Low Level Access Showers

Low level access showers can be suitable for some wheelchair users, depending on the height of the tray and the user’s mobility needs. While they offer easier access than standard showers, a completely level access or wet room design is usually more appropriate for full-time wheelchair users. 

However, with the right adjustments—such as a ramped edge, half-height doors, or a carer-assisted setup—a low level access shower can be adapted to meet the needs of certain wheelchair users. It’s important to assess individual requirements and consult with a specialist installer for the most suitable setup.

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.

Some bathrooms may require minor plumbing adjustments or floor alterations to accommodate the low-profile tray and ensure efficient water flow. A professional assessment can help determine the best installation approach to suit your specific space and needs.
