Non electrical question - disabled bidet

[m4tty]

Hi,

I've got a customer who I've done a lot of work for 25% electrical rest odd jobs, painting decorating, carpentry etc etc.

The guy is in his 60/70's and suffers with Parkinson's I believe. Has to use a zimmer to get around and motorised scooter.

They have asked me to increase the height of the bidet in their upstairs toilet.

I was planning to take it out build a plinth on the floor and fix one to the wall as its got to come out 3 inches from the wall and 4.5 inches up from the floor.

Original plan was hardwood but going to be expensive so was thinking marine ply for strength.

I know it's not electrical but any suggestions guys

Thanks

Matt

4 x 2 to make sturdy base fixed to the floor, piece of either 18mm ply or 20mm chipboard flooring to top off. Paint, fix a piece of carpet what ever you choose, fix bidet. you can always line the 4 x 2 afterwards with something a little more decorative.

That would do it M4tty , some planed timber and blockboard or marine ply.

If you go to a specialist mobility supplier they will be able to get plinths designed exactly for this

Disabled Products | Cheap Doc M Packs| Grab Rails | Disabled Toilets

You can get them in different heights, up to about 100mm I think

Whatever you use, dont use Chipboard

It's being fitted to a raised floor already made out of ....... Chipboard ffs but I'm using external ply 18mm and shaping it to the bottom of bidet. I'll take some pictures when it's finished

Chipboard ! that is what Maccydees use for their buns when they have run out of MDF...WBP or marine ply, the thicker the better............ :coat

try to get some as 'thick as a G4S Chairman', that would do nicely but may be a bit too thick!
