Shower Enclosures for Easy Access

Shower enclosures can make a huge difference for those with accessibility problems, such as the elderly or disabled.

Shower enclosures can transform lives – literally. For the old or disabled getting in and out of the bath or a cumbersome shower enclosure can be awkward and even dangerous. Simple daily tasks can become a difficult struggle. Walk-in shower enclosures are the obvious answer to help those struggling because of a disability or because they lack the strength to lift themselves out of tubs. Walk-in shower enclosures also combine the luxury of a spa, ensuring the showering experience is always a pleasure.

Comfortable Shower Enclosures

Those who have weight issues, a disability or agility problems will find walk-in shower enclosures more suited to their showering needs. Baths can simply be out of the question. So if you have a bathroom that is dominated by a bathtub that takes up valuable space, taking out the tub and installing a shower enclosure instead can make the world of difference to your daily showering routine and to your bathroom's sense of space and style. Contemporary shower enclosures that use semi-frameless designs, clear glass doors and that maximise the space in your room

Safer Shower Enclosures

There's no doubt that for the elderly who experience difficulty in lifting their own body weight that baths can be dangerous. Getting in and out of baths can increase the risk of slipping – especially if the bath doesn't have appropriate hand grips. A walk-in shower enclosure with a non-slip shower tray is more convenient and safer. Investing in easy-access shower enclosures are the ideal solution for those families who live with an elderly relative. Their relative may wish to retain their independence but you don't want to be worrying about them every time they run a bath. A walk-in shower enclosure will give you peace of mind.

Practical and Convenient

As well as being more practical, shower enclosures are easy to clean and maintain. With toughened glass screens, they are secure and power shower proof. And you can even invest in glass protection treatments to ensure you won't be dealing with lime scale or calcium build ups from hard water. Showers are also more hygienic – nursing homes now opt for shower enclosures or wet rooms instead of baths. Whirlpool baths used to be popular but are now no longer recommended because of the bacteria they can fester.
