2 SHOWERS ARE MULTI-GEN FRIENDLY. In designing a bathroom that is truly multi-generational, or universally user-friendly, showers emerge as the unsung hero of this endeavor, providing an attractive, versatile and functional solution to the challenge. Showers are multi-gen design-friendly for 3 reasons: Transfer Ease high. Showers are easier to enter and exit than tubs. Transfer Time low. Because entrance and exit are easier, transfer time is less. Resting Ease high. Showers offer seating options MTI has a large assortment of sizes of low-profile multiplethreshold shower bases. The threshold height is a mere 2-1/2 to 3, which makes access very easy for all. Available TM in both acrylic and Engineered Solid Stone, the multiplethreshold feature provides great design and installation flexibility for bathroom integration. MTSB-6036Seated acrylic shower base, shown above, has a low threshold height for easy access, and the integrated seat is a convenient feature for household members of various ages. Additional sizes are available ranging from 48 x 32 up to 60 x 48. MTI HAS THE RIGHT PRODUCTS. Multi-Generational Design is a design approach which addresses and accommodates the needs and abilities of people of all ages. Also referred to as Universal Design, this approach applies to the design of a living space as well as the products within it. Multi-Gen Design combines safety and comfort with style and beauty to create an end product that is attractive, versatile and practical. The principles of Multi-Generational Design are especially applicable in the bathroom, a space that even the most able-bodied person can find difficult to navigate at times. Moreover, Universal Design in bathrooms is extremely important because of the vital role that the power of water plays in our lives. Bathing is a daily necessity and a critical element in maintaining the health, wellness and appearance of all household members. With multi-generational households accounting for 12% of the U.S. population in 1980, and soaring to more than 16% by 2012, it is no wonder that Multi-Gen Design has become such a significant and prominent trend. Concealed Drain Base Low-profile multiple-threshold bases with concealed drain are available in acrylic, as shown to the left, and Engineered Solid Stone at top left. Multiple-Threshold Low-profile multiple-threshold bases in acrylic, as shown at left and below, are available with center and end drains. Smart design has always been a hallmark of MTI. Recognized with many awards for design excellence and a number of patents, MTI products exhibit designs with purpose, with a focus on the individual user, thereby making many MTI products a natural fit for multi-generational households. While style is important, the design must simultaneously be thoughtful, not allowing versatility and functionality to be sacrificed. Go to mtibaths.com to see the complete line of shower bases.

3 COMPLEMENTING TEAK PRODUCTS FACILITATE ACCESSIBILITY. Two styles of teak shower seats are available, designed to be mounted inside or outside the shower. Teak is one of the world s most valuable hardwoods. Used in shipbuilding for centuries, it contains a natural oil to retard water and keep the wood from warping, cracking or becoming brittle. Teak wood also has the natural ability to ward-off fungi, mold and mildew, making it an ideal choice for the moist, wet environment of the bathroom. MTI genuine teak products are manufactured using only 100% U.S.- certified, legal, reclaimed, sustainable teak. IF A ZERO-BARRIER SHOWER ENTRANCE IS REQUIRED, MTI OFFERS TWO SOLUTIONS. Shower Seat TK-SSEAT2416 measures 24 wide Shown here is the MTSB-6032BF base with white powder coated drain grate. Other sizes also available are 60 x 36, 63 x 32 and 63 x 36. A seated model is also available in sizes 60 x 30 and 60 x 32. MTI s Barrier-Free Base: Made specifically for easy seamless transfer from bathroom space to shower. Constructed of durable Lucite cross-linked cast acrylic for long life and easy maintenance. Front threshold is a mere 1-3/4 high, which is designed to be recessed in the floor, creating a flat transfer surface between bathroom floor and shower floor. Slip-resistant textured bottom. Special drain design with stainless steel or white powder coated drain grate efficiently drains water to center.

Benefits of genuine teak shower trays from MTI: Functional and also enhance the aesthetics of the bathroom. Contribute to a spa-like environment.

4 MTI S HIGH QUALITY, VERSATILE SHOWE ENCLOSURES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A MULTI-GEN SHOWER SPACE. Shown above is the MTSB-7236MT low-profile multiple-threshold shower base constructed of acrylic. The Shower Shield contains the shower water and offers clean looks and ample accessibility. Shown above is the MTSB-7242MT low-profile multiple-threshold acrylic shower base recessed into the floor, teak shower tray and 2-sided glass enclosure. IF A TUB IS NEEDED, MTI IS THE COMPREHENSIVE SOURCE. Shower bases are certainly universal design-friendly because they accommodate a wide range of ages and needs. They are also versatile because entry and exit are quick and easy. Select Shower Shield or full shower enclosure. All MTI enclosures feature a true frameless design and no old-fashioned headers for a clean, uncluttered appearance as well as convenient entry and exit, even for tall persons. Glass doors and panels are constructed of substantially-thick tempered safety glass. For strength and durability, hardware attaches through the glass to ensure security and long-term proper alignment. MTI s multiple-threshold bases can be equipped with one or more sides of glass, providing ample room and a wonderful feeling of open spaciousness. Shown above to the left is the Shower Shield. Pivoting panel opens outward a full 180 for easy access and inward 20 to contain water. If a wider entrance is required, the full enclosure at top right can be selected. Shown in 2-sided glass version, it features sliding glass doors that glide effortlessly with rollers along an overhead stainless steel rail to provide easy, wide entrance to the shower. The Shower Shield uses solid brass square hinges that mount though the glass for long-term durability and alignment. The full enclosures use solid stainless steel rollers that travel on a solid stainless steel bar. However, there are therapies and benefits only available in tubs. Such as a soaking bath that promotes relaxation through the warmth and buoyancy of the water. Or the light full-body massage of an air bath. Or the deep-tissue massage of a whirlpool. MTI has over 150 available tub models in all sizes, shapes and styles, combining great design with comfort and practicality. If specific requirements call for a very shallow tub, MTI has over 20 models that are only 19 high or less, making entry and exit more user-friendly and a little less challenging. Three particularly beautiful and clever tub models are perfect for universal design situations: the Metro 1, 2 and 3. The Metros exhibit clean, contemporary design and feature a generously wide front deck of 11. The wide ledge serves as a convenient transfer surface. The bather can sit down on the ledge and then turn into the tub instead of climbing over the tub wall. The functionality of the wide deck feature is further extended when a Metro model is installed with an available coordinating contemporary tub surround that has been designed just for that model. This handcrafted furniture piece complements the tub and provides additional storage and decorative display space recessed in front beneath the wide deck area. Transitional and traditional tub surrounds are also available for integration with varying decors. Matching vanities are available in a variety of sizes to complete the ensemble.
