VBH offers comfort to less able VBH (GB) has added the Maco Comfort Stay to its range. It works in conjunction with standard Trend tilt and turn hardware but utilises a special driven scissor stay to move the sash into tilt mode and back as the handle is rotated. The han- dle is situated on the bottom horizontal of the sash so is more accessible to those unable to reach the normal handle position halfway up the
window. This is a huge bonus to those with limited reach due to mobility issues, and to the wheelchair-bound in particular. VBH states that PVCu or timber windows fitted with Maco Trend/Comfort Stay are also an excellent solution for windows in hard to reach installations. As with all tilt and turn windows the window can be opened for easy and safe cleaning of the external glass from inside the building.

IKEA adapts to cater for all
IKEA has become the first interiors store in the UK to go beyond the call of duty in toilet provision. The group’s Edinburgh outlet has had a Clos-o-Mat Palma ‘wash and dry’ toilet installed in its ‘Changing Places’ facility. As a result, anyone with a disability can enjoy the store, relaxed in the knowledge it has the most inclusive, appropriate toilet facilities of any superstore in the UK. The Clos-o- Mat, exclusively manufactured in the UK by Total Hygiene, looks like a conven- tional toilet but features integral douching and drying, simply activated by pressure on the flush pad. As a result it enables anyone with a disability to go to the toilet with little- or no- help, enhancing their independence and dignity. To optimize inclusivity, IKEA has had the Clos-o-Mat installed in place of a tra- ditional WC in its innovative ‘Changing Places’ accessible toilet, on the ground floor. ‘Bigger and better’ than conventional accessible (Document M) toilets, the Changing Places facility is large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and up to two carers, and features ‘Changing Places’ standard fixtures of overhead hoist, peninsula toilet, basin and height adjustable changing bench.

jacksplace chooses Pressalit Care bathrooms jacksplace, a purpose built hospice for young adults, has chosen specialist bathrooms from Pressalit Care for its new, state of the art facilities. The bathrooms, which include a range of Pressalit Care products, have been designed and fitted out to meet the hospice’s ethos of offering its residents a comfortable, caring and supportive home- from-home. The bathrooms were designed
following a visit by Naomi House staff, and architects Architecture PLB, to Pressalit Care’s test facilities at Brunel University. Here they were able to look at different layout and product solutions and see how the products are able to adjust both horizontally and vertically to adapt to different user situations.
