| Article | Tile Redi, manufacturer and marketer of one-piece, leak-proof shower pans which once installed, can immediately accept ceramic tile or natural stone installed right to their surfaces, has brought to market a line of “barrier-free” products which not only make entering the shower an easier procedure. They also minimize potential accidents. “It’s tough enough for anyone to step over a bathtub wall when getting into the shower,” stated Farrell Gerber, Tile Redi Executive VP, Sales. “Imagine how difficult it is for a disabled person to do that? And, accidents can even happen with people walking into a non-bathtub shower, and tripping over the raised entryway “lip,” which is positioned to keep water from leaving the shower’s base and wafting over onto the bathroom floor” Tile Redi’s barrier-free shower pans are produced so that there is no raised “wall” as one enters the shower. Rather, the one-piece unit is slightly pitched so that all water, upon hitting the shower’s floor, instantly runs downward to the drain. This eliminates water running over onto the bathroom floor, minimizes ponding in the shower and ultimately, cuts down on users slipping and hence experiencing potential injury. Additionally, Tile-Redi barrier-free shower pans allow for those who must enter the shower on a wheelchair, the freedom to simply wheel into the shower without any kind of raised area that could inhibit their entrance Tile Redi patented and UL-listed shower pans are manufactured as pre-formed, one-piece molded shower modules. Complete with fully integrated drains, curbs and splash walls, each leak-proof unit is pre-pitched for easy drainage. By solving water intrusion problems, Tile Redi shower pans inhibit the growth of mold and mildew.
