AKW– Beautiful inclusive showering solutions A
s soon as the word ‘inclusive’ is added to the word ‘bathroom’,
many will think of functional spaces that are fit-for-purpose yet look out of place in most homes. Here Stuart Reynolds, UK Marketing & Product Management Director at AKW, a leading provider of inclusive solutions, shows how style and functionality can be combined in the bathroom to encourage independent living.
Level access bathroom inclusion One of the easiest ways to create inclusivity in the bathroom is with the use of a level-access shower room or wet room. To ensure that the space is both beautiful and functional, the bathroom’s design is key for the users present and future needs. AKW has specific bathroom guidance for those designing for visual impairment, dementia, and wheelchair users on the website. Whatever the user challenges, creating a safe
space is essential when it comes to designing an inclusive bathroom. This will include minimising trip and slip hazards, promoting navigation and reducing confusion around the space, placing suitable grab rails throughout and ensuring that the lighting works for the user. To ensure that this can all be done in a way that promotes the aesthetics of the inclusive bathroom as well as its functionality, AKW has recently launched its Beautiful Showering range.
