Time spent preparing detail drawings for inclusive toilets and washrooms is being significantly reduced with an upgraded facility from Total Hygiene.
The company, manufacturer of the brand-leading Clos-O-Mat automatic ‘wash and dry’ toilet and sponsor of the ‘Changing Places Changing Lives’ campaign for specialised accessible toilets, has added an option on its website whereby architects can simply point and click to download specification guidelines and CAD drawings of the company’s whole ambit of disabled toileting solutions.
The CAD download facility encompasses not just the core Clos-o-Mat Palma ‘wash and dry’ toilet, but the height adjustable Lima Lift, Aerolet toilet lifter, and each of the technical/ motive component s which comprise a Changing Places toilet- height adjustable changing bench, and wash basin. As a result it is, the company believes, the most comprehensive, single source for designing disabled toilets for every environment, from an individual’s home through conventional Approved Document M accessible toilets to the ‘Changing Places’ facilities.
Robin Tuffley, Total Hygiene Marketing Manager, explains, “Everyone is busy in today’s working environment, and we all want to have tools that make our job easier. We know from experience that both specifiers and users are surprised at the size of the Clos-O-Mat: because it combines toileting, washing and drying in one unit, the expectation is that it will be larger than conventional toilets, but it is actually almost identical in dimensions! But there are elements, depending on which unit is specified, that will affect positioning, services and clearance in the room. It seemed logical to produce those specification considerations in an easy to access format, for specifiers to download and simply drop into their schematics.”
In addition to the CAD drawings, the site includes detail to ensure the correct electrical and water connections and optional user elements are incorporated into the design.
Manufactured in the UK, Clos-O-Mat was the first automatic toilet in the market and is now the UK’s biggest-selling such unit, with over 40,000 units installed in locations ranging from individual’s homes to hospitals, hotels, nursing homes, shopping centres, tourist attractions and even on narrowboats. Total Hygiene provides a comprehensive sales, installation and after sales package, and offers a range of options to enable tailoring of each unit to individual requirements.
