Walk in showers can be considered to be “ultra-safe”. They provide a safer showering or bathing experience for people who may find it challenging to climb into a freestanding bathtub, or safely step over the ledge of a standard shower enclosure.
The majority of walk in showers incorporate low level shower trays, with an ‘entry threshold’ of three inches or less, so the slipping hazard is massively reduced when entering or exiting the shower space.
