Although perhaps not fully disabled or wheelchair bound, for many of us, there can still comes a time in life when the simple act of taking a shower, becomes more of a challenge with each passing day. Often, just a bit more space or easier entry, could make all the difference in turning what may be a daily struggle, into more of a pleasurable experience again.

The models featured in this Easy Access section, provide either extra width; low step entry or a combination of both. For those perhaps with back, leg or hip issues, these particular Steam Showers and Shower Cabins, may indeed fulfil your mobility shower requirements and at the same time, still provide you with all the latest cutting-edge designs and great features.  

For those with more chronic illnesses or disabilities, the known medical and stress relieving power of hydrotherapy means there is also the possibility that such a purchase could be supplied free of VAT. To see if you qualify, please Click Here and if this should be the case, alongside the payment details of each model below, you'll find a link to how you can make such a VAT exempt purchase.

Having mentioned all this above, it could well be you're fit, young and simply desire a larger or low step shower unit for yourselves or family use. Whilst some of these shower models you'll find elsewhere on our website, here in this section, they can all be viewed and compared all in the one place.

Please Note: A fully comprehensive installation guide comes with your purchase, but here are a couple of main points regarding electrics and water.

Electrical Details: All steam shower cabins require a 13amp electrical supply feed. The shower units already come with a 13 amp plug and an RCD [Residual Current Device] fitted. We do however recommend, that you remove the plug and instead, have the cabin connected directly to a fused spur. Should an RCD be already fitted to your electrical mains board, this can also be used and the RCD fitted to the unit, may be removed too.

Plumbing Details: The steam shower cabins require a 1 x hot and a 1 x cold water supply feed. The required water pipes, should be installed and fed to a position that is approximately 1 metre off the floor in the corner or central position of the room, where the cabin is to be fitted. Balanced water pressure is required above 2 bar. Should you have a Combi Boiler, you will not need a pump but you will require to have a Pressure Equalising Valve [PEV] fitted, to maintain balanced pressure to both the hot and cold supply at all times.

If your water supply uses a gravity fed system, it is recommended you fit a pump to provide the required water pressure for the shower cabin. Should the main water tank in your property, be situated above the proposed shower head position, then a Positive Head pump will suffice. In circumstances where the shower head is positioned above the main water tank, a Negative Head pump will be needed. Where a pump is being fitted, you will not require a Pressure Equalising Valve, as the pump will keep the pressure balanced on gravity fed systems.

Where an unvented hot water cylinder system like a Mega Flow is installed, these will produce sufficient balanced pressure for our showers to operate efficiently. Other types or brands of unvented hot water cylinders may vary, so it is advisable to check with the individual manufacturers or suppliers. In rare situations where the distance between the hot water cylinder and shower is extreme, i.e. cylinder on the ground floor, shower on the 5th floor, there may be a pressure issue so again, do check this with your installer or manufacturer. This information is for guidance only so in all cases, please confirm your plumbing requirements with your fitter. 

Browne's Health can supply a Salamander Shower Pump [Positive Head] and a Pressure Equalising Valve but do not supply other plumbing materials. The steam shower cabins are freestanding units and accordingly, we suggest that your fitter does not install the shower unit into a position where this cannot be moved away from the wall if required. The couplings on the shower cabin that connects this to your water supply, are standard 15mm compression fittings.

General: Also keep in mind that the shower unit is delivered in several large boxes, so please ensure you have enough space to manoeuvre these and the contents, to the installation location. Note as well, that space is required to assemble the steam shower cabin and this needs to be sufficient to allow your installer to work around the assembled shower unit, before placing in the final position.

For your peace of mind....as a direct sales company, we feel it is important when selling via the internet to make things clear and we also realise the importance of providing not only quality products at great prices, but also the need for back up, plus support for parts and customer queries too.

With the shower cabins, Smart Price Warehouse are officially appointed resellers for the sole UK distributors of the ranges of units we sell and as such, are fully able to provide Customer Support for the products and spare parts too. Our distributors also work with the manufacturers, to improve the products we sell and ensure they meet the standards that we and our customers expect.

GLASS: All the Shower cabins we supply have tempered safety glass of between 5-6mm. The back panels of the cabins are made of mirrored tempered glass, so you do not need to tile behind the cabin.  FRAMES: The frames are made of 1.2mm aluminium, thus offering good structural support and stability. The cabins are designed to be free standing and to enable easy servicing should the need arise.  TUB/BASE:EEA - All bases in the cabins are fitted with a fully supporting framework bonded to the tub, which affords a stable footing and assists in offering overall structural stability.

THERMOSTATIC VALVE: All units have thermostatic valves - this enables you to mix the water temperature to your requirements, with a safety device built in to allow water up to 38 degrees only. CERTIFICATION: CE, RoHS industries approvals. The steam generator and pump we use pass TUV approval and the pumps also pass UL approval

Once your order has been received and processed, we will contact you within 24 hours by telephone, to arrange a convenient delivery day and to confirm the delivery address with you. Currently, this unit comes in 3 separate packages and this is supplied on a palette and will arrive on a tail-lift lorry.

When confirming delivery, we request that you inform us of any further restrictions, that could effect a delivery to your location where perhaps a smaller vehicle would be more suited.
