An uninformed decision when you are doing accessibility remodeling or any bathroom remodeling can cost you. Look at the difference between these two shower wall samples. You don’t have to be an experienced contractor or plumber to see the difference in quality and durability. Can you imagine that anyone who was truly educated on the pros and cons of each of these products would choose to put the thin walled one in their home or their parent’s home? This type of shower or tub surround product gets it strength from being molded into curves creating air pockets between the surround and the wall that make adding grab bars a challenge and sometimes nearly impossible. The surround from Best Bath Systems is one of my favorites. It combines durability and beauty and is easy for building professionals to work with. I think that people end up with the other type of product because they don’t know about their options. Maybe the people they are buying products from don’t know about all the options. I also know that people often make choices based only on the initial cost of a product. They don’t take into account the cost down the road of making changes or of fixing problems. This is truly unfortunate, especially in situations where people plan to stay in their homes for the rest of their lives or when people know they may have changing needs due to a disability. Actually, people make choices about accessibility all too often without all the information they need as well. Did you know for instance that you can put a barrier free shower in the same spot as a tub? Did you know that you don’t always have to cut the joists of your home to put in a roll in shower pan? If you think you may want a roll in shower in the future, but you aren’t really sure, you can have a walk in shower that converts to a roll in without additional major construction? You see what I mean? There’s a lot for consumers, therapists, and building professionals to know when making that initial decision about which products to use.
