AKW launches new range of shower seats for every adaptation
AKW, one of the UK’s leading providers of accessibility solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of its new range of shower seats, which will be available from late March. Thanks to the addition of the new entry level 1000 Series and the upgrade to AKW’s 3000 Series, there is now a shower seat for every adaptation requirement and price-point.
Developed in consultation with occupational therapists, end users and installers, the new 1000 Series and updated 3000 Series shower seats complement AKW’s 2000 and 4000 Series ranges and deliver functionality and safety without any compromise to style.
AKW has created the new entry level 1000 Series to ensure that there is a shower seat at every price point. As well as having side transfer and colour padding options for users with visual impairments, the 1000 Series is also height adjustable, has a padded backrest on the frame and a maximum weight of 158kg/25 Stone and comes with a 12-month warranty.
AKW’s improved 3000 Series shower seat offers users and installers a strong, durable chair, without the full specification of the 4000 Series. This mid-range shower seat is height adjustable, has a half back support with padding and PU arms with top padding. It also has a maximum weight of 190kg/30 Stone and comes with a 12-month warranty, offering users cost-effective durability.
Stuart Reynolds, Head of Product and Marketing at AKW comments: “Our aim is to ensure that all accessibility needs are met with our products. With this in mind, we have reviewed our shower seat ranges and introduced the 1000 Series, to ensure that all end user requirements are taken into account. With the introduction of the 1000 Series and the additional improvements we have made to the 3000 Series, installers, occupational therapists and end users now have a shower seat to suit any need, or budget.”
AKW launches its new task focused lighting range
AKW launches its new task focused lighting range
AKW, one of the UK’s leading providers of accessibility solutions, continues to build on its one stop shop offering with the launch of a new task focused bathroom lighting range. Available from March, the lighting range is also accompanied by an ‘AKW Lighting Guide for Accessible Bathrooms’ that has been developed in conjunction with occupational therapists. This is available to download from www.akw-ltd.co.uk/lighting and explains how to light accessible bathrooms to promote independence and help reduce accidents.
To make life easier for specifiers and installers, AKW has created a Task Focused Lighting Kit within the range, that contains just the right type and quantity of lights to illuminate an 8ft by 6ft bathroom space for those with low vision and mobility issues. The kit contains five narrow beam (30) ceiling LED task lights: three for the bath/shower zone and two for the toilet and sink areas, two long lasting, bright (1764lm) LED ceiling lights for ambient lighting of the space and a blue pull-cord switch - ideal for those with sight loss or dementia.
All of the products featured in the AKW Task Focused Lighting Kit can also be bought separately for larger bathroom installations. In addition, the wider AKW lighting range also includes LED lights with dimming sensor and emergency functions, as well as pull cord switch, timer controlled and humidistat bathroom fans and LED bathroom light product packages.
Stuart Reynolds, Head of Product and Marketing at AKW comments: “For those with low vision or mobility issues, the avoidance of shadows, dark areas and glare is key to safe movement around the bathroom. To overcome this, a mix of task-specific and overall ambient lighting is needed to ensure the bathroom is sufficiently lit. By adding our new lighting range to our existing vinyl flooring, tiling and timber offerings, installers and specifiers can come to AKW for even more of the components needed for a bathroom adaptation, saving time and reducing the risk of delay for an installation.”
