FAQs
What type of environments is the Vario height-adjustable couch suitable for?
The Vario is designed for dry changing areas where a shower is not required, such as school hygiene rooms, SEND settings, care homes, clinics, and assisted toileting/changing facilities.
What structural support is needed for installation?
The Vario must be fixed to a load-bearing wall capable of supporting both static and dynamic loads. Blockwork, reinforced stud walls, steel supports, or appropriately strengthened partitions are typically required.
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL)?
The Vario has an SWL of 200 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of child and adult users in care and education environments.
What is the height-adjustment range?
The couch adjusts from 300 mm to 1000 mm, providing a 700 mm range. This allows carers of different heights to achieve a safe working position and comply with manual handling guidelines.
Does the Vario fold away when not in use?
Yes. The couch folds vertically against the wall to a depth of 250 mm, making it suitable for rooms where clear space is needed when the couch is not in use.
What lengths are available?
The Vario is available in 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, and 1900 mm options, allowing architects to specify a size appropriate to the user group and room layout.
What are the key dimensional considerations for room planning?
Folded depth: 250 mm
In-use depth: 880 mm (including safety rail)
Surface depth: 700 mm
Ensure sufficient clear space for carers to work safely on both sides of the couch
Is the Vario suitable for wet rooms or shower areas?
No. The Vario is intended for dry rooms only. For wet or shower environments, a specialist shower changing bench should be specified instead.
How is the couch cleaned and maintained?
The padded surface and frame have a smooth, easy-clean finish suitable for routine wiping and infection control procedures. The simple structure also reduces points where moisture or cleaning debris can accumulate.
Are BIM/Revit files available?
Yes. BIM/Revit families and CAD drawings can be supplied to support layout design, coordination, and clash detection.
Does the couch include safety features?
Yes. The Vario includes folding safety rails for user reassurance and a locking catch that secures the couch when folded.
