Benefits of a Shower Bench
In addition to adding an attractive and eye-catching element to your bathroom design, shower benches offer a multitude of practical advantages for you, your household, and any guests who need to bathe in your home. Here are three of the primary benefits of installing a custom shower bench in your bathroom.
Accessibility
Bathing is a notorious roadblock in the accessibility sphere. People of all body types and ages deserve the right to bathe in peace, comfort, and privacy. However, those who use mobility aids or have trouble standing for long periods of time are often barred from using stand-up showers without assistance.
Installing benches in showers goes a long way toward improving the accessibility of bathing facilities. A sturdy bathroom bench gives many people with limited mobility the option of bathing in private. Additional ADA-compliant structures such as grab bars make it even easier for people in wheelchairs or walkers to enter the shower without help.
Accessibility is an issue that affects everyone, not just people with permanent disabilities and age-related disability issues. If you or someone in your household sustains a foot or leg injury, having the option of sitting down while showering will make a world of difference during the recovery period.
If you want to make your bathroom remodel as accessible as possible for household members and guests, consider incorporating a handheld shower wand into the design as well.
Built-In Shower Bench
When you purchase a custom tile shower from Solace, you'll have the option of incorporating a built-in seat into your design. We can use the same tiles to cover your bench or use a different hue or pattern to add an eye-catching burst of color.
A built-in bench looks luxurious and bespoke, and the freedom to choose its precise appearance, shape, and location within the bathing facility makes this a very popular option.
Corner Seat
If you want to maximize shower space while still offering bathers a safe and comfortable place to sit, a corner bench might fit the bill perfectly. It's an ideal seating solution for smaller showers because it leaves plenty of room for those who prefer to stand.
Folding Bathroom Bench
Another terrific option for small spaces, the folding-style bathroom bench gives you a wide range of color and material options while preserving the limited floor space in your shower. We safety-test our folding benches to ensure their stability, and we take great care during the installation process to ensure the structure is sound.
