AKW Onyx Compact Shower Seat with Back and Arms - Black

This slimline, wall-mounted shower seat provides a secure and stylish seating solution for users with limited mobility or those who require extra stability in the shower. By combining a high weight capacity with a fold-away design, it solves the problem of balancing bathroom safety with the need to maintain a modern, uncluttered aesthetic. It is specifically engineered for wet rooms and standard shower enclosures where space is at a premium.

Benefits

• Foldable Compact Design > Space Efficiency: The seat and arms independently fold against the wall when not in use, ensuring the shower remains accessible for other household members without obstructing the floor area.
• Reinforced Die-Cast Aluminium Frame > Maximum Stability: The robust construction supports a safe working load of up to 200kg (31 stone), providing the user with total confidence and long-term durability in a high-moisture environment.
• Contoured Backrest and Arm Supports > Enhanced Ergonomics: The integrated backrest and padded arms offer essential lateral support and leverage, making it easier for users to transition from standing to sitting safely.

Product Overview

The Onyx Compact Shower Seat is a premium accessibility solution that prioritises user dignity through sophisticated design. Constructed from high-quality materials, the seat features a textured, non-slip surface to prevent sliding when wet, while the drainage holes ensure water does not pool during use. Its minimalist black and chrome finish allows it to blend seamlessly into contemporary bathroom interiors, moving away from the clinical look of traditional mobility aids.

This seat is particularly effective for users who require more than a standard stool; the addition of arms provides vital 'push-off' points for those with reduced lower-body strength. The wall-mounted bracket system is engineered to distribute weight evenly, though it must be fixed to a solid wall or a reinforced timber pattress. Whether you are retrofitting an existing bathroom for independent living or designing a new wet room, this unit offers a blend of safety, comfort, and sleek European styling.

FAQs

Does this seat require a specific type of wall for installation? Yes. Due to the leverage applied when in use, this seat must be fixed to a solid masonry wall or a reinforced timber stud wall. We recommend using a professional installer to ensure the fixings are appropriate for your specific wall type.

How do I clean and maintain the Onyx seat? The non-porous materials are designed for easy maintenance. Use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish and the slip-resistant texture of the seat.
