Dealing with a disability is always a tough time for everyone involved, especially if this interrupts everyday tasks such as going to the bathroom for toiletry needs or baths/showers etc. This is why products that will allow your bathroom to be disabled-friendly will be near the top of the priority list. If you are struggling to decide how to make your bathroom disable friendly or what you need to achieve, then here are a few products that may help you on your way.
Walk-in Baths
Baths can be especially hard to enter at the best of times due to their height off the ground and awkward shape, which has left most people tripping over upon entry at some point! A walk-in bath makes it much easier for people who find this difficult. Obviously, installing a walk-in bath is relational to your bathroom’s size and shape, and an expert will have to come and measure this. However, this would also be the case for your average bath, so there is nothing to worry about here. Unsurprisingly with a walk-in bath, all you have to do is walk inside by opening a door on the side. This makes for easy access as there is no climbing or hurdling involved. Walk-in baths are available with entry from either side and in multiple colors.
Disability Showers
Similar to a bath, some showers can be tough to enter. As this is a vital part of daily life, having an easily accessible shower can be necessary. There is a low ramp included in these models to avoid climbing and allow an easy entrance to help your access to these showers. There are also anti-slip surfaces to ensure that there are no injuries inflicted inside the shower. Due to the influx of modern advances and constant discoveries, the disability shower has become possible. Therefore you can take advantage of this for a more comfortable experience whilst showering.
Wet Rooms
Wet rooms are now trendy amongst the general public and are now expanding from their original use, catering to the disabled. This is very convenient for people with disabilities since there is no entering or leaving a shower or bath space involved, as there are no walls! You can walk under the showerhead attached to the ceiling to get the wash that you desire. In structural terms, the wet room would need a downward sloping gradient to drain the water that will be dispersed onto the flow. However, these can be very handy in making your bathroom disable friendly.
So if you are looking to make your bathroom convenient for the disabled, then definitely consider purchasing one of the 3 products listed above, as this will save you large amounts of time and effort in the long term.
