WATER DAM
The Barrier Free Water Dam is designed
to allow wheelchairs and rolling shower chairs easy access to the shower area. The durable soft vinyl dam is flexible for
wheelchairs to roll over easily and then return to an upright position.
The base of the Water Dam is constructed
of solid Aluminum for long lasting durability in both Residential and Commercial applications.
The Barrier Free Water Dam can be used
with a shower curtain to keep the water in the bathing area and the rest of your bathroom safe and dry.

be replaced by sliding the dam along its channel. The aluminum Barrier Free Water Dam is available in Chrome finish.
The soft vinyl dam returns to the original
upright position after wheels roll over.
