As every Changing Place Toilet requires a privacy screen, Astor Bannerman have teamed with KwickScreen to provide a wall mounted privacy screen that is very simple to pull into place and retract easily with one hand. It is a privacy screen that is used in every NHS Trust in England, designed alongside microbiologists to ensure ultimate infection control.  There are no track or rails for entanglement or harboring of germs, and the privacy screen itself is easily cleaned using standard medical cleaning products. And to make it even more appealing, this privacy screen can be customised with an image of your choice.

In a Changing Places toilet, the WC should not be visible from the door opening and a Privacy Screen is often used so that a WC can be separated from the carer to give some privacy within the room.  It maybe that there are other children in the room too as well as the person using the facilities, and their carer.  A screen is a really important inclusion within a room to offer privacy in a variety of different circumstances.  Therefore a flexible solution is critical.

In addition, the screen can be printed both sides with a image of your choice giving the wonderful opportunity to add a personal touch to the room.  You may decided to add a local scenic photo, add an image relevant to your venue, or simply to add an image to make people smile.  the choice is yours, but the addition of an image can transform an otherwise utilitarian room into a talking point.

The KwickScreen wall mounted privacy screen is water resistant and corrosion free, so is suitable to be used in a Changing Places Toilet that includes a shower.

Removable for Occasional Use

Where a fixed privacy screen may not be feasible, Astor Bannerman can supply a mobile Privacy Screen. This option is usually a heavy duty 10mm steel chassis base with screens from 1.68 to 2.6 metres wide and the screen folds neatly away when not in use.

Changing Places Specifications: Privacy Screen

A curtain or screen should be provided between the toilet and the rest of the room. This provides privacy for people who, having been assisted into position on the toilet, are then able to use it unaided.

A Privacy Screen also allows an assistant to use the toilet in privacy if it is not appropriate for the person they are accompanying to be left alone outside the room.

• Wall-­mounted retractable screens or free­ standing folding screens are preferred as they take up minimal space when fully retracted but provide the necessary privacy when extended.
• When retracted, wall­-mounted screens should not obstruct the space to the side of the WC.
• Ceiling-mounted curtain tracks or fixed rails are unlikely to be suitable as they may obstruct the ceiling-track hoist.
