Accessible Shower Remodeling for Florida Homeowners
If you’re planning to renovate a bathroom in your home, you may want to consider adding an accessible bath or shower. Luckily, homeowners across Florida can confidently turn to Morgan Bath & Shower—a division of Morgan Exteriors—for accessible bathtub and shower remodels.
The Importance of an Accessible Bath for Your Home
Easy-access baths and showers are a valuable addition to any bathroom renovation, especially if you or a loved one are older, have a disability, face any mobility limitations, or plan to age in place. Accessible bathtubs and showers make it easier and safer for individuals to bathe themselves, helping them maintain their independence and improving their quality of life. Younger family members can also benefit from accessible baths and showers, as these enclosures can help reduce the risk of slips and falls across all age groups.
Accessible Bath Design Ideas
Whether you prefer a bathtub or standalone shower, certain design choices can make your new enclosure more accessible.
Enhanced Safety With Senior-Accessible Showers
Are you interested in adding a wheelchair-accessible shower to your home? Walk-in showers (sometimes referred to as “barrier-free showers” or “low-threshold showers”) are ideal for wheelchair users, seniors, and other individuals with mobility limitations because they eliminate the need to step over a high wall when entering and exiting the bathing space.
Wheelchair-Accessible Baths
Many individuals with limited mobility opt for walk-in tubs, since they make it considerably easier to transfer into and out of the bathtub.
Accessible Bath Accessories & Hardware
Once you’ve chosen the ideal bathtub or shower for your needs, you’ll have to accessorize it. Features such as grab bars, non-slip flooring, seating, and shelving can all make your new enclosure safer and more accessible.
Beautiful & Functional Bath Designs for Accessibility
When you picture an accessible bath or shower, you may imagine an enclosure devoid of any charm or style. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Accessible bath designs can still be incredibly elegant and appealing, especially if you partner with a contractor offering a wide range of colors and patterns to choose from, like Morgan Bath & Shower.
Why Choose Morgan Bath & Shower for Your Accessible Bath Design?
If cost is a concern, you may be tempted to tackle your bathroom renovation yourself. Unfortunately, unless you have extensive experience performing bathroom remodels, a DIY project could end up costing you more time and money in the long run. To be on the safe side, you’ll want to instead use professional bathtub and shower installers from a trusted bathroom renovation company like Morgan Bath & Shower.
