PUR for rehabilitation

Wet Room Furniture - Protective and Comfortable

Wet room furniture for the rehab sector
Ropox is among the world's leading specialists in assistive devices and furniture for people with disabilities, as well as equipment for occupational and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation.

The Ropox products are recognised and appreciated worldwide for their high quality, flexibility and great user-friendliness.

Unique material for the rehab sector
Tinby casts a range of the polyurethane foam parts that are part of Ropox’s products, for example the bathing seat and back for the shower tip-up seat, and the lamellae for the changing/shower bed that are all cast in the same flexible polyurethane foam.

Polyurethane foam is particularly suitable for the rehab sector as PUR - because of its softness - protects the user from bumps and injuries while also having grip-friendly surfaces. Also, the material is robust, with great durability, and will easily withstand daily use.

PUR insulates, feels comfortable – and not cold – against the skin. Thus, the material is very suitable for furniture parts getting in physical contact with the users.

Water-repellent and easy to clean
The shown Ropox products are used in wet rooms. So, the PUR used has been given a water-repelling and non-slip surface and is easy to clean with regular soapy water.

Facts about the PUR

What the client has to say

”We see the PUR parts of our products as the most important, as this is where the user comes into physical contact with the products. So, during development of these parts, there were many high demands for, for example, colour tone, hardness, waterproof and non-slip properties, etc. Furthermore, the cast had to be of optimum quality on all sides of the products. This complicated development, but luckily, Tinby found the right mix of material composition and production process, so that all demands were met and the product came together nicely.”
