Experience the Benefits of Low Threshold Showers

Discover the benefits of low threshold showers for your home. Designed for safety, accessibility, and style, our showers provide a comfortable and secure bathing experience for everyone.

/ 01

Enhanced Safety & Fall Prevention

Low-threshold showers eliminate the high step-over found in traditional tubs and showers, reducing the risk of slips and falls. This is especially beneficial for seniors, individuals with mobility issues, or anyone planning to age in place. By creating a safer bathing environment, you can maintain your independence and enjoy peace of mind. In West Michigan, where icy conditions can exacerbate mobility challenges, a low-threshold shower is a proactive step towards preventing accidents and ensuring long-term safety. We prioritize safety in every installation, using non-slip surfaces and grab bars to further enhance security.
/ 02

Improved Accessibility & Independence

Low-threshold showers are designed for ease of use, allowing individuals of all ages and abilities to shower comfortably and independently. The minimal barrier makes it easier to enter and exit the shower, reducing the need for assistance. This promotes greater autonomy and dignity, allowing you to maintain your personal hygiene with confidence. Whether you have limited mobility or simply prefer a more convenient showering experience, a low-threshold shower can significantly improve your quality of life. We offer a variety of accessibility features, such as grab bars and seating, to further enhance comfort and usability.
/ 03

Increased Home Value & Appeal

A low-threshold shower can enhance the value and appeal of your home, particularly among buyers seeking accessible or age-friendly features. As the population ages, the demand for homes with universal design elements is increasing. By investing in a low-threshold shower, you're not only improving your own quality of life but also making your home more attractive to a wider range of potential buyers. In Kent County, where many homeowners are planning for long-term living, a low-threshold shower is a smart investment that can pay off in the future. We use high-quality materials and stylish designs to ensure your new shower enhances the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.

Sheri Bolt

So happy with these guys!! We had a small laundry room that we turned into a combo half bath/laundry. Very tight space in a 115 year old renovated home. The owner made a great recommendation on stool & sink placement that made way more sense then where I originally wanted it. Very happy!

Such an Ah-may-zing company. I called with a water heater leak and they immediately came out to do the repairs. They are half the cost of other companies quotes. Clean, professional and will definitely recommend them to family and friends 🧡
