Bathrooms for life
Ideally, your bathroom
should be as fresh as you are!
Most of us would like to continue to live at home for as long
as possible. Today, many of us are healthier, more active and
happier in our old age than ever before. That is perhaps why
we value our bathrooms even more – because we have more
time to enjoy them.
Ifö’s bathrooms are designed for life – offering optimum
functionality. And they look great too! With a bathroom from
Ifö there is no need to choose between comfort or design.
All you need to do is keep an open mind when planning your
new bathroom or giving your old one a facelift.

Small yet important details
that make life a little easier
One advantage of the Ifö Space 2000
shower enclosure is that the doors open
both inward and outward, making it easy
for you to enter and exit the shower. The
shower should be spacious enough to fit

space around the WC unit and wash basin.
wall may also be a good idea.
Space is also needed for wheelchairs, walking
frames and rollators. The wash basin needs to
be large and have nearby storage surfaces.
The dimensions of the wash basin should be
generous and its depth shallow in order to
allow a wheelchair user’s legs to fit underneath.
The mirror, towel holder, soap dispenser,
tap and any cupboards should be
positioned so that they can be used by a
wheelchair user without help.
The shower should not be separated from
the rest of the bathroom by a threshold or
a significant change in floor level. A curved
floor joint that can easily be negotiated by
a wheelchair or rollator may be an option if
your do require separation.

The flush button – a small yet
important detail. Ifö offers a flush
button with a raised edge for easy
use. Alternatively, you could have
a red button that is easy to spot.
If you suffer from stiff joints, weak muscles,
balance problems or dizzy spells it may be a
good idea to have arm rests fitted to the WC unit.
Ifö Support arm rests are delivered with two
toilet tissue holders to be fitted to the arm rests
themselves. This means that the toilet tissue is
always within easy reach, both on the right and on
the left side. The arm rests can be raised vertically
when not in use, thus freeing up space around the
WC unit.
The height of the WC unit is also important.
An elevated WC unit makes sitting down and
standing up easier. Ifö’s high WC units are
four centimetres higher than our standard
units. This gives an approximate seating

Ifö is synonymous with quality.
It is a good thing that life is full of changes. Imagine how dull it would be
otherwise! Change also means that what suited you perfectly at one stage
in your life may be less practical at another stage. This also applies to the
bathroom where reality determines what works for you. In order to avoid
having to constantly refurbish your bathroom, Ifö’s products have been
designed to allow you to adapt or add features with an attractive and
harmonious result. Ifö’s products make the pieces fit together.
