Following extensive research with occupational therapists, AKW, a leading provider of bathroom accessibility solutions, has extended its bidet range to meet end users’ clinical and financial needs.
The new additions include AKW’s flagship Rise & Fall bidet, a Bottom-Entry bidet, ergonomic and Consilio bidet seats, and a new sensor flush, as well as compatible sanitaryware.
Extended bidet collection
AKW’s Rise & Fall bidet has been designed with versatility in mind. It can be raised or lowered to suit individual user requirements, promoting toileting independence. The easily adjustable toilet pan seat height (410mm-610mm height range from finished floor level to top of bidet) can accommodate users of different heights, needs, and ages. It also features fold-up arms for ease of access (that support up to 18.8st (120kg) each), which facilitates wheelchair transfers and can help users safely navigate around the bathroom.
A Bottom-Entry bidet has also been added to the collection. When combined with AKW’s Navlin and Navlin Doc M ranges, it offers a solution with a bottom-entry water feed that is cleverly concealed within the toilet pan. Both these new bidets complement the existing AKW Side-Entry bidet, which has been designed for installation on existing toilet pans and can be easily removed and re-installed elsewhere as required.
The AKW Bidet Collection also includes a wide, ergonomic bidet seat for optimum comfort and the Consilio bidet seat. This option has a larger aperture, offering a clean, flush finish when paired with AKW Livenza Plus, Navlin and Navlin Doc M sanitaryware. An infrared sensor flush addition is also available for use with AKW’s Navlin and Livenza Plus raised push button flush cisterns, to enable contact-free flushing where required.
Bidet packages for ease of specification
To make bidet specification more straightforward, AKW has also created four Bidet Collection packages. The Close-Coupled Bidet pack comes with an accessible price point. The Back-to-Wall Bidet pack is suitable for a variety of users and can be installed with a concealed cistern, with fitted furniture, or as a low-level WC. The Wall-Hung Bidet pack is an ultra-modern and discreet solution that can be installed at a user-specific height. Finally, the Rise & Fall Bidet pack addresses a variety of clinical needs while promoting the user’s retention or increase of independence and dignity.
Stuart Reynolds, Head of Product and Marketing at AKW commented: “We want to help those who need it, to retain or regain their independence when using the toilet. That is why we have invested so much time and energy in creating this Bidet Collection. It offers specifiers, installers and users an extensive range of competitively priced, high quality bidet options that provide modern, discreet toileting solutions.”
