Roll-In vs. Transfer Showers: What Should a Commercial Project Specify?
TL;DR
A roll-in shower and a transfer shower solve different accessibility needs. Under the 2010 ADA Standards, a transfer-type compartment is built around transferring to a shower seat, while a roll-in configuration provides a larger opening and space intended for wheeled entry.
- Start with the governing accessibility requirement and intended user approach, not the product name.
- Transfer-type and roll-in showers have different compartment dimensions, clearances, seat, grab-bar, control, and entry requirements.
- Select the EverFab model only after the project team confirms the applicable code, configuration, accessories, and current model documentation.
