This page is dedicated to the Thomason family

and their very special son, Shawn.

Recently, we were approached by Mr. and Mrs. Thomason for an estimate on a shower enclosure for their new house. Mr. Thomason is serving in the military and he was scheduled to return to Afghanistan soon for another year of duty, so they needed to decide if they could afford it before he left. We also learned the Thomason’s had 4 children to include a son named Shawn with special needs. Shawn has spina bifida and requires the use of a wheelchair. The Thomason’s built their new home with the needs of Shawn in mind to include: wider doors and hallways, a handicap ramp, and a large shower with a bench.

As we learned of the shower configuration and the special needs of Shawn, we understood that a custom designed shower enclosure would be required, which would be a considerable expense.

We at Truly Frameless® of Winchester strongly support the men and women of our armed services. We have also been blessed with continued customer support and growth through these tough economic times. So without hesitation, we decided to donate as much of the shower enclosure as possible, because we felt the Thomason’s both deserved and needed to have the strongest enclosure possible for Shawn.

Below is a picture of the finished shower enclosure. In addition to our proprietary embedment system providing the strongest enclosure possible, it was built using 1/2” tempered glass for strength, a 36” wide ADA compliant door, and an additional handle set at the proper height for easier ingress and egress. The 1/2” satin etched return panel was used for privacy because there are no doorways into the bathroom area for wheelchair access.

We were honored to have been a part of this project. Even with our donation of all labor involved in the project, this enclosure was only possible with the generous donations provided by our suppliers.
