COVID-19 UPDATE. HEWI Active Plus+
In these unprecedented times we have all been looking to protect ourselves and our loved ones as much as we possibly can. A worldwide consensus has been to ensure that the surfaces we interact with are as free from contaminants as possible. We are all doing our part by ensuring we wash our hands regularly and touch foreign surfaces as little as possible.
For those of us however who find this impractical or have to interact with support products regularly, the risk of infection from germs and bacteria is obviously higher and so the need for a higher level of confidence of a surface’s cleanliness is required.
HEWI Active Plus+ introduced to the market in 2015, is specifically designed with this in mind. Active Plus+ incorporates Microsilver into the product material. The Microsilver then discharges silver ions, which inhibit the growth of bacteria, germs, fungi and microbes. Over 24 hours, germs on the surface of the products are reduced continuously, so that during this period 99.9 % of the germs are reduced.
HEWI active+ does not harm the environment or the human body. The active ingredient is ECO CERT-certified and suitable for the use of skin care products.

Hewi Elegance With a Comfort Factor
Range 801 from HEWI, the classic among barrier-free sanitary products, is also available in the WARM TOUCH edition as a warm-to-the-touch alternative to chrome products.
Nobody likes to hold on to cold support rails, especially not in the bathroom or in an accessible toilet. People with a heightened sensitivity to cold in particular find it unpleasant to touch cold surfaces. That's why HEWI, the pioneer of barrier-free sanitary equipment, has gone one step further and given the products in its design classic, the 801 range, an elegant chrome look – with a pleasantly temperate surface. The name WARM TOUCH therefore says it all, as the support rails and the shower and bath handrails have the warm, tactile properties of polyamide and, thanks to the special coating, the elegant look of a chrome surface: elegance with the comfort factor.
With the comprehensive System 801, HEWI set the decisive milestone in sanitary equipment over 50 years ago. At the time, it was the very first barrier-free equipment range in the sanitary sector and still offers accessible sanitary equipment at the highest level: durable, functional and aesthetic. HEWI has both users and carers in mind when developing and further developing the coating and colour selection based on the universal design, which is geared towards meeting the needs of all people. People with limited mobility in particular gain more security in their everyday lives thanks to the supportive grip systems in an ergonomic round tube design for washbasins, WCs and showers.
The high-quality chrome-look coating of the WARM TOUCH edition not only gives the polyamide products in the 801 range their elegant appearance, it also makes them particularly resistant, hard-wearing and easy to clean. These are factors that are of great importance in professional nursing care, the hotel industry and also at home. But the comfort factor is just as important, because people with rheumatic diseases, for example, benefit immensely from the pleasantly warm feel.
The high-gloss chrome-look surfaces of the WARM TOUCH ranges are a perfect match for HEWI chrome sanitary accessories.
Since its foundation in 1929, HEWI has developed into a system provider for comprehensive solutions in the areas of building hardware, sanitary accessories, and accessible products. Over the past 90 years, the company has grown to become a leader in in the field of accessibility and a recognised expert in system design. In line with Universal Design, the focus for HEWI is on people’s individual needs.
ICONIC Awards 2023: Award for HEWI magnetic shower holder
ICONIC Awards 2023: Award for HEWI magnetic shower holder
For our innovative magnetic shower holder, we were recently awarded the Iconic Award 2023: Innovative Architecture – awarded Best of Best. In the category “Bathroom Accessories”, the innovative solution won over the jury of experts.
A new feeling of comfort
The new, patented magnetic shower holder from HEWI is much easier to use and, in the spirit of universal design, is an optimal product for all people and especially for differently-abled users. Characteristic features are easy, magnet-based height adjustment by sliding the shower head, intuitive one-handed operation, a fully rotatable cone bracket, and the conscious lack of the buttons and knobs usually found on such products. Thus, the shower holder can be used without strain and even by those with motor limitations. Wet hands no longer matter, as the traditional clamping mechanism has been replaced by the novel magnetic principle, thus eliminating the need to exert pressure when adjusting the shower holder.
JURY OPINION ON THE MAGNETIC SHOWER HOLDERS
”The HEWI magnetic shower holder is universal design par excellence: intuitive and easy to operate with one hand, hygienic, easy to clean thanks to smooth surfaces, and long-lasting thanks to the absence of mechanical locking knobs. Can be combined with shower rods of different lengths and various rail variants of the System 900 from HEWI. The user thus always has a secure hold. Particularly praiseworthy is the attractive design, which carries no trace of the bland after-taste of age- or disability-friendly design. The choice of five surface options offers real variety for a contemporary bathroom interior.”
