Its primary purpose is to provide enhanced stability and safety for individuals with mobility impairments, helping them sit, stand, or transfer safely in bathroom environments.
While installation is possible, we strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified tradesperson to ensure it is securely fixed to the wall and meets safety standards.
The support rail is 800 mm in length, providing an extended grip area.
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials.
Specific mounting plate dimensions are available in the technical specification sheet, but ensure adequate wall space is available for secure fixing.
Yes, it is designed for bathroom environments, including wet rooms, provided it is installed on a suitably strong and waterproofed wall.
The blue colour is designed to improve visibility, which is a key consideration for accessibility and safety in bathroom design.
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. If the wall material is soft, additional wall anchors or reinforcement may be necessary. Professional reassessment of the installation is recommended.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the hinge. Clean the hinge area and apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant if necessary. Avoid over-lubrication.
Minor scratches may be buffed gently with a soft cloth. For significant damage, replacement of the rail may be necessary as the finish is integral to its visibility and protection.
Setup:
This hinged support rail is designed for wall mounting. It is crucial to fix the rail securely to a wall that can adequately support the intended load. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified professional for installation to ensure compliance with safety regulations and optimal structural integrity. The mounting points must be reinforced or aligned with wall studs for maximum stability. Ensure the rail is installed at the appropriate height for the intended users, typically around 725-750 mm from the floor.
Compatibility:
The rail is part of the Armitage Shanks Contour 21 range, designed to complement other accessible bathroom products. It is compatible with standard washroom wall constructions (e.g., solid brick, blockwork, or stud walls with appropriate reinforcement).
Care:
To maintain the appearance and hygiene of the support rail, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight.
