Accessible Showers: Making Your Space Safe and Functional

Everyone deserves accessible bathrooms. When it comes to the best bath fixtures for people with limited mobility, we have you covered. Our barrier-free shower designs are slip-resistant, making them perfect for homeowners with disabilities.

When evaluating which accessible showers are best for your home, there are a few key factors to consider. Don’t settle for just any barrier-free shower; choose quality handicap showers from Vintage Tub & Bath.

What Makes a Shower Truly Accessible?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifies what an “accessible shower” is. Wheelchair-accessible showers are typically barrier-free showers, which means they have a low threshold. Other accessible showers may have spaces for shower chairs, shower pans, and grab bars.

Wheelchair-Accessible Showers

The goal of an ADA-compliant shower is to accommodate any person with physical limitations. Wheelchair-accessible showers are the most common type of handicap showers. They act as transfer showers, allowing the wheelchair user to sit on a shower chair and transfer back to their wheelchair when they’re done.

ADA-Compliant Showers

ADA-compliant showers must be a certain width on the inside. These measurements are only minimums, and at Vintage Tub & Bath, we take handicap showers seriously. Our freedom showers meet all ADA regulations for accessible showers.

We have a wide variety of ADA roll-in showers for wheelchair users. We also provide spacious walk-in showers and tubs with low thresholds and shower kits that make bathing accessible for elderly people.

Slip-Resistant Materials

No matter what your accessibility needs are, a slip-resistant shower can make your life a lot easier as a homeowner. If you’re a senior who is dedicated to “aging in place” (staying at home), our freedom showers are perfect for you. We use slip-resistant materials that keep you safe when transferring from your bathroom floor to your tub shower.

Key Features of Accessible Showers

It’s time to make your shower more accessible and easier to use. Whether you’re opting for a multi-piece shower kit or revamping your entire tub shower unit, we have what you need to succeed. Keep the following features in mind when shopping for the perfect walk-in tubs and roll-in showers for your home.

Width

The ADA specifies that accessible showers must be at least 36 inches by 36 inches on the inside. We go above and beyond these requirements — all of our rectangular accessible showers are at least 60 by 36 inches wide.

Wheelchair-accessible shower units must also have low thresholds, with lips no higher than half an inch above the bathroom floor. Our roll-in showers mesh seamlessly with your existing floor.

Material

Most accessible showers are made from acrylic. This is a slip-resistant material that combats breaks and chips. We also offer stainless steel accessories like grab bars.

Installation Type

We provide alcove showers for maximum accessibility. Our accessible shower kits offer optional accessories like shower seats, grab bars, and rainfall shower sets that are wall-mounted and easy to install.

Drain Location

Choose from right-drain, center-drain, and left-drain shower units from Vintage Tub & Bath. We work with your plumbing to ensure proper drain placement. This also improves the ease of cleaning and mobility within your tub shower.

Finish

Our accessible showers and related accessories come in multiple finishes. From driftwood to stainless steel, you have your pick. Choose the finish that works best with your other piece units and shower stall accessories. For example, if you opt for stainless steel grab bars, we recommend choosing a stainless steel shower head to match.

Shape

We offer both rectangular and square accessible showers. Our accessible square shower is an alcove center drain that is ADA-compliant. It measures 42 by 37 inches.
