Saniflo is launching a range of ‘inclusive design’ products under the SaniLife brand. The first product is an electrically controlled rise and fall WC called the Sanimatic, paired with an adjustable height washbasin. This provides finger tip control to the less able enabling them to adjust the seat height and flush the WC without having to turn or stretch.
As the population of the UK increases the number of registered disabled and older citizens rises, leading to an increased demand for products that will enable people to continue to live in their family homes whilst enjoying the assistance of products of inclusive design. Sanimatic blends aesthetically with modern bathroom furniture so it looks to be a regular wall hung toilet. The important difference, its adjustability, means it can assist the less able user in sitting down and getting up.
Sanimatic is compatible with all wall hung toilet bowls allowing wide aesthetic choice. It has a height adjustability of 37cms (approx.14. 1/2 inches) from 380mm up to 750mm from floor level. It’s designed to carry a load of up to 150kg and the unit comes complete with a 6 litre cistern that can be flushed from the control panel.
The Sanimatic system can be used with optional folding arm supports or not, as required. The use of anodised aluminium and white ABS provides a clean and modern appearance and, subject to availability of water and electrical supply, the unit can be installed in as little as two hours. It can either be wall mounted or recessed into the wall.
Sanimatic is part of the SaniLife range of inclusive design products from Saniflo. It is available to order from Saniflo and the website www.saniflo.co.uk gives all the details of the Saniflo domestic and professional ranges of macerators and pumps.
