Frequently Asked Questions
How does this seat differ from the other Roper Rhodes shower seats?
The 8020 is the mid-range option — it folds flat and has a 160kg capacity, but does not have the detachable bracket of the TR7001 (£55) or the soft-close mechanism and 200kg capacity of the Lux 8030 (£139). It's the straightforward, reliable folding seat in the range.
Is this seat suitable for bariatric use?
Yes — the seat is rated to 160kg (25 stone), making it suitable for bariatric applications. For higher weight requirements, see the Roper Rhodes Lux (8030) which is rated to 200kg.
What wall types is this suitable for?
The seat can be mounted on any solid wall capable of supporting the load. For stud or timber-framed walls, additional reinforcement may be required. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
Does it come with fixings?
Yes — all wall mounting hardware and fixings are supplied, along with installation instructions.
What are the dimensions when folded?
When folded, the seat measures 350mm wide × 117mm high, sitting flush against the wall to keep your shower space clear.
Is this VAT exempt for disabled users?
Shower seats for disabled or chronically sick individuals may qualify for VAT relief under UK law. Please consult HMRC guidance or speak to your installer for eligibility. We recommend checking with a tax professional before purchase.
