Height-adjustable WC: Investing in the future
Investing in a height-adjustable WC may initially seem more expensive than for a conventional WC, but it offers long-term benefits. Especially in public and semi-public areas, such as hospitals and barrier-free hotels, it provides a durable solution that can be adapted to different needs.
This sort of WC should be as easy as possible to operate by hand and be infinitely adjustable. S 50 washbasin and WC module from HEWI offer perfect accessibility at the touch of a button. The modules can be adjusted to the required height by radio remote control - even while the toilet is in use. The height of the WC module can be adjusted by a total of 15 cm, making it ideal for users to use the height adjustment as a standing aid. Users have a choice when it comes to flushing: HEWI offers both manual and sensor-controlled modules for professional use. Technical details here.
Accessibility through additional features and standards
In addition to height-adjustability, hinged support rails aid stability when standing up and sitting down. These can be mounted either to the right or left of the WC. It is also possible to mount them on both sides of the WC. In addition, all hinged support rails from HEWI can be combined with the module.
The hinged support rails are an important component in complying with DIN 18040, which specifies the requirements for accessibility in sanitary rooms. This standard ensures that people with physical disabilities can use the WC area safely and independently. The rails are suitable for various construction projects such as schools, care facilities or public buildings. This ensures optimum accessibility in a wide variety of room concepts.
Example of application: Hans-Thoma School Oberursel
The Hans-Thoma-Schule Oberursel uses height-adjustable WC modules to ensure accessibility in its sanitary facilities. These modules offer students with different needs more flexibility and safety. In educational institutions in particular, it is important that all users, regardless of their physical mobility, can use the sanitary rooms independently and comfortably.
