Advice On Wall & Ceiling Mounting Equipment
It is important to ensure that your Changing Places equipment is installed correctly to ensure it is safe for users. There are usually several options for how to install the equipment, including wall, ceiling and floor mounting. Kingkraft can help you to ensure you make safe decisions regarding the fitting of equipment for your project.
Planning The First Fix
Planning ahead is absolutely key when managing the project build of a Changing Place.
The 'First Fix' refers to all structural work which must be done correctly prior to the installation of any internal surfaces and equipment. For example, Changing Place products such as Changing Tables and Hoists will determine the wall/ceiling strengthening required during the first fix phase. This stage also includes installation of plumbing and heating, as well as the wiring of the electrics. It is vital that power and water access are located in the correct place for your Changing Place equipment.
Kingkraft can support and advise you about what you need to consider for successful completion of First Fix for your project.
