Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a shower chair and a transfer bench?
A shower chair sits entirely inside the shower for users who need to sit while bathing. A transfer bench straddles the tub wall with half inside and half outside — designed for users who cannot step over the tub edge at all.
Do bath safety products require installation?
Most bath safety accessories (shower chairs, transfer benches, bath mats) require no installation — they sit on the floor or hang on the tub edge. Grab bars do require installation into wall studs or with rated anchors.
