Ability NI’s editor, Laura Dunlop covers our vast range of products which enhance independent living and mobility solutions.  She furthermore discusses our first class bathroom surveying and installation service.  This is a great benefit to people who are unsure of how to go about converting their bathroom into an accessible, yet stylish new bathroom.  We can assist you with all your queries including which shower tray to go for, how much space will you have for a level access shower or wet room, what configuration of half-height shower doors would be most suited to your needs, and so forth. 

Our dedicated team of contractors can call out to your home free of charge and carry out a comprehensive bathroom survey.  We will talk you through your range of options and can provide a full quotation for supply only or supply and installation.  We offer an after sales service on all our products, meaning our team is on hand to carry out repairs and maintenance within 24 hrs.

Our New Cleanse Half-Height Shower Doors!!!

Disability Needs are proud to announce the launch of our brand new Cleanse half-height shower doors!!

The new Cleanse shower door design is a far more superior, contemporary, and robust design compared to the old dated model.  Technically and aesthetically, the Cleanse shower doors are one of the leading shower door designs in the healthcare market today. 

We have updated many of the key features of the Cleanse shower doors including a tighter and more contemporary locking handle, a thicker water tight door seal, raindrop effect glazing and a soft grey and white finish on the doors and hinges to aid those with visual impairments.  The 180° rise and fall hinges allow for easy maneuvering of the doors, aiding both the end user and carer.  The Cleanse door’s sturdy aluminum construction ensures that they can endure everyday wear and tear and will not damage easily, giving the user a peace of mind. 

Our new Cleanse half-height shower doors can be made client specific with only a few days lead time!!

Please feel free to contact our expertise Sales team to discuss the various door configurations available to suit you or your client’s requirements.
