Foldaway toilet innovator, Hidealoo, is celebrating after securing a kbb Innovation ‘People’s Choice Award’, voted for by those in the trades, and a European Product Design Award.
The Hidealoo frame allows a toilet pan to be swivelled through 90 degrees, meaning it to be concealed within a cabinet or wall recess. This aids the installation of toilets in small and hard to fit spaces, as well as creating new opportunities for households to increase their facilities.
The frame can hold up to 400kg in weight and has been tested through 250,000 uses. While 25% of current installations are within traditional bathrooms, the majority are being used to fit toilets in locations such as utility rooms and lofts.
Monty Ravenscroft, founder, said: “It’s taken more than five years of development, engineering and testing to perfect the Hidealoo and we’re delighted to see the frame’s unique potential being recognised.”
