‘Level access’ implies a design approach that eliminates any form of physical barrier, making an area easily accessible for all users. In the context of shower design, ‘level access’ refers to a shower tray that is installed at the same level as the floor (or close enough to the floor where accessibility isn’t impaired). This design element not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also significantly reduces the risk of trips or falls, especially for individuals with limited mobility.

The primary aim of a level access design is to foster inclusivity, convenience, and safety in bathroom design, thereby offering a superior and worry-free showering experience for every user.

Level access showers are specifically designed to cater to a wide range of users who may have specific needs or preferences when it comes to their showering and bathing experience. They are an ideal choice for individuals with limited mobility, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, or those who use mobility aids.

These showers provide an effortless, safe, and comfortable showering experience, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing independence.

Safety is the paramount feature of a level access shower. The absence of a raised shower tray reduces the risk of slips and falls, one of the most common bathroom accidents, plus many level access showers incorporate non-slip safety flooring for an even safer experience.

Hand rails and grab bars can be installed to provide support and stability during use, or a shower seat can be added for increased comfort and safety, allowing users to sit down while showering if they wish. Finally, the layout and design of level access showers ensure that all controls, such as taps and temperature adjustments, are within easy reach. These safety considerations make level access showers a safe choice for individuals of all mobility levels.
