ADA Shower Buying Guide
Expert Selection for Aging-in-Place & Accessible Bathrooms

Minimum 30" x 60" clear floor space for wheelchair access.
Controls
Offset controls on the side wall or near the seat.

Budget Choice
Sterling Accord Seated Shower Stall
Best for: Quick remodels and narrow spaces.
A durable Vikrell material shower with an integrated 17" high seat and aging-in-place backer boards for future grab bar installation.
Mid-Range ($800 - $2,500)
Popular Choice
Aquarius Roll-In ADA Shower Package
Best for: Comprehensive residential compliance.
Includes a pre-leveled base, factory-installed grab bars, and a padded fold-up seat. Often available in multi-piece configurations for easy transport through doorways.
High-End ($2,500 - $5,000)
Designer ADA
Kohler Choreograph Collection
Best for: Modern aesthetic and custom layouts.
Matte-finish walls that look like stone but are easy to clean. Features integrated joint systems and heavy-duty grab bars that blend seamlessly into the design.
Luxury ($5,000+)
PRO TIP: When shopping for ADA showers, look for "Barrier-Free" or "Roll-In" descriptions if you require wheelchair access. If you only need assistance with balance, "Seated" or "Low-Threshold" showers may be more cost-effective.
