† Please note that the mounting height refers to the top edge of the rail and not the height of the fixing points. Horne grab rails are 32mm in diameter, therefore the fixing centres should be 664mm or 784mm above finished floor level.

Inclusive showers

Shower riser rails, aesthetically matching the grab rails, incorporate an Inclusive Design handset holder carriage mechanism with pull tab 'extender'.  These are available mounted directly to the shower panel or as an additional wall-mounted accessory.

For public, self-service accessible and assisted showering / Changing Places facilities, we recommend our T108A2L and related shower models, with optional longer (2m) hose.  Our T1Y8A2L and related models include the riser rail in deep orange to enhance colour and tonal contrast perception for the visually impaired, including by neurological decline (e.g. dementia). Alternatively, dual-mode shower models with manual diverter valve, our T705 range, the wall-mounted riser rail and are suitable for assisted showering in care, residential and public accessible facilities.
