When it comes to the elderly and the disabled, one of the things that causes the most trouble is manoeuvering around the bathroom. This is especially true when entering and exiting the bathtub. That is where disabled steps really come in handy. In addition to the bathroom, these types of steps can also be used for other tasks around the home such as getting into bed or reaching high cabinets in the kitchen.
Single Bath Step
A single bath step features a reversible design so that you can create a 100 millimetre step or turn it over for a 150 millimetre step. These disabled steps are durable yet lightweight and has non-slip pads for added safety.
Two Step Bath Step
The two step bath step features a large surface area for added room and comfort. This type of bath step is actually one step that comes with a 100 millimetre raise. The raise allows you to use them as two individual steps or put one on top of the other for a higher step. The steps feature a foam pad for warmth and softness.
Easy Step
Easy steps are made from durable fibreglass with your choice of carpeting or rubber tread on the surface. You also can choose from various heights such as 50 millimetres, 100 millimetres or 150 millimetres.
Step Stool with Handrail
Step stools with handrails are a type of stool that is constructed from chrome plated steel frames and contain a step with a rubber mat that is non-slip. It also has four legs for added sturdiness and these legs each have rubber bottoms to provide added grip on bathroom floors that may be slippery. The added handrail provides extra security whether getting in and out of the bathtub or to hold on to when reaching something from a kitchen cabinet.
Step Stool without Handrail
If you do not need the handrail, you can choose the step stool without it. The frame is constructed from chrome plated steel and features a rubber mat with non-slip surface. Its four legs give the step added balance while featuring rubberised bottoms that provide additional grip on slippery floors.
Metal Half Step
Metal half steps are completely crafted with durable aluminium. These are ideal for using where a step may be too high to do in one go. These steps feature nylon feet that are adjustable so that it provides a safe level surface for stepping on or stepping off. There is even a larger version of metal half step where there is enough room for a person using a walking cane.
Plastic Half Step
These disabled steps are the plastic version of the metal half step. They are designed for those who do not have the ability to lift their legs very high and therefore may have a tough time with a normal, everyday step. The platform is large enough so that the person has the ability to steady themselves prior to attempting the step. The plastic used for the plastic half step is durable and heavy duty as well as rust resistant.
