What Are Level Access Showers?

Level access showers are purpose-built bathroom installations that feature a completely flat or minimally raised shower area, with a maximum threshold height of 10mm. Unlike traditional shower enclosures, these systems are installed flush with the bathroom floor, eliminating the need to step over a shower tray edge.

The shower area is precisely engineered with a gradual gradient that effectively channels water towards a concealed drainage system, preventing water from pooling or spreading across the bathroom floor. This seamless integration creates a modern, spacious aesthetic whilst delivering maximum accessibility.


Benefits of Level Access Showers

Installing a level-access shower offers several crucial advantages:

Enhanced Safety

The elimination of stepped thresholds significantly reduces trip hazards, whilst specially designed non-slip flooring provides secure footing even in wet conditions. This combination dramatically decreases the risk of bathroom accidents, particularly for individuals with mobility challenges.

Independence and Dignity

Level access designs enable users to maintain their independence, reducing or eliminating the need for assistance during daily hygiene routines. The barrier-free entry allows easy access for wheelchair users and those requiring mobility aids, promoting confidence and autonomy.

Versatile Design Integration

Modern level access showers can be tailored to complement any bathroom style, from contemporary to traditional designs. The minimal visual impact and clean lines often enhance the overall bathroom aesthetic whilst increasing property value.

Future-Proof Investment

As mobility needs change over time, level access showers continue to provide appropriate accessibility without requiring further modifications. This forward-thinking design approach makes them an intelligent choice for homeowners planning for the future.


Design and Installation Considerations

Professional assessment is crucial for successful level access shower installation. At D&K Pearce, we conduct thorough evaluations of:

  • Floor construction and structural requirements
  • Existing plumbing configurations and drainage positions
  • Space optimisation and layout planning
  • Specific user requirements and mobility considerations

Installation requires expert knowledge of building regulations and water management systems. Our team ensures all installations meet current British Standards while seamlessly integrating with your existing bathroom design.

FAQs

A level access shower is a completely step-free shower area where the floor seamlessly transitions into the shower space with either no lip or a minimal threshold of 10mm or less. This design eliminates trip hazards and allows easy access for wheelchairs and walking aids.
Level access showers incorporate a gradual gradient (usually 1:40 to 1:60) that channels water towards a drainage point. We install high-performance drainage systems and carefully waterproof the entire area to prevent any water from escaping the shower zone.
We can install various safety features including slip-resistant flooring, grab rails at strategic positions, fold-down shower seats, thermostatically controlled shower units, emergency alarm pulls, and adequate lighting. All features are positioned according to your specific needs and current regulations.
A typical level access shower installation takes 3-5 working days, depending on the existing bathroom layout and any additional modifications required. This includes removal of old fittings, waterproofing, tiling, and installation of all new fixtures.
While level access showers can be installed in most bathrooms, we need to assess several factors including floor construction, drainage possibilities, and room dimensions. We conduct a thorough survey before installation to ensure your bathroom is suitable and to determine the best solution for your space.
