More Details
Points to consider:
. Space and location in the laundry relate to the size of tub chosen and the location of plumbing outlets and the washing machine. The washing machine waste water drainage is often through an outlet in the tub or the tub itself, via a hose connection. Laundry tubs are deeper than kitchen sinks which the standard AS1428.2-1993 recommends be less than 150 mm deep. Seated access is limited and tends to be side on at a standard laundry tub. A tub installed in a bench (or stand) does allow some room for wheelchair footplates underneath. Insulating the underneath of the tub is recommended to prevent burns. The height can also be set as required, which can assist standing users who are trying to limit bending.
. Taps should be easy to reach and control. In the laundry, taps are commonly installed in the rear wall above the tub, but can be set at bench level and have the potential to be set at the side of the tub.
. Cost to purchase and install.
. Warranty terms and conditions.
Available features:
. Stainless steel
. Single or double sink
. Single rinse by-pass option
. In built overflow.
. For further information check Choice magazine, the Yellow Pages of the telephone book and talk to a retailer.
