Contrary to popular belief, the risks associate
d
with the shower area do not affect only th
e
elderly; they also have a signi
ficant impact on
younger people and children
.
Falls in the shower are much more painful fo
r
the elderly, but younger people are frequently
vic
tims of them; accidents are not limited
to slips, as incidents can some
times be even
more dangerous when electrical appliances are
involved
.
Water and the resul
ting risk of slippery surfac-
es mean that containers and bottles can easil
y
obstruct movement within the shower area.
Walk-in solutions are effective and long-lasting
when the layout of the space allows for their
installation and ease of use. Similarly, fitte
d
showers are well-suited to modern design
,
provided the floor space and dimensions allo
w
for it. Thinking solely of enlarging the space
and adding innovative accessories to make the
shower safer is a par
tial approach to solvin
g
the problem. More generally, designing a safe
shower means planning and providing for a
n
inclusive, user-friendly layout, without compro-
mising on good taste.
