The nice thing about them is that they accommodate larger people, people with disabilities, and the elderly. And your normal bathtub the range of weight is three-hundred pounds, so the bariatric will accommodate a heavier weight with someone with a wheel chair or just a heavier person. It also is accessible for someone to come in and sit down, they have anti-skid floors, they have handheld showers, and you can get as elaborate as steam or shower heads, and different type of systems installed in the bariatric showers. Also too they can accommodate your existing bathroom. Your doors can be opened from the left or the right, and many times they will fit in your standard tub area. They can actually install one of those. And your cost is a little bit higher, because it is more advance function. But they are wonderful for people who have disabilities or for the elderly who have problems with being more mobile. And you can do your seamless showers, your glass doors that open from the right or the left, and also they can be accommodated with a steam shower, and they really are because they are sleek looking. It is larger, but yet though it is not a heavy look in your bathroom. And a lot of times because the baby boomers they are getting older, they are building another home or their retirement home so they are considering that that is something that they may need in the future. And yet though for resale it really is an upgrade, because it is wire doors, and it has more function with your grab bars, and your seating in there. When it comes right down to it people actually take more showers than they take more baths, because everyone is in a hurry, and it is kind of nice to have a seat, and have a little more room, and you don't have to worry about crawling over the tub. That big step to get in. So really I think that because we are a world of baby boomers in our country we are getting older, and that is something that people are thinking about.
