Depending on the available space, there is
always a possibility to add both a soaker tub and a walk-in shower in an ensuite. The
first step would be to assess a potential expansion of the ensuite. Do you have an
unused room or closet beside the ensuite that could be integrated into the space?
Alternatively, we can also look at condo-sized fixtures that are made specifically for
smaller spaces - Daryl Berden, www.ridgewater.ca
