Product Information

This depends on the needs of the user and the specialist mobility bathroom surveyor can advise you on what they would recommend for your bathroom. Are wet rooms for disabled persons? To transfer into the bath, you reverse towards the shower board and sit down on it before swinging your legs over the edge to place them on the floor of the bath. It is strongly advised to have wall fitted grab rails fitted to support yourself whilst completing the transfer. Whilst showering you would usually remain seated on the shower board, but some people prefer to stand up and hold on to grab rails for support. Shower boards are usually made from plastic, but can in some circumstances be made from coated metal or wood. They often consist of six or seven slats with gaps for the water to run through, but some have a perforated top surface. Some incorporate grab handles or indentations designed for you to hold on to. And then, of course, there’s personal preference. Some people really need to feel clean and fresh no matter what, so a camping shower can only be an enhancement, whereas, for some others, that may not be as important – especially if they are out and about in the wild. The following specifications are recommended in Part M of the Building Regulations. However, they should be used only as a generic guide when the users are not known. When an individual user is known/for someone in their own home, personal factors such as the height of the person should be given priority: Self-adhesive strips or circles for use on the bottom of baths or shower trays are available and may help to reduce the risk of slipping in the bath or shower.

They provide splash protection for carers and are usually 750mm or 900mm in height so the carer can reach over them.

The best portable camping showers  

Electric showers require particular wiring and fuse installations for safety and will require a trained electrician. In a shower area/wet room all or part of the bathroom is converted for showering. The shower area floor and walls are completely waterproofed. The floor may have an extended level access shower tray or is covered with suitable slip-resistant, waterproof flooring. The adjacent walls are sealed and usually tiled. We have many selections in shower trays for your caravan and motorhome. For the most practical washrooms/ bathrooms we have everything from bathroom cabinets, basins and shower trays to electrical and manual porta pottis, swivel toilets and Thetford cassettes for your caravans and motorhomes. To cover the necesseties we have water tanks, pumps, waste carriers to the smallest parts needed such as hoses and taps all from popular brands such as Fiamma, Aquaflow and Whale. A level access shower is a shower area that doesn’t have a step or lip in any way to enter the showering area. This means that people with all levels of mobility can enter the shower, from children through to grandparents and wheelchair users alike.

Consider your ability to grip onto a grab rail. Do you have reasonable hand strength? Do you ever have pain in your hands, wrists, elbows or shoulders which would prevent you from pulling up or pushing down on a grab rail? If your grip is good, if you are relatively steady on your feet and if you are able to manage stepping up and down into a shower, or over a bath side, the installation of grab rails in a standard shower may be adequate to meet your needs. With the help of the Age Co group, Handicare has carefully selected a range of walk in showers to restore your independence when showering. It is easy to take everyday tasks for granted until your personal mobility is reduced. With limited mobility, tasks like showering can provide much greater risk of slipping or falling. When investing in an easy-access shower, washing without discomfort will once again become accessible.The mesh is removable for washing and replaceable when needed. Side supports are available and belt straps to keep you safely in position when being showered. Some cradles have a folding facility for stowing away when not being used. If you are beginning to struggle or feel unsafe when you get in/out of a bath or shower, it is time to consider installing some equipment to help you.
