In assisted living, comfort and functionality are key to enhancing residents' quality of life. The choice of bathroom fixtures plays a crucial role, especially when it comes to vanity units. L & B Solid Surfaces, a leading fabricator located in Sheffield, elevates the standard of vanity units by offering custom-made solutions tailored specifically to the diverse needs of assisted living facilities.


This blog post will explore the distinctive features of these bespoke vanity units, the materials used, and the meticulous process behind their creation.


The Importance of Customisation in Assisted Living


Assisted living facilities serve individuals with a wide range of needs and preferences. Standard bathroom fixtures often fall short of meeting these varied requirements, especially regarding accessibility and ease of use.


By investing in custom-made vanity units, facilities ensure that each design aligns with the unique needs of their residents. This not only improves the bathroom's overall appearance but also fosters a sense of independence and comfort, essential for enhancing the daily lives of those who use them.


For instance, facilities can incorporate lower countertops for wheelchair users or additional grab bars in their vanity units to make them more user-friendly. Research shows that environments designed to meet these specific needs can improve residents’ satisfaction, highlighting the vital role of customisation.


Craftsmanship at Its Best


L & B Solid Surfaces is known for its exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. Each vanity unit starts with a simple sketch, which serves as a continuation of design into a completed product tailored to client specifications.


Once the design receives final approval, skilled artisans construct the units with Tristone Solid Surfaces. This material stands out for its strength, seamless finish, and ease of maintenance. Notably, Tristone's non-porous surface reduces bacterial growth, making it a preferred option for creating hygienic environments, especially in healthcare settings.

Innovative Features of the Vanity Units


L & B Solid Surfaces delivers several unique features within their vanity units that set them apart from standard offerings.


Seamless Bowl Design


A key feature is the seamless bowl design, which not only enhances the unit's visual appeal but also simplifies cleaning. With no joints or seams, cleaning is quick and efficient, promoting a hygienic environment. This feature is especially critical for assisted living facilities, where maintaining cleanliness can directly impact residents' health.


Square Upstands


The square upstands add a modern flair to the vanity units while providing extra protection from water damage. This is particularly advantageous in assisted living facilities, where spills and splashes are daily occurrences. Research shows that water damage can lead to costly repairs, for facilities that lack water-resistant designs.


Top & Side Mounted Access Panels


Top & Side mounted access panels, secured with special screws, make plumbing and electrical components easily accessible. This design ensures functionality while maintaining aesthetic qualities, simplifying maintenance tasks over time.


Cladding and Finishing Touches


To boost durability and visual consistency, vanity units are clad with Tristone again. This approach not only creates a streamlined look but provides additional protection against daily wear and tear.


Designed to blend seamlessly with the overall unit, face-mounted access panels combine functionality with a sophisticated design, adding to the unit's overall appeal.
