Bathtub With Door Stay Sealed?
As soon as the bathtub door is closed, the tub is sealed - no water can escape and it's not possible to open the door until the water has drained. This is because a bathtub with door comes with a special device that only allows it to be filled when the door is locked. This device prevents it from flooding. The bathtub door on all Duravit models opens with a simple touch, but it can't be opened until all of the water has been completely drained from the tub. The door is extremely easy to operate with our manual locking system and it guarantees safety both while bathing and while showering.
