Is getting in and out of your bathtub becoming treacherous and unsafe due to mobility loss? Are you seeking a shower solution for a disabled housemate or wheelchair user? We have a solution! The AmeriGlide Bathtub Roll-In Conversion Kit changes your existing bath tub into a safety shower that can be used by both ambulatory users and wheelchair users. Our installers simply cut an opening into the front of your existing bathtub (you choose the size of the gap, from 24 to 32 inches), and replace the gap with a skid-free sloped threshold that meets ADA guidelines for rise and run, clearing elevations up to 4 inches. An inward-sloped threshold on the interior of the shower keeps water from leaking onto the floor during use. You'll also end up with more room inside the shower, as the conversion process expands the available floor space by 30%. The gently-sloping threshold is easy for mobility-impaired users to shuffle their feet over, as well as being easy for a shower wheelchair to traverse.
The AmeriGlide Shower Roll-In Conversion Kit takes about 2 hours to install, and is usable after 24 hours have passed. Please note that the retail price of this kit includes the cost of installation - currently, we do not offer DIY versions of the AmeriGlide Bathtub Roll-In Conversion Kit, so our installers will need to come to your home to perform the necessary alterations. This conversion kit is compatible with any kind of tub shell - even steel, cast iron, and fiberglass! We can also perform conversions on garden tubs and jacuzzi tubs! NOTE: Installing this kit on a cast-iron tub will incur a $75.00 upcharge.
