Materials for Accessible Sanitary Equipment – Quality, Durability and Sustainability

When designing accessible bathrooms, the choice of the right materials plays a crucial role. The products from Erlau are made of high-quality aluminium, stainless steel and plastic to ensure maximum safety, durability and sustainability. Each material offers individual advantages and meets the highest standards of functionality and design.

Aluminium is an ideal material for accessible sanitary equipment as it offers high strength with low weight. Especially for grab rails, hinged support rails, and shower grab rails, aluminium ensures safe use without unnecessarily burdening the wall structure.

✔ Rust-free and corrosion-resistant – ideal for use in damp environments
✔ Low weight – facilitates installation and use
✔ High stability and load capacity – for maximum safety
✔ Sustainable and recyclable – aluminium is 100% recyclable

Stainless steel is the perfect choice for highly demanding areas. Thanks to its high resistance to scratches, moisture, and chemical influences, stainless steel is excellently suited for the public and commercial sectors.

✔ Extremely durable and resistant – withstands the highest loads
✔ Hygienic and easy to maintain – especially important in medical and care facilities
✔ Elegant design – ideal for modern, stylish bathrooms
✔ Environmentally friendly – stainless steel can be fully recycled and reused

For certain accessible applications, high-quality plastic is the ideal solution. Specially coated surfaces provide non-slip, grippy textures that offer additional support in wet areas. Plastic solutions are also available in various colours to create orientation aids – for example, for dementia-friendly bathroom solutions.

✔ Easy to clean and durable – optimal for daily use
✔ Colour adaptation for better orientation – especially helpful for accessible and dementia-friendly bathrooms
✔ Sustainable production – modern plastics are durable and recyclable

Sustainability – Responsibility for Environment and Future

Erlau relies on sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production processes.
