Bathroom Design Ideas

If you have a disabled family member, then it is important to make sure that your bathroom has the right equipment to make them feel at ease. There are many types of equipment available to make your bathroom suitable for disabled users, including walk-in baths and showers. There are also showers that offer a variety of facilities, such as special doors and trays, which are ideal for disabled users.

There are shower seats for wheelchair users, which come with a variety of colours and styles and offer many useful features. Some seats have padding, which provides extra comfort for the user and they also have arms and hinges for safety. It is important that these seats are installed properly, for safety reasons.

Grab rails are designed for disabled users and should be installed near all the areas that may be difficult to climb into or sit on, without assistance, such as the bath or the toilet. Grab rails come in a variety of colours and at around £10.00, are quite affordable. They also vary in size and shape, so it is a good idea to measure the area where you are planning to install them, so that you can choose the most suitable product.

There are motorised washbasin lifts for wheelchair users. These are available in a selection of styles and some come with a mirror. Wheelchair users can control the height of the washbasin and mirror to find a level that they are comfortable with, simply by pushing a button. Some motorised washbasins also come with spotlights.
