American Standard Walk-in Bathtubs
Bentley Baths Standard Size Walk-in Bathtubs
Is an inward swinging "walk-in bathtub" the right option?
Most of our customers are fairly mobile and can benefit from a true "walk-in" appliance. The general criteria for using a walk-in bathtub is that the bather be capable of taking one or two steps (with or without assistance), and can stand on one leg and raise one foot the height of a standard stair step (usually about 5?-7?), and then stand on that leg while moving the other foot into the walk-in bathtub.
This product solution category represents the broadest range of options and sizes. There are many, many variations on the product theme, and that is why Bentley Baths, Amazing Walk-in Therapy Tubs represents many manufacturers and can provide you access to any product solution you may desire. Most manufacturers will have at least one "walk-in" tub, and they are sold through many forms of "re-sellers." The confusion this creates around walk-in bathtubs (especially over the internet) makes it hard to understand the differences between one walk-in bath product and another. We will help you compare.
Bentley Baths "Swan" Line
The walk-in bathtub models in the Bentley Baths Swan line offer the highest quality fiberglass shell and a strong industry leading 1Ύ" stainless steel frame construction. These appliances are constructed to meet all IAPMO, UL, and ANSI standards, and are the best product solution in the market today for approximately 80% of our customers. Every appliance is inspected and tested in our factory, and additional engineering and structural modifications are made if necessary to meet our exacting standards.
The inward swinging door permits ease of access for independent bathers, even those requiring walkers and other stabilization equipment. The low threshold and ADA compliant seat height of a full 17? makes it the most widely appropriate design. We offer a full range of options from fully ADA compliant solutions to partially ADA compliant, to less expensive standard accessories (Beware of false claims - full ADA compliance is offered by no internet re-seller to our knowledge). Also, we can design them with either our exclusive air-based Medical Hydrotherapy, water jetted hydrotherapy systems, or dual systems (we offer these options on all our appliances, but STRONGLY encourage customers to think about using only our exclusive Medical Hydrotherapy). The Swan line offers appliances with generous sidewall heights of 36?-48?, and a range of widths from 26? to 36?, and lengths from 45? to 60?. Our aging-in-place consultants will help you determine the best size for you, based on your unique needs.
Bentley Baths "Swan 3052" Line
In the Swan Line models, the 3052 "straight door" and it sibling, the 2952 "curved door", are our super stars. Like all Swan line models, the Bentley Baths Swan 3052 line of appliances offer bathers a choice of door swings, but has the added benefit of a full 40" depth. The most critical dimension on any walk-in appliance is the height from the top of the seat, to the overflow. This height determines the depth of your soak. These Swans boast a more generous sidewall depth of 40?, giving our customers who like deep soaking an extra two inches of soaking depth to enjoy.
NOTE: Be warned there are other cheaper tubs on the market may have a 40" sidewall, but Bentley Baths is the only company to actually custom install our own ADA overflows to the maximum height. Other 40" tubs are drilled with the overflow at the same height as shorter tubs!
The fully ADA compliant seat height of 17? and Bentley Baths exclusive easy to use our "J" and "long throw" door closing mechanisms are popular with people who suffer from arthritis and other joint issues. The doors are designed to offer a wider top opening for easier access for larger bathers. The Swan 3052 line is a solid choice to consider.
Bentley Baths Large Bathing Well Walk-in Bathtubs
Bentley Baths "Trumpeter Swan 3055" Line
Some people need to "go deep" in their walk-in bath. The Bentley Baths Trumpeter Swan walk-in tub offers full emersion while sitting, and maintains easy transfer. For people of larger body sizes, taller frames, or those who enjoy a deeper soaking environment, the Trumpeter Swan is the answer. Our Trumpeter Swan is the only inward swinging door walk-in tub designed with a industry leading 48? deep sidewall! This model is constructed on the same 1Ύ" stainless steel framing and high quality fiber glass shell specifications as all our Swan Line models, but is much, much deeper. In fact, the Bentley Baths Trumpeter Swan model is the deepest walk-in tub on the market bar none! We offer both left and right hinged doors for ease of installation and a footprint of 30?W x 55?L x 48"D. Remember, the Bentley Bath Trumpeter Swan walk-in bathtub adds a full 10? to your soak, the deepest and most comfortable bathing well in the industry.
