Walk-in Mobility Showers The Flexible Choice
The accessibility of tailor made mobility showers are in most cases quite a bit easier in comparison with getting in and out of a bath, unless of course the step is too high. We recommend installation of grab rails for extra support and to assist in transferring into and out of the shower.
Commonly getting into a shower cubicle will need an individual to take a step upward into it. Dependant on your strength and stability it’s beneficial to have a grab rail installed on the wall for getting into or for use in the shower. To eradicate this need level access mobility showers can be selected that have a base that’s virtually flush with the flooring.
Level Access Mobility Showers
Level access shower trays have an entry tolerance of below 15mm. They’re consequently effortless to navigate independently and place less strain on a carer’s back when pushing you into the shower.
Low Level Access Mobility Showers
These mobility showers are positioned on top of the existing flooring and can usually be fitted just about anywhere, even if it’s not close to the main drain. The trays are elevated at the front, in order for the water to drain towards the rear of the shower tray and can sometimes be pumped above floor level. A small ramp can also be placed in front of the tray to enable access to individuals using a mobile shower chair.
Wet Rooms
In a wet room all or a portion of the bathroom is transformed as a large shower area. The floors and walls in mobility showers are entirely waterproofed. Sometime a large level access shower tray is installed or alternatively the entire floor area is coated with appropriate non-slip, water proof flooring. The surrounding walls are sealed and normally tiled. Wet rooms provide a lot more space for showering and create a more open feel to the bathroom.
