New Wuduseat for prayer rooms

Dedicated solution for the Muslim ritual washing required before prayer has been launched, and is set to become a standard fixture in all multi-faith prayer rooms.

The WuduSeat is the first commercially available new sanitaryware item developed for over 100 years and provides a hygienic and easy-to-use facility that is configurable to meet the specific needs of Muslims in the workplace.

"The demand for multi-faith facilities in every walk of life is growing every day as corporate and social responsibility gathers pace," commented Clive Bromilow, spokesman for the Specialist Washing Company, the company behind the WuduSeat.

Many architects are now incorporating prayer facilities at the design stage of developments, regretfully however often omitting accompanying washing facilities; based on a Court of Appeal ruling in September last year between Ellis Vs Bristol City Council, companies could be liable if there is an accident caused by spillage from inadequate washing facilities".

"The WuduSeat is the first product available in the marketplace that can be specified for any new build or refurbishment project, which will enable Muslim staff or visitors to undertake their cleansing ritual 'Wudu' in one single, purpose built, hygienic receptacle, preventing spillage".

"Presently, when away from home, there is rarely anywhere suitable for washing of the feet which is part of Wudu, so this is undertaken in hand-basins, raising a number of health and safety issues.

Every commercial building should have at least one faithroom, with appropriate washing facilities for both employees and visitors".

Made from sanitary-grade acrylic, the WuduSeat is robust and hardwearing, plus easy to keep clean.

Installation is easy, as it only requires standard plumbing.

A comprehensive range of accessories is also available, including grab rails for disability requirements to comply with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act).

The WuduSeat's unique design minimises splashing and overspill - keeping the floor clean and dry; thus reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring that secondary damage is not done to the fabric of the building.
