Step In Showers Offer Safety and Beauty in Your Bathroom
Step in showers are becoming more popular, especially for use in the elderly and disabled community. Step in showers offer more safety and privacy options than a traditional shower. They do not require stepping over a tub or a special floor, which could make entering and exiting the shower a challenge. The floor of these showers is almost flush with the bathroom flooring, greatly helping to reduce the risk of accidental falls and allowing access for those using a walker or a wheelchair. They also provide as many if not more design options than a traditional shower, allowing you to create a shower that is comfortable, affordable and offers luxury at a price that most can afford.
When designing a step in shower, there are some important things to consider. You will want to make sure that the door of your shower is easy to operate and safe to use while preventing water from seeping out. You will also want to make sure that the knobs and handles are easy to reach and use. A professional experienced in designing and installing step in showers can help make sure you are choosing the best options and accessories for your shower.
Some people tend to have limited mobility, and there are many safety issues involved with having someone using a shower that does not fit their physical needs. Installing a shower like this can be difficult, and even a skilled handyman may find it difficult to place it properly. Fortunately, the team at Kitchen & Bath Ideas can provide professional and reliable solutions. We will measure your bathroom space, help you plan out your layout, offer a multitude of design choices, and recommend the options that are most appropriate for you.
In addition to be easier to get in and out of, step in showers offer many other benefits. Some of these include hand holds that can be attached to the shower rail, extra handrails for ease of use and increased safety, and non-slip flooring. Other customizable features to consider include a built-in seat and shelving or storage solutions. And gone are the days of ugly, one size-fits-all white plastic shower units. Today’s manufacturers offer endless finishes and ways to add custom design elements which will help your step-in shower blend in seamlessly with the rest of your space.

You or your family member will be able to live a happier and healthier life and have greater peace of mind with a step in shower custom designed for your needs.
