Shower Benches

If you are looking to purchase a shower stool to add safety and comfort to your bathroom, there are a few reasons why a teak shower stool is a great choice.

No man-made material can match the quality of genuine teak for use in the bathroom. Teak is naturally water resistant. This water resistance helps eliminate mildew, making keeping the teak shower stool clean a breeze.

Teak is warm, not only in appearance, but also while in use. Your bare backside will appreciate this when you sit on your teak shower stool for your shower.

The beauty of teak is a major factor for its use in the bathroom. You can get all the safety of a shower stool without having to settle for a white, clinical looking piece of furniture.

A teak shower stool is comparable in price to its more clinical looking cousins. You can get the spa look without a large price tag. A teak shower stool is the ultimate in luxury and safety for your bath.

My handheld shower sprayer is one of the best bath safety items that I own. By using the shower sprayer while I’m seated on my shower bench, the water doesn’t spray straight into my face. I have control of the spray’s direction without having to get up from my shower bench.

I’m glad that I spent a little extra and bought the handheld shower sprayer that has an on/off control for the water supply. I turn the water off when lathering my hair and shaving my legs. Not only is this better for the environment, but it also saves me money on my water bill. When I’m ready to rinse, the water is available at my fingertips, and it’s already warmed to the temperature that I was just using. You don’t have to wait for your hot water to make it from the basement water heater to your second story bathroom.

A handheld shower sprayer will make shower time less intimidating for youngsters and can even be used to rinse Fido when he needs a bath. Some handheld shower sprayers even have massage sprays available. I’ll be adding one of those to my Christmas list!

A shower bench and grab bar are the one-two punch that every bathroom requires to be a safety knockout. By implementing a shower bench, it is possible to remain seated throughout the bathing process. A shower bench is especially useful for the elderly, a woman in the last months of her pregnancy, or for someone recovering from a recent illness or surgery—basically anyone who can use some support to make shower time easier.

By pairing the shower bench with a grab bar, you will have a great way to stabilize your entry and exit from the shower, as well as offering leverage to help you raise and lower yourself form your shower bench. A smartly placed grab bar will really increase your feeling of well being in the shower and allow you to take your time meeting your hygiene needs.

A specific kind of grab bar called a tub rail is extremely beneficial in the bath. These super safety items attach directly to the side of the tub for easy entry and exit and are often height adjustable so that they are the perfect size for you no matter how tall you are. A tub rail is also portable so it can travel with you and make bath time easier whether you are in Berlin or Baton Rouge.
