Advantages of a Handicap Shower

Barrier-Free Showers: These accessible showers have a low threshold, permitting easy access. They feature water retainers or dams, which control water spillage and prevent falls. You can install a shower curtain or folding door in your barrier-free shower to prevent water damage to your flooring.

Wet Rooms: A wet room is a watertight bathroom that doesn’t have a bathtub or shower cubicle. Wet rooms are completely water proofed and feature an anti-slip surface. When you install a wet room, you convert your entire bathroom into a spacious shower room.

Walk-in Tub: Walk-in bathtubs feature a watertight side door with a lock, built-in seat, hand-held shower, and non-slip surface. They are much easier to get in and out of than conventional bathtubs because they don’t require you to climb over the side of the tub.

You can also install a power seat that facilitates transferring directly from your wheelchair. For more information on walk-in tubs, please click here.

Shower Accessories - A Cost-Effective Alternative

If you are on a limited budget, consider buying shower stall accessories that enhance accessibility and help prevent potential injury. These include grab bars, hand-held shower head, anti-slip flooring, shower ramp, or shower wheelchair.

Shower accessories make your existing shower easier to use without requiring the significant investment associated with installing a new tub or shower cubicle.
