In our Ellon shower room, a folding seat sits within the dedicated shower, alongside a simple pedestal basin and wood-effect vinyl flooring in the wider room. A folding seat is easy to add to a list of fittings. Its position deserves an early decision because the supporting wall and surrounding shower fittings have to work together.
Ask your designer to show the intended attachment position and confirm the selected seat and fixing requirements before the wall finish is agreed. Consider whether a handset, controls or a screen fitting will compete for the same part of the wall. The seat should also be considered with any specific needs of the person who will use it. Agreeing those relationships early lets the wall, finish and shower fittings be planned as one arrangement, with the visible choices settled around the position where the seat is actually needed.
