​Handicap walk in showers and tubs

Handicap walk in showers and tubs

How do I know which accessible shower will work for me? This is probably the biggest question we get when it comes to bathroom accessibility. You have a variety of choices when it comes to accessible shower systems.

Walk-In Showers – These are shower systems that have little to zero barriers when it comes to accessing the shower. In certain systems you can even roll a shower chair in and out with ease. These come in multiple sizes and dimensions and in most cases all you have to do is replace your existing bath tub.

Walk-In Tubs- You see these all over TV ads. The are probably the most talked about items when it comes to handicap shower systems. You walk into this shower and take a seat, turn on the water and then shower. After you have showered you just need to pull the plug and let the water out.

Shower Bay- This is a system that can be set up anywhere in your home. All you need is a faucet to plug the hose into and existing water runs right back into the sink with another hose. The shower bay has a motor that runs the water back to the sink. It’s very easy to put together and comes with a shampoo and soap dispenser.
