Safe, Robust, and Inclusive Shower Controls for Diverse Needs
)
In secure environments, it’s essential to minimise ligature risk while still supporting users who may have mobility issues. Horne’s ligature-resistant controls achieve both - combining safety and accessibility within a single, robust fitting. The shower controls - resilient die-cast zinc, with protective chromium plate - feature an exceptionally low-torque mechanism that allows smooth, effortless operation (test with a closed fist) of both the on-off and multi-turn temperature controls. This thoughtful balance of safety, durability and ease of use makes them ideal for settings where protection and dignity must go hand in hand.
Inclusive design for
all users
For accessible applications, our lever controls embrace inclusive design
principles — enabling intuitive operation for individuals with arthritis, limb
differences or reduced hand strength. Each control is distinct in both shape
and function: the on-off lever operates with a simple quarter-turn, while the
temperature control rotates through 360° for precise adjustment. Contrasting
colours further aid differentiation, supporting users with diminished sight to
identify and operate each control confidently. Crafted from the same premium,
chromium-plated die-cast zinc, they combine lasting durability with
user-centred design to promote autonomy, comfort and reassurance.
By uniting robust
construction with inclusive functionality, Horne’s shower controls provide a
trusted, enduring solution across secure, accessible-design and healthcare
environments.
