Walk-In Showers Buyer’s Guide

5Nov2017

Looking for a safe, stylish, and practical way to improve your bathroom’s accessibility? Irish Stairlifts and Disability Bathrooms are recognised across Dublin and the greater Leinster region for designing and installing high-quality walk-in showers, level access showers, and wetrooms tailored to your individual mobility needs.

With more than 25 years of experience and a reputation built on trust, craftsmanship, and care, we’ve helped countless homeowners, carers, and wheelchair users achieve comfort and independence at home.

Why Choose a Walk-In Shower?

Walk-in showers are designed for easy entry, maximum safety, and elegant design. A low or level-entry shower eliminates the need to step over a high bath ledge—reducing the risk of trips or falls and making bathing more accessible for everyone, including wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.

Key benefits:

Level or low threshold for wheelchair access
Non-slip, water-resistant floor tiles
Minimal maintenance and easy to clean
Stylish, modern look for any home
Can be installed upstairs or downstairs
Sealed, tanked, and guaranteed not to leak

All our installations come with a 5-year warranty against leakage, giving you complete peace of mind about safety and durability.

Types of Walk-In Showers We Offer

1. Level Access Showers A completely flat entry shower that allows full wheelchair roll-in access. Ideal for users with limited mobility, these showers ensure safety without compromising design.

2. Shower Tray Enclosures with Half or Full Height Doors For those who prefer a contained showering area, these enclosures use elegant glass panels and easy-folding doors, allowing carers to assist while keeping water contained.

3. Wetrooms An open-plan solution with wall-to-wall waterproofing, giving your bathroom a contemporary finish and making cleaning easier than ever.

Folding Wheelchair Friendly Designs

If you or a family member uses a folding wheelchair, we can adapt your walk-in shower layout to accommodate it seamlessly. From reinforced access zones and grab rails to removable screens, our installations allow for easy folding wheelchair manoeuvrability and secure positioning near the shower area. Every project is custom designed to suit your exact mobility needs.

Stairlift or Through-Floor Lift – Which Is Best?

The Wessex VE Through-Floor Enclosed Home Lift

20Aug2014

When it comes to improving accessibility in your home, two of the most common solutions are stairlifts and through floor lifts. While both provide safe and practical mobility, they are designed for very different users. Choosing the right option depends on your mobility needs, your home layout, and your long-term independence.

Stairlifts: Who Are They For?

A stairlift is one of the most familiar types of home lift. It runs on a rail attached to your staircase and carries you up and down in a seated position.

Stairlifts are suitable for people who:

Can walk on flat ground but find stairs challenging
Have enough leg movement to sit and stand safely
Do not rely entirely on a wheelchair

While some wheelchair users attempt transfers, stairlifts are not designed for this purpose. They require significant upper body strength, and manufacturers generally advise against wheelchair-to-stairlift transfers, as they can present safety risks.

Installation: Stairlifts are usually quick to fit. Most are installed within 2 to 6 hours.

Pros

Fast installation
Fits neatly onto the staircase
Does not require additional house space
Safe, quiet, and easy to use

Cons

Not suitable for wheelchair users
Slightly reduces staircase width

Through Floor Lifts: Designed With Wheelchair Users in Mind

Through floor lifts offer a safe and practical option for wheelchair users. Instead of navigating a staircase, the user stays in their wheelchair and travels vertically between floors. This eliminates the risks involved with transfers and ensures full independence.

Key features include:

Travel from ground to first floor without leaving your wheelchair
Fold-down seat option for users who prefer to walk into the lift and sit
Quiet, smooth operation with unobtrusive design

Installation: Through floor lifts are more complex to install than stairlifts. They require a cut-out in your floor and take around 2 to 3 days to complete.

Pros

Provides independence for wheelchair users
Does not restrict or alter the staircase
Safe, reliable, and user-friendly

Cons

Longer installation (2–3 days)
Requires dedicated space at both levels of the home

Which Option Is Right for You?

Both stairlifts and through floor lifts are excellent when used for their intended purpose. If you can still walk but have difficulty climbing stairs, a stairlift is a simple, cost-effective choice. For wheelchair users who want safe, independent access to all levels of their home, a through floor lift is the ideal solution.

It is always best to consult with an Occupational Therapist before choosing. They can help assess your individual needs and ensure you select the most suitable, safe, and future-proof option for your home.
