AKW extends accessible toilet range with new minimalist additions to meet market needs
Bathroom accessibility solutions provider AKW has announced the addition of two new toilets to its already extensive range.
The height adjustable Rise & Fall WC delivers flexible toileting for users of different heights, ages and requirements and the Navlin Wall-Hung Pan has a minimalist, modern style for contemporary bathrooms.
With the addition of the Rise & Fall WC and Navlin Wall-Hung Pan, AKW can meet even more end user’s clinical toileting and aesthetic needs.
AKW’s Rise & Fall WC has been designed with versatility in mind. It can be raised or lowered to suit individual user requirements, promoting toileting independence.
The Rise & Fall WC is comprised of the ultra-minimalist designed Navlin Wall-Hung Pan, a soft-close toilet seat and the Rise & Fall Cistern Unit, which has a concealed cistern, fold up support arms and a built-in dual push button flush.
The toilet pan can be lowered or raised using buttons on the right-hand arm of the unit, to a height between 424mm-624mm from the finished floor level to the top of the seat.
The arms on the cistern unit fold-up for ease of access. They support up to 120kg each and can also be used to help users safely navigate around the bathroom.
The Navlin Wall-Hung Pan features a rimless pan and direct flushing technique for increased hygiene. The pan supports up to 400kg and the toilet seat and soft-close lid up to 150kg, to cater to a variety of user needs.
Compatible with standard wall-hung frames, a Geberit Duofix Frame, Kappa Cistern and Kappa Flush Plate are also available with the unit. As well as creating the illusion of space and promoting easier cleaning, the Navlin Wall-Hung Pan comes with rounded edges, to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a trip or fall.
Stuart Reynolds, Head of Product and Marketing at AKW comments: “Accessibility has never looked so good! With the introduction of the Navlin Wall-Hung Pan and the Rise & Fall WC users can choose a solution that meets their needs, whilst embracing an ultra-minimalist bathroom aesthetic.
“Also, both toilet solutions are compatible with the Navlin and Navlin Doc M wash basins, enabling the creation of complete bathroom suites. With the introduction of these two products, specifiers, installers and users now have even greater choice when it comes to choosing modern, discreet toileting solutions.”
AKW works closely with occupational therapists and healthcare professionals, to design and manufacture a full range of easy access showering, kitchens and mobility support products. The inclusive living solutions provider recently announced the launch of a new highly accessible kitchen cupboard, the ActivMotion Glide Wall Unit.
