Built-in tiled benches, corner seats and fold-down seats for comfort, shaving and safe seated showers.
A shower bench adds comfort, convenience and safety. It gives you a place to sit while you shave, helps with washing feet and is a necessity for anyone who showers seated. Benches can be built in with tile, formed as a molded part of a prefab shower or added as a fold-down seat in a smaller space. They need space and planning: a bench takes room from the shower floor, must be sloped so water drains and must be strong enough for real weight. In Nashville, benches are a popular feature in walk-in showers and accessible designs, and we help you balance comfort and space.
We measure the shower, discuss who will use the bench and recommend a size and height, typically seventeen to nineteen inches. A tiled bench is framed, waterproofed, sloped and tiled to match. A fold-down seat is mounted to solid blocking inside the wall and rated for the weight it will carry. We consider the position relative to the valve, the handheld and grab bars so everything is within reach when seated. We make sure the bench does not leave sharp corners, and we round or bevel edges for comfort.
A bench should be deep enough to sit on and the right height for comfort, and we plan this around the users.
Bench tops slope slightly to drain, and the whole bench is part of the waterproof system.
Fold-down seats need solid blocking inside the wall and are rated for the weight they will carry.
Controls, handheld and grab bars are placed so they can be reached from the seat.
