Decorating Bathroom-The Tub Liners

People spend most of their life time inside their house and to make it more beautiful and classier than ever is every house owners dream.

One of the most neglected parts of a house is the bathroom and with times the material that is being used in the bathroom, especially for your bath tub gets weakened day by day and eventually it might lead to a point of no return and you’ll have just one option of remodeling the whole design.

The bathtub liners are a revolution in the interior designing technology and it plays a major role if you are planning on saving money on your bathroom remodeling renovation.

A bathtub liner is basically a type of acrylic skin for your bath tub. It is coated over your existing tub and nothing is removed. They just provide an extra coating of heavy gauge material. These are made of the same material that is used for making the pre fabricated bath and shower stalls.

Like a coin every thing has both a good and a bad side to it. The bathtub liner is also has its drawbacks. The relining is not a fool proof solution to a problem it is just a temporary cover for a solution. The lining can lead to water being trapped under it and can result in production of mold and this can eat away the material and cause damage beyond repair and then the only option left will be to replace the tub.

The tub liners are also not a great material as such so the feel of the material under ones foot is very spongy and slippery, thus making it more unstable under the foot. Other disadvantage of the liner is the price. The liners are an expensive alternative to refinishing and can leave you with a hole in your pocket.

Another major disadvantage associated with the tub liners is that it reduces the size of your bathtub.

There are also some great advantages of using the bathtub liners. One of the most common reasons for using a liner is that it is a quick- fix. The liners are an easy and quick alternative to a total remodeling of the bathtub and can fix many problems that crop up every day.

The other major advantage it has over a total remodel is the economic factor. The cost of lining is very minute as compared to a total remodeling of your bathroom, though it is more expensive than refinishing.

Tub lining also is preferred because it creates a lot less mess than the total remodeling of the bathroom.

Also one of the many things that make the tub lining a better option is the competition associated with it. It is a well known fact that competition makes a service better and more efficient. This is also true for tub lining. There are many companies out there which are competing for your business and they strive to outshine the other by providing you offers that are more lucrative and better than the other. This gives you a much better deal.

The bathtub limning can be a boon for your bathroom if the decision is made wisely enough and can help you keep that bathroom of yours like you always wanted to.
