The top 6 reasons why you need to get a walk in shower - Hampshire

Many homeowners are now looking to upgrade their standard bathtub to a walk-in shower, and it’s no surprise at all.

Apart from being trendy, walk-in tubs are safer and easier solutions for bathing. They are more comfortable than standard bathrooms, especially for older adults with mobility issues.

Advantage of Walk-in Showers

Seen lots of ads on walk-in showers and curious to know if it’s a worthy investment? Don’t know if it’s right for you?

Below are some pros of walk-in showers;

1. Combat Mobility Issues

A walk-in tub is an excellent solution if you have limited mobility. Stepping over a 17-19 inch rim traditional bathtub can be quite challenging and risky for those with mobility problems.

Many of our customers use wheelchairs, scooters, or are older adults who may have problems climbing in and out of a standard tub.

With a walk-in shower, you can easily navigate the bath and sit down to have your bath.

2. Slip Resistant

Slipping and falling in the bathroom are quite common home accidents. The statistics of falls that occur among older adults in the bathroom is quite staggering. Walk-in showers are a great investment to avoid falls and slips. They are safe, slip-resistant, and reduce risks of bathroom accidents.

3. Easy to Clean

Walk-in tubs are not just easily accessible but also easy to maintain and clean. Standard showers are usually designed with porcelain interiors, which can be difficult and even dangerous to clean. Walk-in tubs are generally made with tiles, which makes them much easier to clean.

4. Custom Design

You can customize the design of your walk-in tubs to your taste and preference. Walk-in baths have no standard size or shape, and their wide range of designs gives you the freedom to pick what you want.

You don’t have to worry about whether your bathroom is too large or small, a walk-in tub can fit all bathroom sizes, and you can easily choose a design that suits your bathroom space best.

5. Hydrotherapy

People with mobility problems can comfortably use walk-in tubs to perform exercise that will help improve their conditions.

Using water can help cure pain. That’s why many athletes love to soak in deep tubs after a game and why some adults do exercises in the swimming pool.

Your walk-in shower can be set with like therapeutic air and whirlpool jets. With the combination of massage and heat, you can relieve pains and discomfort caused by other joint conditions while bathing. Hydrotherapy also boosts immunity, promotes overall health, reduces risks of depression, and improves mood.
