AKW Fold Up Wooden Slatted Shower Seat With Support Legs

This robust, floor-supported shower seat provides a high-capacity seating solution for users who prefer the natural feel and durability of timber. By utilizing twin support legs to transfer weight directly to the floor, it solves the structural challenges of supporting bariatric users up to 254kg (40 stone). Designed in consultation with occupational therapists, end users and installers specifically for those who require a wider seating area and maximum stability without compromising the aesthetic of a traditional bathroom.

Benefits

• Reinforced Support Legs > 254kg (40 Stone) Capacity: The twin stainless steel legs distribute the user's weight into the floor rather than the wall, providing the highest level of structural security for bariatric use.
• Sustainable FSC-Certified Timber > Natural Durability: The slatted wooden surface is warm to the touch and naturally resistant to rot, providing a comfortable and long-lasting alternative to plastic or metal seating.
• Wide Slatted Design > Rapid Drainage: The open-slat configuration allows water to flow through the seat instantly, preventing pooling and ensuring a safer, slip-resistant experience for the user.

Product Overview

The AKW 04030 wooden slatted seat is a specialist mobility aid that bridges the gap between high-strength performance and classic design. Constructed from high-quality, responsibly sourced timber and a stainless steel frame, it is built to withstand the rigours of both domestic and heavy-duty care environments. The wooden slats are finished with a smooth, water-resistant coating that retains the natural grain while ensuring the surface remains easy to clean and hygienic.

This seat is particularly effective in wet rooms where users may spend longer periods showering and require a more substantial platform than a standard wall-only seat. The support legs are fitted with non-marking, slip-resistant feet that can be adjusted to accommodate uneven floor gradients, ensuring a perfectly level seating position. When not in use, the seat folds vertically against the wall, though the legs remain a structural feature, ensuring the shower area is kept as clear as possible for other household members.

FAQs

Why aren't wall fixings included with this seat? Because this is a heavy-duty seat designed to hold up to 254kg, the choice of fixings is critical. The installer must assess the wall type—whether it is solid masonry or reinforced timber—and use the appropriate high-tensile coach bolts or heavy-duty screws to ensure safety.

Does the wood require regular oiling or treatment? The timber slats are pre-treated for moisture resistance. For general maintenance, you should clean the seat with a mild detergent and dry it after use. To prolong the life of the finish in high-use environments, we recommend checking the slats periodically for any wear to the protective coating.

Can the legs be adjusted if my shower floor has a slope for drainage? Yes. The feet on the support legs feature a fine-thread adjustment mechanism. This allows the installer to compensate for the slight falls and gradients found in wet room floors, ensuring the seat remains level and stable.
