WALK IN SHOWERS

SHOWERING MADE EASY

THE MANY BENEFITS OF A WALK-IN SHOWER

One of life’s little luxuries is having a refreshing shower every day, soothing our aches and pains and lifting our mood, so just imagine how blissful it would be to take a shower quickly, easily and safely without worrying about tripping, slipping or fiddling about with screen doors.

A walk-in shower is a godsend for those of us who are not as nimble as we used to be. We understand that being able to live in your own home and keep your independence as long as you can is very important. A walk-in shower is a sensible, cost-effective solution to helping maintain that independence.

A reduction in mobility is, unfortunately, something many people face as part of the ageing process. You may have difficulty moving around or standing for any length of time, or even have a problem with maintaining your balance.

All of these mobility issues mean that taking a shower is no longer as easy as it was, and you, or your family, may well need to consider making a long-term change to your bathroom, such as a walk-in shower, which will greatly enhance your quality of life.

EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WALK IN SHOWER AND A WET ROOM?

In terms of location, a walk-in shower is typically installed in its own space within an existing bathroom, whereas a wet room is an entirely open plan bathroom where the floor is constructed to allow water to run away through a drain set into the floor. There is also a significant cost-saving to installing a walk-in shower as opposed to a wet room.

WHAT SAFETY FEATURES WILL I HAVE IN A WALK-IN SHOWER?

See below our comprehensive range of walk-in showers has a wide choice of special features, all aimed at eliminating problems for people with limited mobility and designed with your safety and comfort in mind:

WALK IN SHOWER FEATURES

NON-SLIP SHOWER TRAY

This gives your feet more grip to make you feel safe getting in and out of the shower.

LOW-LEVEL SHOWER TRAY

With a lip of around 40mm, this gives easy access to those who have reduced mobility but can still manage a small step.

SAFETY GRAB BARS

Many bad falls and hip fractures occur when elderly people are getting in and out of the shower. Grab bars give you extra support and confidence in your stability when you are getting in and out of the shower and moving around in the shower. These bars are one of the best ways of helping you stay safe and can be positioned in the best locations to suit you, fitted vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

Corner grab bars can also be fitted as one continuous bar running along two sides of the wall, which is really helpful when getting up or down from a shower chair.

SAFETY GLASS SCREENS

Our top-quality glass screens are made with tempered safety glass, which means they are stronger and less prone to break.

THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED SHOWER

This will be equipped with a temperature limiter to ensure you have a safe, comfortable and constant water temperature which will avoid any possible risk of scalding.

WALL-MOUNTED SHOWER SEAT

Many people struggle to stand for the length of time it takes to shower. This provides you with comfort and support when showering and help you to avoid slipping and falling. If you wish, the seat can be hinged so it can be folded away against the wall when not being used. We can even provide seats with armrests and back support.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL SPECIALIST FEATURES AVAILABLE?

Adjustable showerhead. This can be set to the position which gives you the most comfort while showering.
Easy to use shower control. We can provide easy to operate lever handles, which avoid the need for difficult or fiddly twisting or turning action.
Digital shower control. Amazing advances in shower technology mean you can activate the shower remotely from a button on the wall, or even an app on your smartphone or tablet before entering the shower.
Waterflow options. With a Rainwater shower head, you can decide whether you would like the luxurious experience of feeling like you are showering in crystal clear raindrops falling gently on your body. You can also choose a handheld showerhead.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW WILL A WALK-IN SHOWER BENEFIT A WHEELCHAIR USER OR SOMEONE WHO IS VISUALLY IMPAIRED?

For those in a wheelchair, the walk-in shower tray can be on the same level as the rest of the bathroom floor. With many special safety features, walk-in shower rooms greatly reduce the need to depend on having assistance in the bathroom, thereby preserving independence and dignity.

HOW WILL A WALK-IN SHOWER HELP MY CARER HELP WITH MY SHOWERING?

Depending on your specific needs, walk-in showers can have full height screens which open outwards, or half-height panels, to give your carer enough space to assist with showering whilst minimising the water spillage into the rest of the bathroom. In addition, a control unit located outside the walk-in shower space could also help the carer.

ARE WALK IN SHOWERS EASY TO CLEAN?

Walk-in showers are very easy to keep clean as there are fewer places for dirt and grime to accumulate. Unlike a standard shower enclosure with a track for the screen doors, there are no runners or metal pieces which attract corrosion. The tempered safety glass screen has a ClearScreen protective coating which helps it stay crystal clear and prevents the build-up of limescale.

WILL A WALK-IN SHOWER LOOK OUT OF PLACE IN MY BATHROOM?

Our walk-in showers are designed to complement your bathroom, suiting any size and shape, however unusual, and blending in harmoniously with existing décor. We all have different ideas of how we want our bathroom space to look, and walk-in showers can be designed to suit your chosen style, whether that’s modern minimalist or more traditional.

A frameless glass shower screen can even make a small bathroom look more spacious and open. Our tempered glass safety screens offer versatility of design and pattern options including coloured, frosted or engraved.

WHAT WOULD IT COST TO HAVE A WALK-IN SHOWER INSTALLED?

The cost of a walk-in shower will vary depending on your individual requirements and the size and shape of the shower space. We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach because we understand that everyone has their own individual needs and that bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes.
