Saddles, shower seats

What are shower saddles used for?

Everyday toileting can cause a lot of discomfort for people with disabilities and the elderly, so saddles are a functional solution to the difficulties that arise. A shower seat is a wall-mounted, waterproof seat that facilitates hygiene procedures for people with disabilities or those who would find it difficult to stand due to age or health problems. If necessary, simply unfold the frame, comfortably and safely sit on it and perform the necessary hygiene activities. After everything, the seat should be folded again. Shower seats can be installed in classic shower enclosures, although the solution we recommend is a curbless shower. It is easier to enter and usually provides more space. A bathroom for seniors designed in this way is a safe proposition. Shower seats for the disabled and seniors must be easy to use, stable and durable. That’s why we suggest what to look for when choosing this accessory.

How to choose a saddle for a shower cubicle, a shower seat for the disabled and seniors?

A shower seat for the disabled and seniors is usually made of stainless steel. Thanks to this, on the one hand, it is durable, and on the other hand, water and moisture do not cause corrosion. The seat itself is usually made of plastic. It is important that the seat is non-slip, the person sitting on it must not accidentally slip off. The feet, on the other hand, are finished with a rubber cover, which on the one hand increases stability, and on the other hand, prevents scratches on the tiles and the shower cubicle. A practical solution is a tilting shower seat, i.e. folding. Thanks to this, it does not take up space or disturb when the shower enclosure is also used by other people. Folding shower seats must be easy to fold and unfold, it must not require a lot of force or jam. The last issue is that the tilting shower seat for the disabled is attached to the wall in an invasive way, which means that you first have to drill holes in it. For safety reasons, as well as the correct method of installation, taking into account, m.in the appropriate height, we recommend that the attachment be carried out by people who have already had experience in this type of work. Finally, we would like to mention that not every shower saddle is adapted for use by people with disabilities, you always have to check this information.
