Collapsible Water Restraint

Collapsible Water Dam keeps water inside your curbless shower!

Barrier-free shower stalls, or curbless shower pans, are easier for people who use wheel chairs and for people with limited mobility. No steps to maneuver over. Unfortunately, if the drainage angle is not right or the water is not draining as quickly as it should, water could spill out onto the bathroom floor. Not only is it messy, it's also a safety hazard.

A Collapsible Water Restraint (also called a water dam) is designed to allow wheelchairs and rolling shower chairs unrestricted access to the shower. Made of a heavy duty foam, the Water Restraint collapses when it is stepped on or rolled over. When the pressure is removed, the foam returns to its original shape - and it will return to that shape every time.

Installing the 1" high water restraint is simple. The self-adhesive, water resistant tape on the bottom ensures a secure seal. Cut the strip to the length you need, seal the ends with caulk and let everything dry.

This style of Water Dam is designed to run along the floor, and is not intended to curve up the side walls. When it compresses, the material displaces, making curves difficult. If you need it to go up the side, we recommend cutting the material at a miter angle, much like a picture framer would, so that the edges line up nicely when they are perpendicular. (See the "Compatibility" tab for details.)

The bone colored Collapsible Water Restraint resists stains, mold and bacteria. Add one to the floor of your roll-in shower and enjoy the ease and convenience that it offers, without the mess of water outside the shower pan.

This style of Water Dam is designed to run along the floor, and is not intended to curve up the side walls.

When it compresses, the material displaces, making installation on curved walls difficult. If you need it to go up the side of the shower, we recommend cutting the material at a miter angle, much like a picture framer would, so that the edges line up nicely when they are perpendicular. Then caulk the edges where they meet.

This material differs from our other Collapsible Water Dam (Item # DL60755), which is whiter and compresses more like memory foam to handle curved areas better. Click here to learn more about this item.
