A new soaking tub or updated toilet that saves water can really improve the functionality of your bathroom.

When selecting a tub for your bathroom, consider:

• Size: 60” long is the standard size for most bathrooms but if you have more space you may want to upgrade to a 66” or longer model.
• Features: Tubs can be equipped with everything from air jets for hydrotherapy to lights that provide chromatherapy.

When selecting a toilet for your bathroom, consider:

• Appearance: The look of your toilet should match that of your bathroom.
• Style: Toilets are available in either a traditional two-piece bowl and tank model or a more contemporary one-piece style.
• Height: Many people find toilets with a taller 17” high bowl more comfortable to use than traditional 15” models.
• Flushing Power: Toilets are required by law to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Choose a model that is designed to maximize the flushing power.
• Water Usage: Dual flush and water saving toilets are available that use as little as one gallon per flush, which can reduce your water bill and save water.
