Accessibility; Air quality & ventilation Making it easy to adapt


A new briefing paper from the House of Commons is highlighting increased funding that should lead to almost a doubling of home adaptations under Disabled Facilities Grants. To help social housing providers deliver in a timely manner, Closomat – a leading provider of disabled toilet solutions – has a unique package in its sector. It means that, from one source, bathroom adaptations can be efficiently project managed, while being fully compliant with all appropriate Regulations, and then serviced and maintained. No other shower (wash & dry) toilet manufacturer has the capability to offer, and deliver, such a full service. In addition, the service extends beyond simply installation of an appropriate shower (wash & dry) toilet. Closomat can offer design advice, supply and install a raft of supplementary bathroom equipment, including ceiling track hoists, toilet lifters, height adjustable washbasins, shower seats, and even adult-sized changing benches and body driers. Closomat produces, in the UK, the brand leader and biggest seller in shower toilets, the Palma Vita. The company was the first to introduce the concept of shower toilets into the UK, almost 60 years ago. The Palma Vita is the only unit of its kind developed specifically for disabled people, and which can be accessorised – initially and retrospectively – to accommodate the user’s changing needs. Details of Closomat product and service offerings can be found on its website, the ‘go to’ resource for enabling intimate hygiene strategies.
