A bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the cultural context. In
the most literal sense, the word bathroom means "a room with a bath". Because
the traditional bathtubs have partly made way for modern showers, including steam
showers, the more general definition is "a room where one bathes". There can
be just a shower, just a bathtub or both; and often both plumbing fixtures are
combined in the bathtub. The room may also contain a sink, often called a "wash
basin", "hand basin" or "lavatory" (USA), and often a toilet fixture. |

A bath, bathtub, or tub (informal) is a plumbing fixture used for bathing. Most modern bathtubs are made
of acrylic or fiberglass, but alternatives are available in enamel over steel or
cast iron, and occasionally wood. A bathtub is usually placed in a bathroom either
as a stand-alone fixture or in conjunction with a shower.
Modern
bathtubs encompass an overflow and waste and may have taps mounted on them.
They may be built-in or free standing or sometimes sunken. Until recently, most
bathtubs were roughly rectangular in shape but with the advent of acrylic thermoformed
baths, more shapes are becoming available. Bathtubs are commonly white
in colour although many other colours can be found. The process for enamelling
cast iron bathtubs was invented by the Scottish born American David Dunbar Buick.
Two
main styles of bathtub are common:
Western-style bathtubs in
which the bather lies down. These baths are typically shallow and long.
Eastern style bathtubs in which the bather sits up. These are known as ofuro in
Japan and are typically short and deep. |
