6 Bath lavs come in wide variety including, traditional farmhouse sinks to contemporary clear-glass vessel sinks.
7 Marble is a popular material for creating tub decks.
8 Hydrotherapy whirlpool tubs have a fan motor that blows air—not water—through dozens of tiny holes to create the whirlpool experience.
9 An integrated, multipurpose shower stall contains showerhead, handheld sprayer, adjustable body sprays, aroma-therapy system and steam heads.
