Metlam Vandal Resistant Backrest Satin Stainless Steel

Description

Public accessible toilets take a lot of wear, and a standard padded backrest does not always survive it. The Metlam Vandal Resistant Backrest pairs the Metlam backrest frame with a vandal resistant pad, making it a sensible choice for shopping centres, transport hubs, parks, schools and other high-traffic accessible toilets.

The kit is made from grade 304 stainless steel with a satin stainless steel finish and surface mounts with concealed fixings. It measures 158mm high, 605mm wide and 447mm deep. The pad height can be adjusted by 20mm and the depth by 100mm, so the installer can set the pad position for the pan and cistern. Spare parts are available separately: the VP_PAD pad and the MLR119_WALLBRACKET arm mount, which includes the wall mounting plate.

Choosing a grab rail

Grab rails give support where people sit, stand and turn: beside the toilet, inside the shower and next to the bath. Straight rails suit ambulant cubicles, showers and general support. 90 degree rails combine a horizontal and a vertical grip for sitting down and getting up. Drop down rails fold out of the way so an accessible toilet stays clear for wheelchair transfers. Accessible and ambulant toilets in Australian public and commercial buildings are designed to AS 1428.1, which sets rail positions, a 30 to 40mm tube diameter and the gap between rail and wall.

Fixing matters as much as the rail. Concealed-fix flanges hide the screws for a neater, tamper-resistant finish, and every rail must go into studs, noggins or solid masonry that can carry the load. Satin stainless steel is the hard-wearing standard for hospitals, aged care, schools and offices; matte black suits homes and boutique commercial fit-outs where the rail should look like part of the design.
