What are the advantages of walk-in bathtubs with anti-slip surfaces?

Slip-resistant walk-in tub surfaces provide more traction than a smooth wet surface, helping with footing during entry and exit. They work alongside properly positioned grab bars, a suitable seat and careful bathing assistance where needed. Soap residue can still make a textured floor slippery, so follow the cleaning instructions. No surface makes a walk-in bathtub fall-proof. Compare the actual floor finish and support layout before choosing a model.
