AKW is a bathroom specialist that develops supplies to cater those that have accessibility needs -- recently, it launched a set of white tiles and accessories. The latest range is glare-free and is specially created for those who suffer from dementia and the visually impaired.
The bumpy finish of the tiles reduce light reflection and the white design makes it versatile for any bathroom aesthetics. It is constructed using a material called 'zircon' to enable an extra white finish, which is proven to help those losing sight or have dementia. The bright finishing coat initiates a vast contrast against other bathroom supplies such as grab rails, seats, and painted areas to aid those in better navigation in the bathroom.
