Key Factors
Working closely with healthcare professionals and occupational therapists means we approach the design of your new walk in shower differently to our competitors, concentrating on the following key factors:
The less mobile the person, the larger the area is needed for turning. In our experience all too often baths are replaced with shower cubicles that do not allow enough space.
Most shower trays that are fitted must be strong enough to bear not only the weight of the user but also assistance from family members or carers. Without sufficient strength, the product will crack and leak, causing damp problems after the installation.
The higher the step into a walk-in shower the more core strength is required. Often stepping out of the shower or bath is far more dangerous than stepping in. For that reason, the correct safety flooring or use of a level access showering solution can help prevent and reduce falls reducing hospital admissions in the longer term.
It is very easy to overlook the possibility of being scalded by hot water. If the correct temperature controls are not installed and calibrated, users can easily be burned.
Some installations use pumps to bring water to and from your walk-in shower, which in our experience can result in costly maintenance issues later on. We always try to design and install a natural gravity based drainage system.
Keeping the room warm for the user is important for many people who are suffering with an illness or general older age. We use ladder style towel rails that will not only heat your room but your towels too. They can also be fitted with a dual fuel feature to enable you to warm towels in the summer months. It is also possible to install under floor heating for an added touch of luxury.
