Question
I have a shower with ceramic tiles that slopes to the center where the drain is. The slope is about 2 inches. My mother uses a walker and must sit on a bench to shower. I there a shower floor mat that will last, prevent slip and diminish the sloping so my mother will not lose balance and fall? Thank You. P.S.-there is a bench seat built into the shower and I installed a longer hose so the shower head can hang on the wall in an Ondine Hi-Lo wall bar next to her and the water coming out of the shower head can be turned off and on by twisting the shower head.

Answer

Dear Mr. Foldy:

Thank you for your inquiry.  After some research, we were unable to find a product that we would consider safe and appropriate for the situation you have described.  We carry anti slip shower mats, but they are not thick enough to compensate for a 2 inch slope in the shower.

Good luck with your serach.
