Low level access showers are specifically designed to be easily accessible and a safe and comfortable bathing, for individuals with mobility issues. Whether you have difficulty stepping over a high threshold, using a traditional shower chair, or standing for long periods of time, our low level access showers provide a solution that meets your needs and enhances your independence.

Low Level Access and Level Access showers differ primarily in their entry thresholds. A Low Level Access shower, as the name suggests, has a lower lip or step than most traditional showers, typically around 60mm or less. This feature allows those with some mobility issues to enter and exit the shower with greater ease.
On the other hand, a Level Access shower goes a step further. It has an entry threshold of 10mm or less, virtually creating a flat surface. This design is especially beneficial for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility challenges, as it eliminates any steps, making access to the shower even easier and safer. Both options are designed with safety and comfort in mind, catering to various levels of mobility and ensuring a more enjoyable showering experience for all users.

A wet room and a Level Access shower share a common characteristic – both provide easy, step-free access to the shower. However, they differ in their design and usability. A wet room is a completely open plan, waterproofed bathroom where the shower area is not enclosed or raised, allowing for more space to manoeuvre, with water draining away through a single point in the floor.

On the other hand, a Low Level Access shower is an enclosed showering area with a minimal entry threshold of 60mm or less. Level Access showers have a lip of 10mm or less, and are designed specifically for easy wheelchair access. While an enclosed shower can offer the same accessibility benefits as a wet room, it has the added advantage of containing water within a specific zone, preventing the entire bathroom space from getting wet.

Low Level Access Showers are designed specifically for those who have mobility issues but can manage a small step. This includes the elderly population and individuals with disabilities or injuries that make traditional bathing options challenging. Mobility showers are also suitable for those seeking to future-proof their bathrooms, catering to changing mobility needs as one ages.

However, they may not be the best option for wheelchair users who require a completely level surface for showering. For those requiring wheelchair access, a wet room floor conversion or level access shower may be a more suitable alternative. If you are unsure about which showering option is best for your specific needs, our team of experts is always on hand to provide personalised advice and guidance.

The cost of a Low Level Access Shower can vary depending on your specific requirements, the complexity of installation, and any additional features such as grab bars, rails, shower seats, or other mobility aids. It’s also important to remember that certain individuals may qualify for VAT relief or grants for home adaptations.

The best shower for individuals with mobility issues largely depends on the degree of the individual’s mobility challenges and their specific needs. For those with limited mobility but who can manage a small step, Low Level Access Showers are an excellent choice due to their minimal entry threshold and safety features, plus the lack of shower doors makes getting in and out even easier.

For wheelchair users or those with significant mobility challenges, a Level Access Shower or a Wet Room conversion may be the optimal selection, providing an entirely flat and easily accessible showering space.

Our showers are all designed with safety, independence, and comfort in mind, and can be equipped with additional features like grab rails and shower seats to further enhance the showering experience.

Level access showers and other wet room showers or conversions may be more suitable for those who face significant mobility challenges or wheelchair users, as these provide completely flat access. It is essential to consider the individual’s comfort, safety, and independence when making this decision.
