Fit it to a solid masonry wall, or to a stud wall that has been properly reinforced with a pattress board or noggins, using fixings suited to the wall and the load. Wall fixings are not normally supplied, because the correct fixing depends on your wall. Check for hidden pipes and cables before drilling, and follow AKW's fitting instructions. Where the seat is being fitted for a specific person, an occupational therapist can advise on the best seat height and position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes \u0026amp; product codes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVersion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize (W x D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAKW code\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEAN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFold up wall mounted seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e442 x 478mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390–640mm (set at installation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04030\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295107069\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreestanding stool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e555 x 372mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e410–535mm (25mm steps)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05080\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5055295108622\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated rubberwood slats, varnished profiled edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel (rust-proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSafe working load\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40st \/ 254kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAKW lifetime warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the wood rot in the shower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rubberwood is treated and varnished, and the slatted design lets water drain so the seat dries between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stool need fixing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo – the stool is freestanding.
