Whether you are retrofitting existing commercial showers or selecting bathroom products for a new building, finding the right shower bases for your facility can be challenging. Durability, accessibility and ease of cleaning are some key factors to consider when researching commercial shower bases. Below are five steps to take when selecting the right commercial shower bases for your facility.
1. Find the Best Material
Material is one of the first factors to research when selecting shower bases for your facility. Using a material that is aesthetically pleasing while also durable will keep your facility looking nice for years to come.
Meridian Solid Surface® is a renewable material that can handle even the toughest wear and tear. If it becomes scratched, simply buff out the imperfections with light sanding, and it will look as good as new. This is the perfect solution for residence halls or government housing where showers are in use frequently.
The timeless design of Meridian Solid Surface® means your facility’s showers will last for years without appearing dated or worn, which saves money on frequent updates. Our products are also backed by our 15-year commercial warranty, so you can install with confidence.
2. Focus on Safety
Safety is a paramount concern for commercial showers. Taking necessary precautions to prevent falls by shower users can help protect your facility and your patrons. Meridian Solid Surface® shower bases feature a textured floor that is resistant to slipping. These shower bases also have a tapered design to channel water toward the drain instead of standing in the base. Removing water as quickly as possible is a key feature of our shower bases to promote safety. When safety is on the line, go the extra mile to help prevent falls in the shower by opting for bases that provide stability, even when wet.
3. Accessibility Options
Keep your facility accessible to all with ADA-compliant shower bases. Our ADA-compliant shower bases do not have a troublesome lip that prohibits entry. These shower bases promote easy walk-in or roll-in access, and they have the same non-slip texture as our other bases to add another level of safety. For healthcare facilities, hospitals, residence halls, and other locations where accessibility is paramount, select ADA-compliant shower bases.
4. Consider Cleanliness
When your facility sees heavy shower use, cleanliness is important. Showers can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew, creating serious health risks for your facility. Other materials can trap moisture, but Meridian Solid Surface® is non-porous, so bacteria, mildew and mold have no place to take hold. With no grout lines, our seamless shower bases are easier to clean and maintain compared to other materials. Keep your showers free from bacteria and mold with Meridian Solid Surface® shower bases.
5. Material Color Options
Not only are you considering the functionality of shower bases, but you also want the material color to integrate seamlessly into the existing design. Meridian Solid Surface® shower bases can match the design of any facility. From classic shades of white and beige to neutral grays and tans, there is an option to fit your project. Choose from solid or granite finishes for a design that aligns perfectly with your facility. Whether you need a clean look for a healthcare facility or a comfortable appearance in a residence hall, Meridian Solid Surface® shower bases can be customized to meet your needs.
