It is expected that this product will be widely used in Hospitals, Care Homes, Residential Homes and Hotels alike.  It is ideally suited to the needs of the disabled, handicapped and the elderly, in fact anyone with special needs.
It represents extremely good value for money with the highest quality of manufacture.

All Hotel groups throughout Britain are aware that by law they must comply with the DDA regulations.  This can create a major problem not only the cost of compliance but designating a bedroom for just the use of a disabled or handicapped customer.
The design of the Independence Shower cubicle is especially well suited to the Hotel situation with its swivel seat it caters for the majority of special needs but within seconds the swivel seat can be removed and you are left with and extremely attractive ensuite shower to satisfy all customers needs.
The additional bonus with the cubicle is it can be installed within a day and remains virtually maintenance free, its easy clean wipe clean smooth surface ensures that it will look good for years to come. The feature that has been of great interest to facility managers across the country is that the design of the shower ensures that it is totally leak proof and will remain so throughout its life removing fears of water escaping and the subsequent damage that it causes.

The shower incorporates a removable swivel shower seat which swings and rotates all the way inside and outside the cubicle to provide easy access for the bather. The seat is provide with locking mechanisms to provide a solid and safe base for transfer but the chair can be removed in an instant to reveal the complete versatility of this shower cubicle.

With no tiling to crack and no mastic to split the Independence Shower offers a leak and trouble free option.
