Everything You Wanted to Know About Barrier Free Showers

Best Bath green illus

ORCA HealthCare is proud of our safe, durable, and (dare we say) beautiful multi-piece barrier free showers. They come in several different stylish, functional designs with a full range of threshold heights allowing for wheelchair accessibility. Barrier free showers can be installed in senior homes, private residences, universities, or wherever you need a top-quality handicap bathing area.

We’ll crate and ship your shower kit to anywhere in North America and can offer full installation services within Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland. But whether you are a homeowner or contractor, putting in our low threshold or roll-in showers isn’t difficult. The walls are backed with plywood, so no reinforcing is necessary and accessories can be easily and securely mounted where you need them; these showers also come with innovative, leak-proof snap-together joints. In addition, the base is pre-leveled, which means no mud-setting (and less hassle). Entry thresholds lower than 1.25” are reinforced with steel studs to prevent damage.

When it’s ready, you (and its users) will appreciate the faux-tile fiberglass design, gleaming gel coating on the walls, and anti-slip finish on the floors. Cleaning is easy because there is no grout to worry about. To show you that we stand behind our products, all showers and shower pans come with a 30-year limited warranty.

Available accessories include Symmons shower valve with glide bar and handheld, fold-up padded seat, WaterStopper (a collapsible water dam), grab bars, no-caulk drain, curtain rod and weighted shower curtain.

ORCA HealthCare has raised the bar for quality and lowered the barrier of affordability, making these multi-piece handicapped showers truly accessible to all.

    1. Hi Ruby,

      Material cost for a simple walk-in shower will range between $2,000- $3,000.00 depending on the shower dimensions and threshold height that you are looking for. Let us know if you have any additional questions. ORCA HealthCare

    1. Hi Luann,

      We have a 60″ X 36″ roll-in or walk-in shower insert that would fit your required space with the ability to have the shower drain in the centre, right or left side depending on your current plumbing location. These shower units would allow plenty of space to accommodate a chair. Here is a link on the product
