The TZ3260 is sized 60 inches by 32 inches and is ideal for retrofit installation for clients who desire a barrier-free entry to their shower to reduce the risk of slips or falls.

"With its graceful design, tasteful lines and luxurious appointments, our Zero Threshold (TZ3260) Shower Base provides an elegant barrier-free option for individuals as they adapt their homes," said Jason International President Remo Jacuzzi.

The TZ3260 has a high-strength, stainless steel linear drain recessed into the front of the base to provide easy access. The shower floor features slip-resistant texture. The integral seat provides a comfortable seat from which to enjoy the flow. The unit is designed to accommodate a high flow of water through a standard 2-inch connection. And a built-in tile lip assures a watertight installation.

The TZ3260 comes standard with Jason's patented level-form™ base that reduces installation time and expense. The TZ3260 may be ordered with a right-hand or left-hand seat or without a seat.

About 35 million Americans today are age 65 or older. The first of America's 77 million Baby Boomers turned 65 at the beginning of 2011. Jason International is pleased to add the TZ3260 shower base to its portfolio of aging-in-place products as the number of Americans living active lifestyles well past traditional retirement age continues to rise.
