Are Frost shower seats made in Canada?
Yes – every Frost shower seat (including popular models 972, 975, and others) is 100% designed and manufactured in Canada using premium Type 304 stainless steel and solid phenolic tops.
Do Frost shower seats meet ADA and Canadian accessibility requirements?
Yes. When installed at the correct height with proper structural backing, all Frost folding shower seats meet or exceed ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), CSA B651, and OBC accessibility standards for weight capacity, seat height, and clearances.
What is the weight capacity of Frost shower seats?
All models are engineered and tested to support a minimum of 450 lbs (204 kg) at the front edge when properly installed. The Model 975 reversible seat has been independently tested to hold over 1,000 lbs without failure.
What is the difference between Frost 972 and Frost 975?
- Frost 972: Compact 18″ wide fixed wall-mounted seat that flips straight up. Perfect for standard accessible stalls and smaller spaces.
- Frost 975: Larger 33″ wide retractable and fully reversible seat (left-hand to right-hand in minutes with a 10 mm ratchet). Ideal for roll-in showers and facilities needing maximum flexibility.
Are Frost shower seats phenolic or plastic?
They feature a solid one-piece white phenolic top (⅜″ thick on 972, ½″ thick on 975). Phenolic is far more durable, hygienic than plastic — it resists moisture, bacteria, and harsh cleaners.
How do I clean and maintain a Frost shower seat?
Simply wipe with mild soap and water or approved stainless steel cleaner. Never use bleach, acids, or chloride-based cleaners (toilet bowl cleaner, etc.) as they can damage the stainless steel over time.
Do Frost shower seats come with mounting hardware?
No. Concealed backing, anchor plates, and fasteners are supplied by the installer/contractor to suit the specific wall construction and local building codes. This ensures a lifetime-rated installation.
What is the warranty on Frost shower seats?
12 months from date of shipment against manufacturing defects (repair or replacement including freight when authorized). Normal wear and damage from improper installation or harsh chemicals are not covered.
Can I get replacement parts or phenolic tops?
Yes. Contact us at info@facilitysupplypro.com — we stock replacement phenolic tops, stainless steel components for all Frost shower seat models with fast shipping across Canada.
Do you ship Frost shower seats for free in Canada?

Warranty
Frost Products Ltd. offers comprehensive warranties for our commercial washroom products:
- General Warranty: All products are covered for 12 months from the date of shipment. Defective products or parts will be repaired or replaced at no charge, including freight costs, when authorized by Frost. Costs for installation or removal are not covered. Discoloration of stainless steel parts due to harsh environmental conditions or chemical exposure (e.g., bleach, acids) is not considered a defect and is not covered.
- Mirror Warranty: Frost mirrors, including vandal-resistant channel frame, frameless, and barrier-free tilt designs, are covered by the 12-month general warranty. Mirror glass, conforming to GS12GD5A type 1B, is guaranteed against silver spoilage for 10 years. Tempered mirrors may show slight distortion when viewed from a distance, which is not a defect. Damage from improper cleaning (e.g., using ammonia, vinegar, bleach, or solvents) is not covered. Use mild, non-ammonia-based cleaners with a damp cloth, avoiding direct spraying to prevent edge contamination.
- Hand Dryer Warranty: Frost hand dryers carry a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering the motor assembly and all working parts. Units must be kept free of excessive dirt, dust, or debris to maintain warranty validity. Failure to perform proper maintenance may void the warranty. For warranty claims, contact Frost Products Ltd. to obtain a Return Goods Authorization (RGA). Regular maintenance, such as wiping products with a damp cloth and using approved stainless steel cleaners, ensures optimal performance and preserves warranty coverage. Avoid harsh detergents or chemical cleaners on stainless steel surfaces.
