Our Inverurie shower has a seat and grab handles, with concealed controls positioned outside the spray. Panelled walls and a compact basin cupboard complete the room. For anyone considering a seated shower arrangement, the important details are how the seat, rails and control positions relate to the way a specific person will use the enclosure.
Start by checking how the user approaches the seat, where their hand naturally reaches for support and whether the door leaves the space they need. Then check which controls and toiletries they can reach from the seated position, as well as where they will start the water before entering. Discuss these details with the person using the shower and the relevant specialists where needed. The combination only works if the layout makes sense as a sequence for that individual. The presence of a seat on its own tells you very little.
