The Fold-down shower seat Sourcing PRO White (model A140101) is a wall-mounted folding shower bench designed to provide a stable, space-saving seating solution in wet-room environments. It features a durable construction with a white finish that is easy to clean and integrates into a range of bathroom interiors. The bench folds up against the wall when not in use to free floor space and folds down securely to offer a reliable seat during showering or assisted bathing.
Advantages
The wall-mounted design keeps the floor clear and simplifies cleaning while the folding mechanism allows compact storage when not in use. The seat surface is finished in white for a neutral, hygienic appearance and can be wiped down with standard bathroom cleaners. Robust mounting points and a stable hinge mechanism deliver reliable support for users who require a safe place to sit while showering. Installation against a solid wall provides long-term stability.
Suitable for
- Assisted bathing for caregivers and care recipients
- Elderly users who need a stable seated position in the shower
- People recovering from injury or surgery requiring seated showering
- Small bathrooms where floor space must be maximised
When it may not be suitable
This fold-down bench is intended for mounting on a solid, load-bearing wall; it may not be suitable for installation on very thin partition walls or hollow surfaces without additional reinforcement. It is designed as a shower seat and is not a substitute for medical equipment that requires specific certification or higher weight capacity; check mounting conditions and user weight requirements before relying on it for high-dependency care.
Key specifications
- Mounting type: wall-mounted, fold-down design
- Finish: white, easy-clean surface
- Application: designed for shower/bathroom seating
- Operation: manual fold-up/fold-down hinge mechanism
- Space-saving: folds flat against the wall when not in use
How to use
Securely mount the bench to a suitable load-bearing wall following manufacturer guidance and using appropriate fixings. To use, fold the seat down until the hinge locks in place, verify it is secure, then sit carefully, ensuring feet are positioned for stable support. After use, fold the seat up against the wall to maximise floor space and wipe the surface dry to reduce slip risk and maintain hygienic conditions.
What to consider before purchase
- Wall construction and ability to support wall-mounted fixtures
- Required weight capacity and whether additional reinforcement is needed
- Available shower space and clearance when the seat is folded down
- Compatibility of the white finish with existing bathroom decor and cleaning products
Usage recommendations
For safe long-term use, have the mounting wall and fixings inspected by a qualified fitter, follow the supplied installation instructions, and periodically check hinges and fixings for wear or loosening. Use non-slip flooring and consider additional grab rails if extra support is required when transferring to and from the seat.
