Impey –Modern Accessibility A
level-access shower makes it easier for users to get in and out of the shower area, and reduces the possibility of trips or falls. Market-leading wetroom manufacturer Impey explains further benefits of accessible showering spaces…
What is an accessible shower space? Accessible showering options empower individuals to maintain their independence and shower with ease and comfort; incorporating elements like level-access showering (usually a wetroom), grab rails, half height shower screens, and shower seating.
What to prioritise in an accessible shower space? Considerations for disabled users may be; does there need to be a turning circle for a wheelchair, or will the user shower with a carer? If so, the design should accommodate manoeuvrability requirements. It is important to specify a shower floor which will accommodate any extra weight requirements. Our Aqua-Dec EasyFit floor former, can accommodate wheelchair users and carers, supporting up to 47 stone (300kg), without the necessity for underboarding. The addition of a half-height shower door can aid users and carers.
Grab bars provide stability and support without extensive structural modifications. And wall-mounted shower seating provides safety comfort, and convenience for people with mobility challenges.
Why Choose a Level - Access Showering Solution?
A wetroom can be installed anywhere within a property, enabling a highly effective use of the shower area.
To create a fully-accessible showering space, our wetroom floor formers can be installed with slip-resistant vinyl flooring. This flooring choice provides safety, durability, and easy maintenance; whilst ensuring a secure and comfortable shower area for users.
Depending on the property, installation styles may vary. Popular as a quick and simple installation choice is the Aqua-Dec prefabricated floor former collection. It’s ideal for use with wooden or concrete flooring, is lightweight and offers strength and rigidity. The Aqua-Dec EasyFit wetroom floor former, can accommodate wheelchair users and carers, without underboarding; saving time and money. Aqua-Dec floor formers can also be installed with tiles or slip-resistant vinyl flooring.

Alternatively, for installation onto a new concrete floor, a screed template offers quick and easy creation of a drainage gradient. The Impey Aqua-Grade, reduces installation time and is ideal for a new build property.
Said Gary Major, National Sales Manager, Retail & Merchant: “Bathrooms that incorporate accessible features can combine high-end, desirable design with benefits to enhance safety, independence, and convenience.
Modern, inclusive bathrooms can add value to properties, as they meet a broad range of needs and reduce the requirement for costly retrofits later on. Future proofing is a significant investment, and well designed bathrooms contribute to a more welcoming, adaptable living environment; promoting dignity and independence for all.” Wetrooms & Showering Solutions Brochure | Impey, The UK’s market-leading wetroom brand (
