AKW Series 2000 Standard Padded Fold-Up Shower Seat with Back & Arms Grey/Blue

This professional-grade wall-mounted shower seat provides a secure, cushioned bathing solution for individuals with limited mobility or those requiring extra stability. Engineered for long-term durability and comfort, it resolves the risk of slips and fatigue by offering a stable, ergonomic platform that folds away when not in use.

• Padded Cellular Moulding > Enhanced Comfort: The seat and backrest feature  cellular padding that is warm to the touch and provides a slip-resistant surface, ensuring the user remains comfortable and secure during extended use.
• Integrated Arms and Backrest > Superior Support: Unlike basic stools, this model includes built-in arms to assist with sitting and standing, alongside a full backrest to maintain posture and reduce strain.
• Fold-Up Design > Space Efficiency: The seat, arms, and backrest independently fold against the wall, making it ideal for shared bathrooms where floor space must be preserved for other household members.

Product Overview

The AKW Series 2000 is a cornerstone of accessible bathroom design, blending robust engineering with user-centric ergonomics. Constructed from high-quality materials, the frame is designed to withstand the humid conditions of a wetroom or shower cubicle without compromising structural integrity. 

During use, the adjustable support legs provide vital load-bearing stability, transferring weight safely to the floor rather than relying solely on wall fixings. This makes it a reliable choice for various wall types when installed with appropriate hardware. Whether you are managing a long-term disability or recovering from surgery, this seat transforms a standard shower into a safe, independent environment. The smooth surfaces and non-porous padding ensure the unit is easy to sanitise, meeting the hygiene standards required for both domestic and healthcare settings.

FAQs

How do I adjust the height of the seat?

The seat height is adjusted via the two support legs. These feature a pin-clip system that allows you to set the height between 482mm and 607mm to suit the user's requirements before final commissioning.

Can this be installed on a stud or plasterboard wall?

While the seat features support legs to take the majority of the weight, the wall fixings are crucial for lateral stability. For stud walls, you must ensure the seat is fixed into the timber studs or use a reinforcing ply-panel behind the tiles.

Is the padding waterproof and easy to clean?

Yes, the cellular moulding is non-absorbent and designed specifically for wet environments. It can be cleaned using standard non-abrasive household bathroom cleaners and warm soapy water.
