If the seat isn’t required, it’s quick to remove, making this special feature inconspicuous and ensuring the Montana is equally ideal for unassisted bathing. The Tennessee bath is a popular choice from the Access Midi range with its ultra-compact shape and outward opening, wide access door. Suitable for bathers who prefer a fully upright seated position, the Tennessee has slip-resistant surfaces and effortless door locking operation.
Developed with healthcare professionals Access baths are said to be unique in the UK as they are all supplied with built-in antimicrobial BioCote. This silver-ion technology is integrated during the manufacturing process so cannot be wiped or worn away. As proven in Gainsborough baths for care homes and hospitals, once installed BioCote provides 99% 24/7 protection against influenza A H1N1, E. coli, Salmonella and CRO, CRE, VRE and MRSA. It also benefits domestic bathers by reducing stains and odours whilst increasing durability.
Developed in close cooperation with healthcare professionals and end users, the Access range consists of 11 baths with 25 different configurations. This choice is strengthened through advanced options such as Bluetooth sound, Chromotherapy and Air Spa. In term of taste, Gainsborough’s manufacturing capabilities allow all Access baths to be finished in any bespoke colour – offering a new retro alternative
to the
standard white. Precision construction with attention-to-detail provides guaranteed lifetime leak-free seals and a
10-year warranty. These
promises are reinforced by reliable components and high-grade materials which deliver a quality finish and feel.
