Luxor walk in bath

Products designed to aid a person with mobility problems can often look a little institutional, or a little over engineered and industrial. All that has changed. The Luxor Bath really does represent the pinnacle of luxury incorporating the cutting edge of technology.

Manufactured with processes and materials normally associated with the marine industry the Luxor bath is immensely strong, totally practical and pleasing on the eye. The Luxor looks right at home in any bathroom and replaces any standard bath with a minimal amount of fuss.

The Luxor bath boasts so many features  Side entry door The side entry door makes access and exit so much easier and safer than clambering over the edge of a normal bath. This is a huge advantage when the user is a little unsteady or movement is restricted. Twin motor belt lift The twin motor belt lift conveys the user evenly whether lifting or lowering (unlike certain single motor devices that continually tip the occupant over as they pay out or hoist up). Fully recline in your full length bath Because the belt is only thin the user is lowered right to the bottom of the bath, so full and proper immersion can be enjoyed when the bath is filled (unlike bath chairs or seats that by their nature hold the occupant up away from the floor of the bath and out of the water). Convenient seat height The height of the belt lift (when at the top) also makes sitting down or standing up a little less difficult.

Touch sensitive controls

The control for all functions of the bath are managed by touch sensitive buttons conveniently positioned without having to reach. These control the belt lifting mechanism and the water flow and temperature - which is delivered to the bath pre-mixed through a single spout located at the foot end of the bath. There are additional touch sensitive controls if you choose the luxurious hydrotherapy spa option.

Scald protection with a thermostatic safety valve

Safety features highly with all our walk-in baths and the Luxor is no exception. Scalding is a very real issue with baths - especially the type where you have to be 'in place' before you start pouring water. It doesn't take too much imagination to picture what might happen if scalding hot water suddenly starts entering the bath - all over the unsuspecting occupant! For this reason the bath is protected by a device known as a TMV3. This is a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV). The number (3) denotes the highest category of protection (from 1-3) offered (equivalent to NHS requirements). The TMV3 installs in the hot and cold water pipes to the bath and by blending in cold water when necessary enables you to set the maximum temperature that hot water can enter the bath. [Never be tempted to use a walk-in bath without a TMV3 - no matter who advises you to the contrary]

To complete the picture there is the structure of the bath itself. Manufactured in much the same way as a small boat, the bath is super-strong with a durable surface to match. Rigidity is particularly important in a bath that incorporates a side door. Inferior manufacturing materials and techniques have left some manufacturers mopping up serious leaks! A lesson to be observed - not all products are the same, even though they look similar.

The Luxor bath is the product of much testing and development. It represents a fine blend of luxury and technology to provide you with ultimate enjoyment - from both ownership and use.

Duet walk in Bath

A more simple version of the Luxor bath is available in The Duet. Manufactured in exactly the same way and with all the same structural strength as the Luxor, the Duet is a perfect replacement for a standard bath.

If you  can manage to sit down and stand up without too much difficulty (having no requirement for a lift) but have trouble lifting your legs over the side of a standard bath you may find the Duet the perfect solution.

Have your walk in bath made to match existing colours

The Luxor and Duet baths are available in virtually any colour to order. This means you can match them into an existing suite, minimising the upheaval of installation. The usually short lead time for a white bath will inevitably become longer if you require a colour but not excessively. All we require is a sample of the colour you wish the bath to be made in.

Advice: Consider carefully when you intend to match into an old suite and/or colour. Can you obtain replacements for the old suite in the event you have an accident and say for example break the toilet cistern lid? It is sometimes prudent to change the entire bathroom suite to match a white bath rather than match an expensive coloured bath to suite that you can no longer obtain parts for. It might surprise you that bathroom suites aren't as expensive as they sound.

At the end of your bath simply press the easy to reach buttons and the belt gently lifts you up into a comfortable sitting position from which you can easily stand up.
