Free Standing Shower Enclosure

[hotuk]

Hi,

Please can you advise where I can get a free standing shower enclosure, this is for a wet-room.

When I had the wet-room built for my mother in a wheelchair we had it designed so that water would not run down but unfortunately does.

Can I fit a wedge like they have in the swimming pool showers to stop water running down?

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Admin – Please move to the correct forum if it’s in the wrong one.



Thanks

Your options depend on the floor construction and covering.

For example, I have a wetroom with Altro flooring. It's sculpted in such a way that the water stays where it's intended, but if it wasn't then I could cut the flooring, fit a barrier, and have a new piece of flooring patched in by an Altra fitter.

What floor and flooring do you have?

Thanks for your reply Softus,

I have a concrete floor with tiles.

In that case you can buy these units from most suppliers of plumbing products, for example B&Q and I assume you mean the following shower unit -:

If this is the case, it can be secured to almost every type of flooring. Especially a concrete, tiled floor.

Using only 2 inlets (hot and cold) and 1 waste these are very easy to fit also.

Thanks for your reply dmcplumbing,

But I do not want a shower base because of the wheelchair, I only need an enclosure and the water will run into the gully in the floor and any excess water needs to be contained by the free standing enclosure – Hope I’m making sense



Thanks
