Raising The Bar, err, The Wall

01-kohler-elevanceLike the idea of walk-in bath tub but hate the look? Fret no more! Kohler has raised the bar (so to speak) for accessible bathing with their Elevance™ rising wall bath.

It’s designed so that you can easily sit down as soon as you enter the bath. It has a chair height seat, integrated grab bar – making it easy to get in and out of from a standing position, chair or wheelchair positions.

The rising wall needs less than five pounds of force to raise and lower, the built-in foot well makes it easy to test the water temperature as well as lets your body recline – minimizing the pressure on your back and knees.
