Roman Access: Inclusive and Easy Access Shower Enclosures

Creating a bathroom that is comfortable, practical and accessible is an important consideration for many households. The Roman Access Collection has been specifically designed to provide inclusive showering solutions for people who require easier access, greater space or additional flexibility when entering and using a shower.

The collection includes a choice of accessible shower enclosures and wetroom panels, allowing you to create a showering space that suits the layout of your bathroom and the needs of the user. With options including wide-opening sliding doors, pivoting wetroom panels and folding wetroom panels, Roman Access offers practical solutions for both new bathroom installations and accessible bathroom adaptations.

Easy access shower enclosures designed around the user

The Roman Access 3 Panel Sliding Door is designed to provide a particularly generous entrance into the showering area. Its three panels move together in a synchronised sliding action, creating a wide opening without the need for a conventional bottom rail or threshold. The 1200mm version provides an opening of 671mm, offering easy access where a wider entrance is required.

For a more open wetroom-style design, the Roman Access Pivoting Wetroom Panel features a frameless design and 180° pivoting action. This allows the panel to be moved to suit the available space and provides flexibility when creating an inclusive showering area.

The Roman Access Folding Wetroom Panels provide another flexible option for accessible showering. The panels pivot outwards and fold back towards the wall, creating a large and open entrance to the shower area. Their frameless appearance and lack of a bottom rail help to create a clean, contemporary design with level access entry.

Creating an accessible bathroom with Roman Access

When planning an accessible shower, the design of the complete bathroom is important. The available space, position of the shower, access requirements and choice of shower tray or wetroom system should all be considered before installation.

Depending on the product selected, Roman Access solutions can be used to help create a more open and accessible showering space. The collection can be particularly suitable for bathrooms where easy access, wider openings and reduced barriers to entry are important considerations.

Roman Access products are designed to combine practical accessibility with the clean, contemporary appearance expected from a modern bathroom. This means that an accessible shower does not have to look clinical or compromise the overall design of the room.

The suitability of a particular product will depend on the requirements of the user, the available space and the complete installation.

Do Roman Access products provide level access?

Some Roman Access designs are specifically intended to create level access entry by eliminating a bottom rail or threshold. The exact installation method depends on the product selected and the wider shower system being used. Your installer should confirm the suitability of the chosen product for your bathroom.

Are Roman Access wetroom panels suitable for corner installations?

Some Roman Access wetroom panel configurations can be used in corner installations. The exact requirements depend on the product and installation configuration, so it is important to check the manufacturer's installation guidance and consult a suitably qualified installer.

Can Roman Access products be installed on a shower tray?

The installation requirements vary between products. For example, the Roman Access Folding Wetroom Panels are designed for different installation configurations, and the corner version is intended to be installed directly to the floor using the Roman Shield Wetroom System rather than on a shower tray. Always check the specific product information and installation requirements before purchasing.

Is Roman Access suitable for a bathroom adaptation?

Roman Access can be an excellent option when creating a more accessible or inclusive bathroom. Its wide-opening and open-entry designs can help improve access to the showering area. However, the best product will depend on the user's individual requirements, the available space and the overall bathroom design.

How do I choose the right Roman Access shower enclosure?

Consider the available width and depth, the type of access required, whether the shower will be installed in a corner or another configuration, and whether you require a sliding door or open wetroom-style panel. If you are unsure which solution is best, speak to a bathroom specialist or installer before ordering.

Do Roman Access products require professional installation?

Professional installation is recommended, particularly where the shower forms part of an accessible bathroom or wetroom. Correct installation is important for ensuring the showering area is suitable for the intended use and that the appropriate waterproofing, drainage and access requirements are met.
