SHOWERS Examples of suitable products

In buildings that provide showers or changing rooms (swimming
pools, hotels, hospitals, retirement homes, etc.) showers should
incorporate in principle:
• Equipment enabling people to sit down and access to a support
when seated or standing: a removable or lift-up shower seat,
support bars with a vertical riser rail and drop-down support
rails.
• A free space - known as a utility space (0.80m x 1.30m) - next
to the equipment, providing easy access for wheelchair users.

• Equipment accessible from the seated position:
®
adapted taps, coat hooks, mirrors, sliding shower Removable shower seat Removable lift-up Be-Line
head holders, etc. to hang on grab bars shower seat with leg
Ref. 510300N Ref. 511930C
• A floor trap.

We recommend installing a thermostatic mixer with automatic
anti-scalding failsafe - or a tap with a maximum temperature
limiter - with a cool-touch body and ergonomic long lever
(see our catalogue - Water Controls for Hospitals).

CHANGING ROOMS

Changing rooms should similarly provide a seat with suitable
support bars as well as a utility space 1,500mm in front of
the lockers.

The various accessories should be equally accessible e.g. coat NylonClean drop-down Be-Line two-wall grab bar
hooks, mirrors and hair dryers. support rail with sliding vertical riser rail
