Jerry Simon Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I once stepped out of a bathtub in a hotel, and the bath floor was about six inches lower than the floor of the tub. I wasn't at all expecting such, and I stumbled, fell, and there was quite a bit of blood when I hit my head on the vanity. Saw this today on an inspection; bath floor five inches lower than the tub floor. Any code or the like that says this isn't allowed/is dangerous?

There's simply no one who can see anything wrong with it. Maybe it falls in the category of stupid. I wouldn't do that in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Simon Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Yeah. But getting out of a clawfoot tub is inherently dangerous, and caution is naturally used when stepping out of one. Stepping out of a regular bathtub, you don't expect the drop-off. Awkward as all heck at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Reminds me of the rule that landings on either side of an exterior door should be the same approximate elevation (with one or more exceptions). It should be applied to built-in showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
