Impey Showers has unveiled its latest showering technology for those with mobility issues. Its Impey Freedom air-assisted doors incorporate a ‘unique’ air-assisted spring mechanism that lifts the doors clear off the ground at the press of a lever.
The door can be secured by gently pressing down on the handgrip, and the specially designed floor seal creates a completely watertight seal. The ‘durable and strong’ doors have a lightweight, powder-coated frame and anti-shatter PETG panels, and are covered by a lifetime guarantee, while the spring mechanism is ‘maintenance-free’. Impey Showers’ technical manager, Shaun Hunt, said: “Opening and closing conventional shower doors can be difficult, as the rubber floor seal can drag and wear badly. Unless the door is manually lifted clear of the floor, some users – and especially those in a wheelchair, the frail, and the elderly – may experience difficulty. We wanted to overcome this obstacle.”
