Comfort sanitary ware
VERSANI reunites functionality, well-being and aesthetics with its comfort sanitary ware range
Daar waar de meeste badkamer specialisten vandaag hun aanbod comfort sanitair beperken tot barrièrevrije elementen voor hulpbehoevende senioren of toilet accessoires voor rolstoelgebruikers, koos VERSANI in 2019 resoluut voor een holistische aanpak. Wonen in al zijn vormen is immers drastisch aan het veranderen, zo ook in de privébadkamer. VERSANI ging op zoek naar leveranciers partners die zowel veiligheid, functionaliteit, welzijn én esthetiek integreerden onder de noemer comfort sanitair. Specialist in een barrière vrije vormgeving, HEWI, bood VERSANI niet enkel een interactief productoverzicht op deze website, maar realiseerde – uniek in Vlaanderen – een totaalconcept van de hedendaagse badkamer voor mindervaliden in de VERSANI showroom.
Working towards creating a stylish, affordable senior bathroom
Today’s senior generation often prefers a bathtub over a shower stall with a folding seat. However, there’s usually not enough space in the old bathroom to convert both systems into a barrier-free sanitary area. Partners ARTWEGER and HSK offer an affordable alternative with their walk-in bathtubs. In our showroom you will find both the TWINLINE and the HSK DOBLA walk-in bath.
VERSANI translates inclusion into a stylish bathroom according to EU standards
Do you have no idea of the options and points of interest to make a toilet and bathroom barrier-free? Then the EU guidelines of the accessibility law for people with disabilities are a useful guideline. After all, specific rules and regulations apply at European level to ensure the accessibility of buildings, infrastructure and technologies for people with disabilities. These regulations target access to toilets in public places such as bars, restaurants and hotels, and promote the right to inclusion for all people. One of the reference provisions on accessibility is Directive 2010/32/EU. This sets concrete standards for toilets in healthcare environments. However, the principles can be equally applied to other public spaces. In addition, Directive 2010/35/EU provides standards to ensure the accessibility and safety of toilets in public places. Bathrooms with minimum dimensions must guarantee maneuvering and use of devices for persons with reduced mobility. The toilet, bidet, bath, shower must be accessible from the side, the sink from the front. They must meet minimum installation dimensions and ideally be equipped with handrails. The attached 2D plan shows the ideal setup within a minimum surface area, taking into account EU standards.
Raised, extended or antibacterial toilet? Why not a shower toilet?
Various different porcelain manufacturers now offer comfort solutions with either a raised or extended toilet, for example partners LAUFEN and Villeroy&Boch, possibly including an antibacterial treatment. However, only a shower toilet integrates the original added value of the bidet. Some manufacturers offer these systems with and without a drying function. VERSANI is the only sanitary wholesaler to have the DURAVIT Sensowash, the Villeroy&Boch ViClean and the complete GEBERIT Aquaclean gamma in operation in its showroom.
Painful joints, muscle complaints?
Whirlpool systems or an infra-red shower can offer an affordable solution.
Expensive medications for skin conditions, poor circulation, or sore muscles or joints can usually be reduced with the use of an infrared shower. These are available in various sizes, both built-in and surface-mounted. Besides their purchase price, their energy consumption is also low. A recommended, efficient infrared shower of 8 minutes consumes only €0.03.
Partner and expert in SUNSHOWER also offers combination infrared and UV systems.
Since the introduction of the new AREI in March 2025, these low-voltage electrical appliances may be permanently installed in showers in new construction and renovations with government approval. You can test both the built-in and surface-mounted versions in the VERSANI showroom.
If you don’t have room for a walk-in shower and prefer a bathtub, Villeroy & Boch whirlpool systems offer a solution. The massage jets of the hydrosystem significantly improve blood circulation and strengthen muscles.
VERSANI has a separate area above its showroom where you can try out both the hydromassage and spa systems. Our Italian partner NOVELLINI has an extensive range of wellness baths with a choice of various jets, with or without light therapy and RDS radio systems. But also at sheet steel manufacturer BETTE, a whirlpool can be optionally installed for any built-in bath. Please note, for freestanding baths – whether made of acrylic, Quaryl or sheet steel – hydro systems can only be installed in the base of the bath and not along the wall, on condition, of course, that there is a connection to the electrical network underneath the bath.
Washbasins at working height
Manufacturer HEWI with the renowned S 900 system and PRESSALIT offer with their sanitary aids for people with disabilities, stylish washbasins that are also extremely easy to maintain.
But our partner and Flemish manufacturer SLEURS GROUP has also developed fully customised bathroom furniture for seniors.
Premiums and advice
If you are 65 or older, the Flemish government offers an adjustment premium for certain sanitary renovation works, in addition to the reduced VAT rate of 6%.
For people with a disability under 65, VERSANI recommends consulting the Flemish Agency for Persons with a Disability (VAPH) via the website PREMIEZOEKER, in addition to consulting their health insurance fund.
For useful advice on renovation projects for people with disabilities and comfortable sanitary facilities, the magazine and activities of the neutral REVA is an excellent resource.
The VENPH, the Flemish European Network for People with Disabilities, can also provide advice and support regarding the accessibility of your home.
