The global population is rapidly aging and designers are increasingly considering how their products will be used by elderly and less able-bodied customers. Merlyn Showering has developed its collection of shower enclosures to include innovative models that combine accessibility with style.

Merlyn Showering has introduced features that make its showering products more inclusive.

Merlyn's Series 6 bifold door (top image) is a practical space saving and safety-conscious design. An outside handle allows the door to be opened from the outside in the case of an accident or fall. Sizes start from 700mm so the door can fit conveniently into a corner or small recess.

The single entry Shower Panel from the Glass by Merlyn Collection allows wheelchair access and a seat for added comfort. Height is a generous 2015 mm and the glass is a toughened 10mm.

Finally the UV Hinge Door with 2 Inline panels and UVB Side Panel from the Glass by Merlyn Collection has been adapted for the accessible market with a comfortable seat and polished chrome grab rail. It has a height of 2015 mm and features 10 mm toughened glass. Other combinations of doors and panels are available.

All shower enclosures are fitted with patented Mershield StayClear protective coating which keeps the toughened glass cleaner and shinier for longer. The fittings are finished in polished true chrome.
