Question
I am looking for a paper/fabric with specific requirements for a project I am working on. The paper needs to be tear resistant, provide a moisture barrier, and be durable enough to have elastic sewn into it. Would any of the stretcher sheets fit this criteria? I would appreciate any suggestions you could provide. Thank you.

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.  Stretcher sheets are made of a combination of tissue and poly material that makes them strong and moisture resistant.  However, please keep in mind that strectcher sheets are made to be disposable.  You can take a look at the following product options that we currently carry:

• Disposable Stretcher Sheets Tissue/Poly, blue
  40 x 72

Question
I have a shower with ceramic tiles that slopes to the center where the drain is. The slope is about 2 inches. My mother uses a walker and must sit on a bench to shower. I there a shower floor mat that will last, prevent slip and diminish the sloping so my mother will not lose balance and fall? Thank You. P.S.-there is a bench seat built into the shower and I installed a longer hose so the shower head can hang on the wall in an Ondine Hi-Lo wall bar next to her and the water coming out of the shower head can be turned off and on by twisting the shower head.

Answer

Dear Mr. Foldy:

Thank you for your inquiry.  After some research, we were unable to find a product that we would consider safe and appropriate for the situation you have described.  We carry anti slip shower mats, but they are not thick enough to compensate for a 2 inch slope in the shower.

Good luck with your serach.
