Why Choose a Curbless Shower?
Traditionally, many dwellings have had a combination tub/shower bathing unit that gives the user the option of
standing to shower or sitting in the bathtub. However,climbing in and out of a bathtub can be difficult and even dangerous for people whose balance, strength, or mobility may be limited. Some people who use a wheelchair find bathtubs and showers unusable. People recuperating from an accident or illness, may suddenly find themselves unable to use a fixture to which they
have been accustomed. Others may just become unable to bathe as they once did due to a subtle and gradual
loss of mobility, agility, or strength.
Bathrooms are one of the most dangerous rooms in a dwelling due to the hard, slippery-when-wet surfaces.Bathrooms typically have few handholds or grab bars which are available to aid with support. There are a growing number of people aging and with disabilities. More and more, people are learning that to be able to bath safely, bathroom modifications must be made.
Traditional fixtures often do not meet the variety of individual needs. A relatively new fixture design, the curbless shower, is extremely versatile and can be considered “universal”. These showers feature a very low or no threshold at all so users may easily walk or roll into the unit. Curbless showers also may have a built-in seat, a hand-held shower, and appropriately placed grab bars for support, though can still be used in a traditional manner where the bather stands to shower. The only bathing option that a curbless shower does not offer is the opportunity to soak. However, in many dwellings today there often is a second bathing fixture–which could be a bathtub.
