Frequently Asked Questions
Why is folding the specified solution?
Because one shower has to serve everyone.
A permanent seat is in the way.
For anyone who does not need it.
A folding one disappears.
So the same enclosure works for both.
Where does that matter most?
Hotels, care settings and shared homes.
And any accessible cubicle.
Where the next user is unknown.
A fixed seat commits the shower.
A folding one does not.
How much does the wall behind have to offer?
Structure, not just board.
The seat carries an adult on a cantilever.
Applied dynamically as they sit.
Through a hinge, into the wall.
Tiled plasterboard will not hold it.
Can one be retrofitted?
Often not honestly.
The support belongs in the wall.
Put there before it was closed.
Into a finished wall, the real answer.
Is frequently a free-standing chair.
What wears out?
The hinge and the fold mechanism.
Carrying the load down.
And holding the seat up out of the way.
In wet, warm, soapy conditions.
For years of daily use.
Why does a seat that will not stay up matter?
Because it gets left down.
Which restores the obstruction.
That folding was meant to remove.
So the shower serves one user again.
It is a functional failure, not a niggle.
When is a legged version worth it?
Where the wall is doubtful.
A leg takes part of the load to the floor.
Which relieves the wall fixing.
At the cost of a leg in the shower.
To clean around and catch a foot on.
