Summary

The AKW 4000 Series is engineered for long-term durability and safety in high-moisture environments. Constructed with a robust, corrosion-resistant aluminium frame and high-quality plastic seating, this seat addresses the practical challenges of independent bathing. The inclusion of fixed arms provides essential leverage when transitioning from standing to sitting, offering users a sense of autonomy and confidence.

The ergonomic backrest provides additional lumbar support, making it suitable for users who require extra stability.

FAQs

Can this seat be installed on a stud wall?

This seat must be fixed to a solid masonry wall or a reinforced timber frame to safely support the maximum weight capacity. Standard plasterboard or stud walls without internal reinforcement are not suitable for this type of installation.

How do I adjust the height for different users?

The support legs feature a simple pin-clip system to adjust the height in 25mm increments. Additionally, the screw-thread feet allow for fine-tuning to account for floor gradients or drainage slopes in a wet room.

What is the best way to maintain the seat?

Use non-abrasive, mild detergents and a soft cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface finish of the aluminium and plastic components.
