AKW SHOWCASES THREE NEW STYLISH SOLUTIONS

AKW, the UK’s leading inclusive living solutions provider, is hoping for a hat-trick in the Naidex South new product awards. 

Building on the success of its Luda electric care shower, the company is launching a new stylish version, the LUDA S, as well as introducing a new inclusively designed shower screens range plus a uniquely designed wet-room linear former.

At Naidex South, AKW will be building on its key messages of life, style and choice, showing a wide range of bathroom and kitchen equipment combining style and function in designs aimed at offering positive home enhancements as well as practical assistance. 

Joanna Marston, Marketing Manager of AKW, said:  “Naidex is a very important show for us and we are pulling all the stops out to demonstrate our passion for giving people, whatever their needs, the freedom to create living spaces that enhance their quality of life in practical ways without them having to sacrifice on choice or style.”

The stand will include a working model of the new LUDA S  electric care shower which features the LUDA Sensory Interface, specifically designed to be easy to use and offer complete control over the showering experience. 

Designed for people with a range of sensory impairments, the LUDA S combines high-contrast tactile push buttons for temperature and flow control with audio and visual recognition.  Newly-developed IQ Smart technology brings a new level of intelligence to the shower’s operation, controlling the water temperature to the user’s pre-set requirement by analysing the incoming water supply.  Constant monitoring and dynamic response to fluctuations in external conditions delivers a stable and reliable output wherever the shower is installed.

Also on display will be the Larenco range of shower screens, designed to offer flexibility and style for the entire family.  Produced from 6mm toughened clear glass and high quality aluminium, the Larenco range comes in a premium chrome finish and consists of a quadrant screen and tray, a single sliding screen and the Larenco Duo and Duo Care.

The Duo enclosure has been inclusively designed to offer great flexibility and style for the whole family.  It is made up from two full height split glass doors, with the top and bottom connected by the unique Duolinx handle system.  

The split doors enable carers to assist with showering without getting splashed and a maximum door width entry enclosure enables wheelchair users plenty of space to enter and shower comfortably. In addition all screens are completed with a unique Stay-Clear coating for a cleaner and hygienic finish.

Building on the growing popularity for beautiful wet rooms, AKW has introduced the Linear former, which is designed to bring a modern, stylish look to the wet-room area. 

A uniquely designed integrated tough waste makes the former easy to fit and requires little sealing.  It can be fitted with a long stainless steel linear waste, providing much higher flow rate than a standard circular waste.
