Defining the Scope
Remodeling can assume one of several different forms: Replacement, Renovation and Addition.
Replacement
The first type would be a simple replacement of an older fixture with a new one. For instance, removing an old tub in a 5-foot alcove and refitting a new tub or shower in the same space. This is the easiest, least costly, quickest and least disruptive. While changing out the tub, you may opt to replace the surrounding decking, skirting or both, but this type of remodeling does not involve reconfiguring the bathroom space, knocking out walls or making other structural adjustments.
The Mirage lives up to its name. While its 60" x 30" dimensions allow it to fit into a standard bath size alcove (rounded front bows out to 42"), it is spacious enough for 2-person bathing and can also be equipped with a full complement of hydrotherapy choices.

Renovation
The second type of remodeling is renovation. This is most definitely a more aggressive form of remodeling. Renovation can mean expanding the bath tub space, moving or removing walls, replacing a closet with a shower, re-routing water lines and drain, upgrading electrical, replacing tile - you name it. This type of remodeling project will take more time, cost more money, make more mess and definitely require more planning and coordination. While it makes sense to hire a professional remodeler for any of the three types of remodeling, it is an absolute must for renovation and addition projects!
Great design to maximize space. Originally designed and constructed for a yacht architect in England, the surprisingly roomy Atlantica is 2' deep yet so compact it can actually be tucked in a closet!
Addition
Lastly, there is addition. Here is where you add space, not reconfigure it. This is the most ambitious type of remodeling. However, when embarking on an addition project, you must be mindful that there are not only interior design and architectural considerations, but also external ones. The addition needs to complement and blend with the overall style and appearance of the house, which brings with it considerations such as zoning restrictions, distance requirements between houses and architectural requirements dictated by covenants, if in a subdivision or some type of private community. To make your installation even more "turn-key", MTI can provide you with bath furniture in contemporary design (shown), traditional or transitional. All pieces are handcrafted and exquisitely finished for long-term beauty and durability. Shown here with the Metro 1 tub with matching sink. The front deck area of the tub is 11" deep, which makes it very convenient for entering and exiting.
MTI offers a full complement of frameless enclosures, which are easy to install and provide a custom, finished appearance. They can accommodate various width shower openings and will work with MTI's fine line of acrylic shower bases and seated shower bases. More Info
