When To Choose the Signature Shower Line
In this blog:
- Every Safe Step walk-in shower includes essential safety features and add-ons, while the Signature line has upgraded finishes, design flexibility and personalized details.
- Signature Showers are ideal for homeowners planning to age in place who want a bathroom that’s stylish today and functional for the future.
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, there’s a good chance you’re considering a walk-in shower. For many homeowners, the goal is to create a bathroom that’s safer and easier to use. Others are equally focused on updating the space with modern finishes and a more personalized design.
At first glance, it may seem like Safe Step’s Signature Shower and Walk-In Shower are two different products. In reality, the Signature Shower is a premium version of our walk-in shower. It includes many of the same accessibility features with upgraded finishes and premium hardware. Discover whether the Signature Shower is right for you.
Walk-In Showers vs. Signature Showers: What Do You Get?
Both the Safe Step Walk-In Shower and the Signature Shower line are designed to make showering easier and safer. Each includes features that support everyday convenience, including:
- A low-threshold entry
- Slip-resistant flooring
- Pressure-balancing valves
- Optional glass pivot doors
- Flexible seating choices
These two options differ in their level of customization.
If your primary goal is improving safety and ease of use, a standard walk-in shower may be all you need. If you’re planning ahead or simply want a shower that feels more tailored to your style, the Signature Shower line may be worth considering.
Choose Signature If You Love Great Design
For many homeowners, a bathroom remodel is about more than improving safety. It’s also an opportunity to create a space that’s better suited to their personal style.
Consider the Signature Shower line if your bathroom’s look and comfort are priorities. The Signature Shower line offers a more customized look with clean, modern styling and upgraded finishes. Each shower features Ferguson Signature Hardware, which is known for its contemporary designs and wide range of finish options. You can also choose to add distinctive tile accents and glass pivot doors to give the shower an elevated look.
Choose Signature If You’re Planning for the Future
Many seniors plan to age in place for as long as possible to trim long-term care costs and maintain their independence. To safely enjoy the comforts of home, it’s crucial to make a plan for the future. Your home needs to remain accessible, no matter how your mobility needs change.
One of the first rooms to tackle is often the bathroom. Slippery surfaces and small spaces make it particularly difficult to navigate.
You don’t have to choose between a stylish bathroom today and an accessible bathroom tomorrow. Safe Step’s Signature Showers come with many universal design features for people who want to plan for the future but may not need a helping hand in the bathroom yet, such as optional grab bars, flexible seating and built-in shelving. The foldable, medical-grade seat and ADA-compliant grab bars can be added later for extra support if your mobility needs change.
These universal design features also make bathrooms easier to use for guests, caregivers and anyone planning to remain in their home for many years.
Is a Signature Shower the Right Fit?
Are you still unsure if a Signature Shower is the best choice for your home? Here’s a checklist of an ideal customer.
✓ You’re remodeling your forever home
✓ You appreciate modern bathroom design
✓ You want premium finishes
✓ You want accessibility without a clinical appearance
✓ You’re investing in long-term home value
✓ You want a bathroom that reflects your personal style
Choose a Walk-In Shower if Safety is Your No. 1 Priority
If safety is your primary focus, a walk-in shower comes equipped with a variety of grab bars, as well as a foot spout for easy water temperature testing. The walk-in shower can also be outfitted with therapeutic features to soothe aches and pains associated with arthritis or stiffness.
Safe Step’s Hybrid Tub, which combines a walk-in tub with a shower, is another solution for people with mobility limitations who want a safe bathing solution and a shower.
How Much Does a Signature Shower Cost?
Upgrading your bathroom can enhance your home’s resale value. A midrange bathroom remodel has an average return on investment of 80 percent, according to The Journal of Light Construction.
Safe Step’s design consultants provide custom quotes for all of our premium products. Your total cost will depend on bathroom size, plumbing, materials and selected features. The Signature Shower line generally costs more because it includes additional customization, upgraded hardware and expanded finish options.
