Impey launches bathroom adaptations training with Altro, Closomat, Mira Showers and Whale
Wetroom manufacturer Impey has announced the launch of the ‘Bathroom Adaptations Technical Training Tour’ in partnership with industry partners Altro, Closomat, Mira Showers and Whale.
The specialist training is free to attend and will take place on four dates across key locations including, Dartford, Gloucester, Manchester and Glasgow.
The Bathrooms Adaptations Technical Training Tour will take place between September and October 2023 and has been created for contractors, technical officers, and key stakeholders involved in all aspects of bathroom adaptation specification across private and public sectors.
The informative training sessions will run on four separate dates from 10am until 2pm, offering an opportunity to explore every aspect of accessible showering, including: wetrooms, trays, drainage, flooring, showers, pumps & toilets.
The day will be packed full of interactive discussion and networking, plus presentations, product demos and lunch.
The events have been developed to provide up-to-date information about the specification and installation of bathroom adaptations and the Impey technical team along with five key manufacturing partners will dispel the myths of level access showering.
Topics covered in the sessions will include wet floor specification; drainage, floor formers and shower trays; safety flooring; safer showering; inclusive design; dignity in toileting; service agreements & warranties; the advances in pumped drainage technology; flood prevention; dementia friendly design; surveying and technical support; compliance; supply chain benefits; sustainable solutions, and UK manufacturing.
Steve Huntly, Impey’s Managing Director, said: “We’re excited to announce this roadshow, offering a fantastic opportunity to showcase best practice in bathroom adaptations alongside four UK manufacturing partners.
“These events are designed to connect with key customers and provide a platform where we can offer insight and invaluable technical knowledge.
“We’ve been actively working alongside the BMA for the past few years to drive a heightened awareness of the need for inclusivity and product quality in accessible showering and these events will offer a great platform to spread the message wider.
“Not just for local authorities and installers, I’d encourage forward-thinking retailers to embrace how the market is shifting to cater for an ageing population.”
Places are available on a first come, first served basis, with limited numbers in each venue. Bookings are now open for all four dates.
Training will take place in Dartford (13 September), Gloucester (20 September), Manchester (4 October) and Glasgow (11 October).
Earlier this year, Impey hosted a free CPD-certified webinar that focused on bathroom adaptations.
