Shower Stalls with Seats

If you're in need of a shower stall but don't like the idea of standing up all the time and need a comfortable place to sit down, you should look into getting a shower stall with seat already installed. You can get them as part of the premolded stall, and it's a great place to sit for shaving your legs, or if you're worried about safety. Some people aren't strong enough to stand in the shower the whole time so a seat is necessary for their comfort and protection.

If you are planning a more elaborate shower stall such as one made of tile you can build in a nice seat to give you a great place to sit or store additional shower items. The best seats are at least 36 inches wide so you have enough elbow room to move around. The seat itself can be simple plywood that is covered by matching ceramic tile, or marble, or granite, you name it. Be sure it's a smooth surface for maximum comfort.

Adding this feature to your shower can make your house more appealing to an older market. As we age we are less steady on our feet and having a place to sit in a slippery shower will make it much safer. If you need offical handicap shower stalls we recommend reviewing our page on that.

The easiest thing to do is buy a premolded fiberglass shower stall with seat already included. This provides you with no extra work and what you seek is already there. They are available at places like Home Depot, Lowes and Menards, and may need to be custom ordered, but the wait is worth it.