Bentley Baths "Emperor Swan 3660"
As the name implies, our Bentley Baths Emperor Swan walk-in tub is one of a kind and represents the widest, deepest, longest walk-in bathtub in the market. This walk-in bathtub is recommended specifically for those with a larger body size or those who just want a walk-in tub with extra room to bathe. With a huge 36?W x 60?L footprint and a generous 40? depth, the large and luxurious Emperor Swan walk-in bathtub can hold a person weighing up to 500 pounds. And, the inward swinging door that is the hallmark of our Swan Walk-in Bathtubs, has a width that is an amazing 25? to guarantee a safe and accessible entry into the tub. The Emperor Swan walk-in tub can be specified with the same ADA safety and luxurious features as our standard models, just with additional width for comfort.
Remember, Bentley Walk-in Baths can offer you appliances that are wider, longer, or higher, depending on your unique needs. Remember, Bentley Walk-in Baths can offer you appliances that are wider, longer, or higher, depending on your unique needs.
Transition and Slide-in Bathtubs
Bentley Baths Unique Size Walk-in Bathtubs
Is a Transition, or outward Swinging Door Right for you?
In certain situations, our customers require some special solutions. This can be due to a small space to install the walk-in bathtub, or most often due their limitations in mobility. The Bentley Baths Heron Line was specifically created to provide the range of unique designs for these special people and situations. Whether in a wheelchair or restricted by arthritis, injury or weight, many of our customers thrive, and bathe independently in a Bentley Baths Heron Line Walk-in Bathtub.
Bentley Baths "Small Heron" Line
We will always encourage our customers to consider the bathing well that is best for their body size. The Heron Line is a unique line of appliances that are specifically offered for those situations where the customer is of small stature, or has limited space within which to install their walk-in tub. It is better to have a small walk-in bathtub, rather than none at all always. Creatively engineered so that the length is the shorter dimension, these narrow products fit in the space of a small shower, a washing machine, or even in a closet. Again, Bentley Baths has assembled the very best range of products in the small bathing well category, with a creative footprint of only 38"W x 32?L, while retaining a full 38? depth. Bentley Baths Small Heron Line models feature our "over engineered" outward swinging door to help insure against leaks. Both models come in left-hinged and right-hinged designs for maximum utility. The Bentley Baths Small Herons are small in size, but remain large in their features, all offering our exclusive Medical Hydrotherapy and ADA compliant accessories.
Bentley Baths "Heron 2738" Line
The Bentley Baths Heron walk-in bathtub line is an amazingly effective blend of our two industry-leading designs. We take the Small Heron Lines modest footprint for those space stingy situations, add the transition flexibility of a direct transition to the seat, while retaining the convenience of our walk-in bathtub industry standard "side entry" engineering of the Swan Line. The Heron Walk-in Bathtubs represent a very good small space, hybrid, walk-in bathtub option to consider.
Slightly larger than Small Herons and slightly smaller than Swans and Great Herons, the Heron Line walk-in bathtubs offer modest footprint sizes from only 27?W x 38?L, and 38" depth. And, at Bentley Walk-in Baths, we offer you the choice of both left- or right-hinged models. Again, at Bentley Baths, we can offer every one of our product lines with ADA compliant features and our exclusive Medical Hydrotherapy.
Bentley Baths Exclusive "Great Heron" Transition Bathtubs
Bentley Baths "Great Heron 3060"
Bentley Baths is excited to be the first to offer our customers a true hybrid walk-in bathtub designed specifically for the home market. The Great Heron model creatively combines the ease of use of a walk-in tub with the accessibility of a transition appliance (see Slide-in / Transition Tub section). With a footprint of 30?W x 60?L and 40?D, the Great Heron is engineered to fit easily in the space of a standard bathtub. For those in a wheelchair or with more restricted mobility that prevents them from lifting a foot to enter a traditional walk-in tub, this truly is a superior option. Just "walk-in" to the tub, transfer from a wheelchair, or sit directly on the seat and swing your legs into the bathing well. You are ready for a truly relaxing and healthful experience, especially when you equip your Great Heron with our exclusive Medical Hydrotherapy.
Bentley Baths Reclining Walk-in Bathtubs
Bentley Baths "Crane" Line
Our Crane Line is rapidly becoming the standard walk-in bathtub for those who enjoy or require a traditional reclining approach to bathing. These appliances allow for full standing showering or taking a tub bath like a standard bathtub. However, the side door allows for "walk-in" low entry into a full size tub. A full power lift seat is optional and can be utilized to lift and lower the bather. Like other Bentley Baths Walk-in Bathtubs, these appliances remove the threshold entry risks of standard bathtubs because of the easy open door system, but do not remove the option of soaking - like showers and "tub cuts" do. The Crane can easily be combined with numerous lift options for those who require help raising and lowering themselves.
