The people behind WINDSOR baths have had years of experience with walk-in baths, and understand what is needed to make a safe and convenient bath that will be a pleasure to use for years.
THE DIFFERENCES
With a walk-in and sit down bath with a door, the speed of filling the bath becomes critical. WINDSOR baths have quality fast-fill taps, custom made in Australia by RAM TAPWARE for WINDSOR BATHS, to ensure a quick fill time.They are also quarter turn taps with ceramic discs and a swivel spout. Cheap imports have cheap taps that can take up to 20 minutes to fill the bath.
A WINDSOR 'Care' sit-in bath is the safest type of bath for those with mobility issues. It is important to avoid conventional, lay-in type baths. While a door may help you get into the conventional type bath, the big risk is getting stuck on the floor of the bath. This is why lay-down type baths aren't fitted into aged care environments in Australia. Sit-in baths represent over 98% of walk-in bath sales world-wide.
When you have finished your bath, you want it to drain as quickly as possible. WINDSOR baths use a traditional BOSTON plug on a chain, because it allows the water to run out quicker than any other method. Cheap imports have pop up plugs that can leave you waiting for 20 minutes while they drain [remember, you can't open the door until the bath has drained].
WINDSOR doors have piano hinges to support the doors. Cheap imports have two ordinary hinges that can fail if you lean on them for support while entering or leaving your bath.
WINDSOR baths have head and seat cushions for your comfort
WINDSOR baths are true freestanding baths that have 4covered sides, hence they can be positioned just about anywhere. Cheap imports only have 2 side walls covered and the other 2 sides are completely open, limiting where you can position your bath
WINDSOR baths don't have grab bars fixed into the fibreglass bodies. These bars don't comply with Australian Standard AS1428 as bars generally can't be mounted firmly enough into fibreglass.
WINDSOR baths have a polished stainless steel support frame with heavy duty steel support legs. Even a heavy person won't flex the bath and jam the door shut while they are in their bath.
WINDSOR baths come complete with all tapware,plumbing and drainage parts needed.
WINDSOR baths are made of marine grade fibreglass, not plastic.
AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS COMPLIANCE some cheap imports have NO Australian Standards Compliance whatsoever. WINDSOR baths are fitted with all Australian compliant taps and all Australian sourced plumbing hardware to ensutre total standards compliance
