Plumbing Solutions
for Easy Access & Use:
|
|
Easy-Use Faucets
Replacing knob-type faucets with lever-type faucet handles, especially single-handle faucets, can make use easier for those with limited flexibility or strength. High-arch faucets provide easier access to the water, making it much easier to put hands (and other things) under them.
|
|
Tubs & Showers
with Seats &
Grab Bars
Replace your old-style shower or tub for greater convenience and safety. Modern tubs & showers can include grab bars, seats, and hand-held shower nozzles.
Tubs, Tub/Showers ("Shower/Tubs"), and Showers are all available with these accommodations, in a attractive variety of styles and colors.
|
|
Easy-Access Showers
For much more convenience and safety, showers can include even more than grab bars, seats, and hand-held shower nozzles. They can include low-threshold shower entry, for ease of entry and exit.
"Zero-threshold", or flexible-threshold, showers enable even easier walk-in or wheelchair-access to showers.
"Spray wall" nozzle arrays -- providing a wide-area spray from several nozzles in one wall of the shower -- can eliminate the need to maneuver a single shower nozzle,
|
|
Walk-in Tubs
Walk-in tubs allow you the luxury of bathing, without the hassle (and hazard) of climbing into, and out of, an ordinary bathtub. Walk-in tubs allow easy entry through a door, and generally include a seat for comfort. When the door is closed and sealed, the tub can be filled, and you can enjoy the comfort of a bath, without ever having to lay down in the tub.
Some models even have the option of a shower enclosure extension!
|
|
Comfort-Height Toilets
Traditional toilets (and some modern toilets) are often too low to accommodate safe and easy sitting or getting up. "Comfort-height" toilets provide adequate height, without awkward, messy and unattractive "booster" seats.
|
|
Grab Bars
Rather than putting your weight on things not designed to hold you up -- towel racks, sinks, toilet tanks, shower door handles, etc. -- install sturdy "grab bars" in key places -- inside shower or bathtub space, around toilet, beside sink, and elsewhere, for safer movement.
|
|
Fixture Placements
Much of accessibility is in arranging the layout of plumbing fixtures and grab bars to accommodate easy access and use. Bowers Plumbing can help you get your resources rearranged as needed, or even help you develop a whole new bathroom or kitchen to accommodate your need for independence.
