WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT KR SPECIALITES
“I recommend the KR Specialties collapsible water dams and weighted shower curtains to several of our clients. KR Specialties products work great in controlling the water on all types/brands of roll-in showers. I highly recommend them to facility owners and operators having water control issues at their showers”.
“In 2002 there was no sensible solution to water escaping barrier-free showers. ABG and others in the bathware industry were seeking a functional and effective solution to enhance our curb-less barrier-free showers. Kevin and his team introduced quality water retention products that have proven to ABG and it’s customer base for two decades that they are consistent and reliable as the company that created them. KR specialties products are highly recommended and have been an effective industry wide solution”.
“We have ordered numerous collapsible water dams. This works great for our facilities. We have 200 plus units of assisted living and memory support between 2 properties, and installed them in every unit. This assures the safety of our residents and prevents water from spilling on to restroom floor. Great company and always responsive!”
