Roll In Shower

We live in a house of 80 years with a fairly large bathroom. Our son was injured in an accident and is now quadriplegic. We need to change the bathroom shower for wheelchair access equipment. Since there will be someone in the shower with him, the region should be about 5 feet by 5 feet.

My question is how to manage the drain, which hinders the water to below, if you want to use a database or preformed tiles of some sort, and any other general advice you can give your experience . I searched many websites and we have seen many pictures of this type of shower. I ask the first-hand knowledge about it. Is it reasonable to 5 x 5?

Thank you for any info.

Yes. I need more details. homeremodeler00@yahoo.com

When my old (and bad), parents moved in with me, I took a shower "kit" that was installed 6 feet wide from side to side and about 3 feet deep come back ... He was the recipient, the three sides and two small "seats" built in and I mean real quick. I do not know who's butt could take on these seats, so I just put a white plastic shower seat in the middle of them to sit. Then I installed a shower head that comes on about a 4 foot pipe so they can shower themselves in a sitting position. The temp controls are handy and flow control on the right where the shower head.

The receiver has an opening for a drain. Since my house is built on a slab and there is no basement, I had the plumber drill down and connect the shower drain in the floor to vent. About a foot or so of the shower, I had ANOTHER leak installed in the floor and connected to the battery as a handicap shower has no threshold to keep water, a curtain or door. Oh yes, I do not remember a barrier of black water have been put under the shower pan. This work is more than ten years and works like a charm. Not a butcher or a leak or anything else. All centers Loews home improvement or Depo near you? You should be able to find everything you need, even if you have a special order. Also HGTV and DIY channels on cable often cover this type of habitat improvement. They are on the Internet at hgtv.com and diy.net.

When someone wants to help with the shower routine, it might be outside of the shower and hold the shower message and do what it is without getting wet or even the shower. I realize your son has probably need help more than my parents, but it can work for you too.

The shower kit is not glamorous or anything, but the sides are easy to maintain - no grout lines. I also put in the toilets of a disability (several centimeters, as well as larger and oval). And a wall sink so that the wheelchair can roll around and no trace of pedistal on the knees.

Hope this helps. God bless you and take care ....

Yes, 5x5 is reasonable. We took a shower stall standing and replaced (after adding an additional wall) with a shower base special ordered from a factory outlet plumbing here locally, and three walls lined with FRP . Worked on pretty well. A couple other suggestions from my personal experience ... 1. get a shower chair that is made of all PVC pipes. They are very light and EXCLUDE rust. and 2. if you can get a shower that has a "pause" (sorry, I do not know the technical term) for the flow of water. You will find that useful as well.
Sorry to hear about your son, I hope he is ok, it is very difficult at first.
