It was just a matter of time before someone invented the infinity bathtub. How many of us have redone a bathroom only to discover that it’s already dated before we finish? I think this is a prime example of that. And, of course, when you go to sell your house, wouldn’t having an infinity bathtub be a great feature? Of course it would!

For most of us with existing structures, adding this would be a challenge. The infinity bathtub is not elevated above it all like traditional tubs, but rather countersunk, as it were, directly into the floor, thus creating an uninterrupted expanse of luxurious waters of glacial blue. I expect to see these starting to hit the market within the new high end construction projects. Hello, Hollywood! Or Texas, there seems to be a lot of Texan's who still have money to build big.

I think I might term this as “recreational bathing” at its finest. Do any of us really need an infinity bathtub? No. Is it nice? Yes! Can realtors use as a new marketing tool? Absolutely! Do I want one? No. That’s the Yankee in me saying that I can get by with my one hundred year old, cast iron, six foot soaker with all four ball and claw feet in tact - save a little rust on the exterior.

This shower, however, could definitely sway me. How very cool to have a glass wall, no doors and, floor drains that make it look practically non-existent. Way more appealing than the infinity bathtub. I guess you can tell - we are a shower loving household. This one is called “Endless” with a fixed glass panel.
