Frequently Asked Questions
What problem does it solve?
Getting over a bath rim without stepping.
The step needs standing on one leg.
On a wet floor, lifting the other high.
Onto a slippery curved surface.
Then doing it again in reverse.
How does the bench change that?
It turns the step into a slide.
Sit down outside the bath, on firm ground.
Slide across the seat.
Then lift the legs over one at a time.
Seated, unhurried, with both hands free.
Is it for bathing or showering?
Showering, over a bath.
The seat sits above the water line.
The user showers sitting on it.
It does not help somebody.
Who wants to lie in a bath.
Why does fit to the bath matter?
Because it straddles the rim.
Inside legs on the bath floor.
Outside legs on the bathroom floor.
Both adjusted so the seat is level.
Baths vary in all of those.
A curved bath base - is that a problem?
The inside legs may rock.
Which is worse than no bench at all.
Check the base shape before buying.
Some benches have wider inside feet.
Or independent height adjustment.
What happens to the shower curtain?
It becomes a genuine problem.
It must hang inside the bath.
And outside the bench seat.
Otherwise water leaves the room.
A split or wrap curtain solves it.
Should a grab bar go with it?
It usually works better with one.
Something to steady on while sliding.
A vertical bar at the approach.
Helps the sit-down and the stand-up.
The two are commonly specified together.
