The main structural features of American-style acrylic shower base (Shower Base/ Shower Pan) with seat include:
Integrated seat design: This is its distinctive feature. The integrated seat is usually located on one side of the shower basin, providing additional convenience and comfort. It is especially suitable for the elderly, people with limited mobility, or users who need to sit and bathe.
Acrylic material structure: The whole body is made of high-quality acrylic material, which has strong impact resistance and durability. The surface is smooth, warm and easy to clean. The interior is usually reinforced to ensure overall structural stability and safety.
Anti-slip bottom design: In order to improve safety during showering, the surface of the shower bottom basin is usually designed with anti-slip texture to reduce the risk of slipping and provide extra protection especially when sitting or standing up.
Drainage system: Usually equipped with one or more drains to ensure that shower water can drain quickly and keep the basin dry. American designs may include different layouts such as central drainage or side drainage to suit different installation environments.
Reinforced support structures: Seat and basin sections often have additional support structures, such as reinforced frames or internal supports, to ensure load-bearing capacity and durability. The seat part is designed to bear a certain amount of human body load.
Edge water-retaining design: Most acrylic shower bases with seats will have a certain height of edge water-retaining design around them to prevent water from overflowing and guide water toward the drain, keeping the outside of the bathroom clean.
Low Rim or Accessible Entry: Many American shower bases feature a low rim or accessible entry for easy entry and exit. Such a structure is particularly suitable for barrier-free bathroom environments, meeting the needs of the elderly and wheelchair users.
Modular design: Some American-style acrylic shower bases may be used with wall panels and other accessories to form a complete shower system, which is easy to install and disassemble, and it is also easier to customize different styles of bathroom decoration.
These structural features make the American-style acrylic shower base with seat not only highly practical, but also improve the user’s comfort and safety.
