Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wall-mounted shower seat?
A fold-down seat fixed to the wall in the shower area. Pull down when needed, fold up when not. Secure, sturdy, takes your weight safely.
Will it hold my weight?
Yes - properly installed seats hold well over average body weight. We fix into wall studs or use proper fixings. Tested before we leave.
What about tiles?
We drill through tiles carefully. Proper technique means no cracking. Sealed around fixings to prevent water ingress.
Is this better than a stool?
Wall-mounted is more secure - can't slip or move. But stools are an option if wall mounting isn't possible. We advise what's best.
