(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 21, 2007 ) Kelowna, BC - Aquassure Bath Products Inc. is proud to announce that they are sponsoring the Homes for All Ages Conference this coming October in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Aquassure will have one of their accessible bathtubs on display at the conference. Dr. Alan Jenks, Aquassure’s commercial sales manager will be onsite to answer questions about our bathtub. The Homes for All Ages Conference is put on by the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) in conjunction with the Universal Design Alliance (UDA). The conference will be held at the Marquette Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 12 & 13, 2007. A cross-disciplinary panel of experts will share their insights on one of the fastest growing areas of residential design today—creating functional and adaptable spaces for independent living. For more information on the conference, go to the ASID website at http://www.asid.org. “Great design is all about accessibility. As a doctor, looking for ways to make it easy for people to have access is becoming more important. I love what we have done at Aquassure Bath Products. We created a soaker tub for people to relax while keeping accessibility and universal design as a major focus,” says Dr. Alan Jenks, Commercial Sales Manager.Aquassure Bath Products was founded in 2002 by Matthew Longman and Shari McDowell. After six years of development, and expert input, their bathtubs were commercialized earlier this year. In 2004, Aquassure Bath Products Inc placed third in the New Ventures BC Competition. Aquassure’s accessible bathtubs have a unique, patented sliding door that enables accessibility from wheelchairs, lifts and walkers. Entry and exit is similar to getting in and out of bed. Their universal design bathtubs are easier and more accessible to use, and offer a better bathing experience than walk-in style tubs.
