When installed correctly as per the supplied installation guides, the Metlam Australia products which are advertised as being accessible compliant do meet the AS1428.1-2009 standard.  

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the surface/substrate that the unit is installed upon is suitable to withstand the weight-bearing loads of the unit and if required as per AS1428 / Australian building code regulations.

These signs are used for accessible bathrooms and they denote the direction of transfer onto the toilet. The easiest way to decide which sign you need is to imagine you are seated on the toilet in the accessible bathroom in question and take note of which side the grab rail beside you is on. Generally, a right-hand transfer grab rail requires a right-hand sign and vice versa.

For more information on how to order your signage click on the link here.

Hinge handing is determined by the visibility of the hinge when looking at the door. If you are looking at the door and the hinge is visible on the Right-Hand side, it is a RIGHT-HAND hinge. If you are looking at the door and the hinge is visible on the Left-Hand side, it is a LEFT-HAND hinge.

Ambulant toilets are specifically designed for those with ambulant disabilities that do not require the extra space that is provided by Accessible toilets. Primarily, they are for those that do not require the use of a wheelchair, for example, those with sensory loss, arthritis or require the use of a walking frame.

Accessible toilets are specifically designed to provide enough space to accommodate wheelchair access and assistance when transferring from wheelchair to toilet. Accessible toilets include features such as lower mirrors and washbasins, contrasting toilet seat colour, grab rails and braille signage.

To see the Metlam Australia Range of Ambulant and Accessible Packages, please visit our Package Solutions page.

• GRAVITY HINGES have no mechanical components and therefore assist the door to move towards Hold Open or Hold Closed Position. Gravity Hinges cannot be adjusted.
• SPRING HINGES include mechanical components that allow for door movement to Hold Open or Hold Closed. Spring Hinges can be adjusted or tensioned to determine the force (this is done on-site by the installer).

To ensure the correct fixings are supplied, Metlam Autralia needs to know the board thickness of the cubicle material (applies for Screw Fix and Bolt Through set up). If board thickness is not specified at the time of ordering Metlam Australia will provide the largest fixings available. Fixings can be cut down on site to suit board thickness required.

Metlam Australia recommends 3 hinges per door to prevent the door bowing.

All Metlam Australia Grab Rails have been tested and evaluated to withstand 1100N force applied in any position or direction as specified in the standard AS1428.1 for the manufacture and design of Grab Rails. When installed correctly, and used in an intended manner our Grab Rails are compliant with AS1428.1.
Compliance does not cover the installation of Metlam Australia Grab Rails. It is the responsibility of the installer to use adequate fixings, fixing methods and siting in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards

A few factors are involved when determining the correct shower curtain size for your installation.

Width:

1. Track Length: Measure the track length of where the shower curtain will hang. Example:1200mm + 1200mm= 2400mm (L-Shaped Track).

2. Desired Curtain Gather: Decide how much gather you would like the curtain to have; this is often a personal preference.  Metlam Australia provides a standard curtain gather allowance as an example.

Once you have these measurements, you can calculate the total width of the shower curtain.

Please see the example below:

Total Width = Track Length x Curtain Gather

Example:  2400mm (track length) x 1.25 (curtain gather allowance) = 3000mm (total width of curtain required)

Length/Drop:

Drop Length of Curtain: What height is the track installed? Measure from the bottom of the shower track to the Finished Floor Level.
Please keep in mind, to allow approximately 50mm clearance from the floor to the bottom of the curtain (this ensures the curtain is not dragging on the floor creating a hazard).

Please remember to double-check your measurements and consider any variations based on the type of track or curtain you are using.

When ordering your required shower curtain, you'll need measurements of the total width and drop length of the shower curtain.
