August 16th, 2009
Easy access showers are specifically designed to aids those with mobility problems. Being able to bath yourself is one on the most important factors in retaining your independence and with a shower specifically designed to aid you in this your independence can be regained.
An easy access shower can usually take two forms.
Low/level access shower trays.
These can be in various shapes and sizes, but basically consist of a shower cubical which has either a low level access tray (small step over) or level shower trays (no step over). These trays can be specially designed to fill the space which your traditional bath sat in. These showers can be fitted with doors (single or double) which swing open to aid access. Wheelchair friendly showers can also be purchased. To prevent water from escaping from the shower full height doors can be fitted or alternatively half height doors with shower curtains can also be fitted. Half height doors will allow a helper to aid in washing by being able to lean over. A non slip tray can be fitted to improve safety. A seat can also be fitted for the user to us when showering.
Wet room or wet floor shower areas.
These systems are more modern, and consist of either the entire bathroom or the shower area being fitted with waterproof flooring with graduated drainage. These systems offer level access and are ideal for wheelchair users. Shower screens can be fitted to suit the users’ size. Again the wet room can be fitted with non slip flooring to increase safety.

Bathroom Showers 101 – Choosing the Right Shower For the Bathroom
August 12th, 2009
Are you looking for a replacement for your outdated bathroom showers? Here are 7 bathroom shower options along with a brief explanation of their features to make choosing your showers for the bathroom an easier task.
1. Manual shower valves
Manual shower valves are the most basic of all bathroom showers. Usually, they only have one lever control to manage the flow of water and water temperature. They are fairly simple to use and are inexpensive.
2. Thermostatic shower valves
One advantage of having a thermostatic shower valve is that it provides a constant, even temperature and can easily cope with fluctuations in the flow and temperature of the cold and hot water feeds.
Most of this kind of bathroom showers sport extra anti-scald safety features. Most also cut off the flow of water ever tapping into the cold water supply seem near-impossible.
3. Concealed and exposed valves
Concealed or exposed valves are those shower valves mounted on the wall. While a concealed shower valve may be mounted on the wall like the exposed valves, they usually only have the control levers visible so that the entire mechanism is unexposed. Many valves of bathroom showers that can be mounted on the bathroom walls are either exposed or unexposed.
4. Twin shower valves
A twin shower valve has two levers compared to that of the simple manual and single-levered basic shower valves. One control is designed to manage the rate of the flow of water while the other control is for the purpose of controlling water temperature.
5. Triple shower valves
As the name suggests, a triple shower valve has three control levers. One control lever is for the water flow while another is for the water temperature. The third lever, however, is usually a diverter. A diverter is useful if you’re using two-headed showers.
6. Sequential shower valves
Sequential showers have only one lever. Rotating the lever at one time can already increase or decrease the water pressure and increase or decrease the water temperature.
7. Shower panels
Shower panels are very much like the triple shower valves in that they have three control levers: one for the water pressure, the other for the temperature and finally, a diverter. The only difference is that the levers are arranged resembling that of panel controls.
Specifications of shower panels vary widely but they most of the time sport the three control levers. The only drawback with shower panels is that there may be a need to regulate water pressure by installing a shower pump.
Bathroom showers are aplenty in the market and each may have added features different from that of another.
