Our ‘Accessible’ kitchens category has a great selection of taps and sinks to help architects & designers create the perfect accessible kitchen (easy to use kitchens for the elderly, less abled and wheelchair users.

As well as some fantastic contemporary design shallow bowl sinks that meet DDA requirements, we offer Italian made Ability taps that combine style with ergonomic easy to use handles in a soft touch resin that is both comfortable to hold and flexible to reduce injuries.
Other taps that help create a safe, accessible to all kitchen are our unique ‘Thermassure’ taps which are fitted with a unique safety cartridge that ensures the maximum hot water temperature will not exceed 45°c even when lever is pushed fully to the hot position – in fact it’ll even shut off the hot water if it senses the cold water supply fail – something particularly reassuring for more vulnerable users!

Thermosafe cartridge in action

This is the heart of our new Thermassure tap…
The mixer cartridge has an active element that closes the hot inlet when necessary to ensure that the temperature won’t exceed 45°c and if the cold water fails for any reason will totally close the tap to prevent burns
Fitted like any normal tap, the Thermassure taps are suitable for both domestic and healthcare use

“Thermassure Taps –  Unique new temperature safe taps”

Our new Thermassure taps work exactly like any normal tap requiring only the same installation as a standard tap yet offer dual anti-scald protection – lift the lever to operate the tap and move from left to right to change the temperature but no matter how far you move it to the hot side it will stop the temperature going over 45°C  plus  in the event of the cold water failing will totally shut down the tap providing safety and peace of mind especially for those who are vulnerable or at risk of accidental burns or scalding

Available from September, the range offers bathroom and kitchen taps both for domestic users and also for  public/commercial facing healthcare facilities.

Hospital toilet seat

By definition toilets are unhygienic and a breeding ground for germs.
In the medical and care sectors where hygiene is a particular concern , our new PNC toilet seat will make a real difference!
Apart from being low maintenance (with non loosening hinges) and easy to clean, it features a unique seal system that when closed keeps water droplets in the pan – therefore reducing both germ distribution and associated bad odours:
