Shower Modifications

Shower Platforms

These custom-made items are constructed from aluminium and are finished with a textured black powdercoat. The platform provides a false floor to the same height as the shower entrance

As this is a custom item, measurements will need to be taken by our tradesman prior to being constructed. During installation, a lifting tool/arm is provided so the platform can be easily lifted for cleaning purposes.  We recommend lifting the shower platform weekly in order to allow the item to dry properly.

Weighted Shower Curtain

A white striped polyester curtain which has a bottom hem that forms a closed pocket. A thin wire is contained within the closed pocket that provides weight to the shower curtain so that the curtain does not blow out from the side of the shower/tub during showering. 

Available sizes: 1800mm X 1800mm (or) 2000mm X 2000mm.

Wall Mounted Shower Seats

Wall mounted shower seats are useful when there is limited space within the shower recess. They provide a safe seating option for showering and, once mounted, the seat can easily fold up and down which allows ease of access in and out of the shower. Shower seats come in a range of widths including 450mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 960mm (all 400mm deep).
We can also provide bariatrich seats rated to 350kg. **All items subject to site visit due to stud placement etc. 

Hand Held Shower Hoses

This unit consists of a chrome high pressure head and a 2 metre shower hose. The hand shower can be installed in place of an existing shower rose with a non drilling hook.
Additional chrome hooks can be installed upon request.
If both the existing rose and hand shower hose are required, a switchcock diverter can sometimes be installed.
This device allows the water flow to be diverted from either outlet using a push/pull motion.

Hand Held Shower Hose on Sliding Rails

Similar to a hand held shower hose, this unit consists of a chrome high pressure head and 2 metre shower hose that attaches to a 600mm stainless steel knurled grab rail. This allows the shower head to be adjusted to any height along the rail, and can also be used as a hand held shower.

Lever Taps

Quarter turn lever taps can be installed inside the home to replace ‘hard to turn’ or dripping taps. Our style also includes colour markers so that hot and cold taps are easier to identify.  These are a very popular style of taps as they can be easily operated with one finger, if needed.

Shower Screen Removals

Removal of shower screens can provide easier access to the shower area. This is usually done by simply removing the door/s to the entrance of the shower.
We recommend the installation of an aluminium curtain track and weighted shower curtain to help prevent water splashing out from the shower as well as leaving the top and bottom tracks of the shower frame in place.
If required, removal of the bottom track can be done (subject to site visit), however, this must be clearly stated on OT’s paperwork when submitting any requests for modifications.
If a wider access is required for a wheelchair or similar, the entire shower screen and side panels can be removed and a custom curtain track can be installed.

Note: When requesting the removal of a shower screen please also include
the installation of a shower rod and curtain.

Note: Curtain tracks can be modified to suit most shapes or sizes.
Note: Shower screens are unable to be removed if a power point is within 2m from the shower. 

Curtain rods/shower tracks

When an existing shower screen has been removed, we can install custom curtain tracks to suit most shower layouts

Shower tracks are constructed from aluminium and, combined with a weighted shower curtain, can help prevent water from splashing out whilst showering. 

In some cases, after a shower screen has been removed, a curtain track will not be sufficient (if a powerpoint is within 2m of the shower) and a glass panel may need to be installed to suit Australian Standards). 

Water retention wedges

These black rubber wedges are normally installed in hobless showers or wet rooms. Once installed, they provide a barrier to help prevent water from running outside of the shower recess.

These wedges are 150mm wide / 10mm high in a speed bump style design

Soap Dish attachment

This shelf is able to be attached to new grab rails or shower on sliders within the shower recess. 

 

 

Shower Shelf

We can assist with the supply and installation of stainless steel shower shelves. Please see below for the styles that we are able to provide (item may differ from example photo due to stock availability).
