Enhance Your Independence With
These Expert Design Tips
Many homeowners opt for a walk-in shower because of the improved accessibility and enhanced independence it offers. When creating the perfect plan for shower remodeling in your Fullerton, CA home, adding safety features can take your project to the next level.
You can choose from many excellent safety designs to improve the overall accessibility of your new walk-in shower. At Shugarman’s Bath, we provide educational in-home consultations in which we’ll help you find the best features to meet all your needs.
Consider these safety design ideas for your Orange County shower remodeling project to make your bathroom a safer place for everyone.
Install Grab Bars In Your Walk-In Shower
Walk-in showers offer easier access to entering and exiting the bathing area. For those with mobility issues, stepping over a standard tub can be a struggle and downright dangerous.
The low threshold of a walk-in shower is more accommodating and more comfortable to step over. While this is great for getting in and out of the shower, some individuals may have balance issues and need extra support while bathing.
In this case, it’s best to install grab bars in strategic locations. At Shugarman’s Bath, we offer an exceptional line of these safety accessories so that you can find the perfect match to complement the rest of your bathroom.
When it’s time to install your grab bars, we’ll consult you for the ideal placement, ensuring they’ll be most effective for the person who needs to rely on them. You’ll have the ultimate peace of mind of knowing that extra support is right there when you need it.
Get Built-In Seating For Your Shower Remodel
Built-in seating is a great way to add luxury to your walk-in shower. While it’s an excellent safety feature for those who are unable to stand for the entire duration of a shower, it can add a luxurious spa-like element to the shower for others.
Instead of worrying about falling because of balance or other issues, you or your loved one can safely sit through the shower. We have a great selection of options for shower seating, including chairs and benches that fold up when not in use and benches molded into the shower walls.
We custom-order every part of your shower remodel to ensure that it meets your specifications, including any features to help you age in place. During your design consultation, we’ll present our options to help you create the ideal walk-in shower.
Opt For Personalized Storage Options During
Your Shower Remodeling Project
There’s nothing more dangerous in a shower than clutter. A misplaced shampoo bottle can spell disaster if you accidentally step on it. So, as you design your new walk-in shower, it’s important to consider your storage options.
At Shugarman’s Bath, we can outfit your new shower system with recessed shelving and storage options, ensuring all your bathing products have a home. These stylish options will also improve the overall aesthetics of your bathroom by eliminating unsightly clutter.
Upgrade To Easy-Open Shower Doors
As you plan your shower remodel, consider the placement of your shower doors. It’s important that they be fully functional to allow full access to the shower stall. In addition, they should be easy to open.
You should never have to struggle to open your shower doors. This can result in slip-and-fall accidents as you attempt to exit after your shower. We use only premium materials, ensuring your shower doors will work flawlessly.
Another thing to consider is the type of shower door you select. If you want your door to open outward, there needs to be enough space for it to fully open. When the door is not fully operational, it can pose a hazard for entering and exiting the shower space.
We can help you choose between a hinged and sliding shower door based on the layout of your bathroom. In addition, we’ll ensure it’s fully operational before we call your project complete.
Choose Non-Slip Walk-In Shower Surfaces
If you have an older model shower, there’s a good chance the base has a slippery surface. Many older products didn’t feature non-slip surfaces and required sticky add-ons to enhance user safety.
Today, we can accommodate you with a textured shower base that helps prevent slipping. You’ll still have the option for a stylish, customized shower base that complements the rest of your bathroom, but it will have the benefit of a non-slip surface to keep you and your family safe.
