FAQs

What is a shower seat?

A shower seat is a waterproof chair which is designed to fit in a shower so that people with disabilities or mobility issues can shower comfortably with the support they need as they will be able to wash themselves whilst seated.

How high should a shower seat be?

Typically, it’s recommended that shower seats are installed between 17 and 19 inches above the bathroom floor so that they’re easily accessible for those who need them.

How to install a Shower Seat

To install a shower seat or stool, you must first decide on a suitable position. Shower seat heights will depend on the height of the user, but they are usually around 450 to 550 mm above the shower tray. Next, you hold your wall plate against the wall with the 3 screw holes at the top. Use a spirit level to make sure it’s straight, and then drill a 10 mm hole into the wall and secure your wall plate in place.

Use your spirit level once again to mark the positions of the 3 remaining screw holes; rotate the wallplate clear of the marked holes and drill out the remaining holes. Next, rotate the wallplate back into its original position and fit the shower seat over the wall plate by securing it with the grub screw.  

Here at Commercial Washrooms, we also offer bathroom refurbishment services, so we can both supply and fit our products to bring your washroom project to life! 

How wide should a Shower Seat be?

The correct size of your shower seats, stools or benches will ultimately depend on the proportions of the user, as well as the amount of space available to you in your shower enclosure. The generally accepted, standard size for shower seats in cubicles and enclosures in terms of width is at least 14 inches; for people of slight builds- but you have a certain amount of freedom when it comes to the width of shower seats, and you can make use of wider shower seats if needed.

What are the benefits of a shower chair? 

• You can give those with mobility issues and disabilities more independence and privacy when showering as they will have extra stabilities whilst using the facility.

• They’re easy to install.

• They improve safety in your washroom, helping to prevent accidents such as slips.

• Shower chairs are available in a variety of styles so you can find an option to suit your bathroom.

How do I choose a shower seat?

Choosing the right shower seat for your needs can be tricky, which is why we’ve listed a few considerations for you to make before making a purchase:

• How much available space do you have? If you have a small shower area, you can find compact shower chairs and folding shower seats which are more space efficient.

• What style of chair will suit your washroom? You can find chairs in a number of different colours and finishes so there should be an option that suits the aesthetic of your facilities! From contemporary slimline seats to more traditional shower chairs, there’s something for every bathroom.

• Do you require any extra features? Some shower seats will have additional features and aids such as padding (such as this premium black padded wall mounted shower seat with legs) which will improve the level of comfort of the seat or legs for additional support. 

• What is the shower seat’s weight capacity? You’ll want to check the weight limit and size of the chair before purchasing so that users can enjoy maximum comfort whilst staying safe.

• What’s your budget? This will inevitably impact your decision, but you’ll be pleased to know that we offer shower seats at a range of prices to suit all budgets.
