Accessible Bathing Systems

Best Bath Systems Logo developed a floor system which addresses the critical concerns of safety and sanitation.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,  every year about 235,000 people over the age of 15 visit emergency rooms because of injuries suffered in the bathroom. More than one third of the injuries happen while bathing or showering.  Individuals 65 and older account for 79% of bathroom injuries.
Best Bath Regional Manager, Cal Osborn discussed codes and guidelines pertaining to bath units, surface finishes, accessories and methods of installation.

Inspired by the European concept of the barrier free wetroom, Best Bath developed the Unifloor, a one piece pre-leveled flooring solution with waterproof joints.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Unifloor system: 
  • has no seams  (which means no grout)
  • has a sloped floor for consistent drainage
  • requires less space (toilet and shower share the required turning radius)
  • is easily maintained, easily cleaned (groutless environment eliminates bacterial growth)
  • is constructed to last 30 years
  • reduces installation and construction time
Its' gelcoat surface treatment provides a tough and durable finish which can be enhanced with custom color tiles to achieve a look suitable for many barrier free bath needs - commercial, institutional and/or residential.

Best Bath offers a full line of showers which will transform a standard bathing area into an accessible, attractive and safe wet area!
