FSB
FSB is a wellknown name to many end customers in the field of hardware for doors and windows. As a specialist in the subject of handles and grips, FSB has made it its business over the years to ensure that people can live accessibility comfortably with FSB products. The FSB ErgoSystem makes all bathroom processes much easier, whether you live with or without a handicap.
FSB – barrier-free solutions for the bathroom
FSB (Franz Schneider Brakel GmbH & Co KG) can actually be called a pioneer in the field of accessibility. FSB, actually at home in the doors and windows sector, has transferred its expertise to the design of barrier-free products for the sanitary area. Well-designed products not only know how to inspire the end customer, but also how to help him significantly. Whether window handle, door handle or handles for the bathtub, shower or washbasin - FSB has years of expertise in the field of "handles and grips" to show for it. The Handform design launched by Johannes Potente has been characteristic of FSB since 1950. With the ErgoSystem®, FSB established a product range on the market in 2003 that is entirely geared to the needs of handicapped and elderly people and is concerned with the handle arrangement in the room, no longer just with the handle itself.
FSB ErgoSystem®
The ErgoSystem® from FSB combines the expertise of architecture and ergonomics. FSB sees the system as a "design for all" concept that addresses the needs of people of all ages. The cornerstone is the range of handles made of matt stainless steel in various designs and handle lengths. The basic principle here follows the guidelines of gripper ergonomics. A diagonal alignment of an oval cross-section makes optimum gripping quality possible with little effort. In the meantime, there is not only the ErgoSystem® E300, but also the ErgoSystem® A100 for a smaller budget. This system, made of powder-coated aluminum, convinces with an innovative color concept and high comfort, ergonomics and appealing design.
The features of the FSB ErgoSystem® are not only convincing for hospitals. The use of the system is also becoming increasingly popular in student residences, luxury hotels and care facilities. Whether at the WC, in the shower or around the washbasin: the issue of accessibility is becoming increasingly important. The Ergo-System® is a popular solution for addressing this issue and creating a barrier-free environment in no time at all. Thanks to its A-Flex components, the system is flexible and can be installed at short notice wherever it is needed. Due to its discreet design, the FSB system blends into any possible environment without taking center stage as a clinical functional object.
A brief overview:
ErgoSystem® A100: Made of aluminum, the system can be inconspicuously integrated into any bathroom interior thanks to its wide range of color variants and finishes. ErgoSystem® E300: Made of stainless steel, the system can be used as a premium system for all barrier-free areas. It is characterized by the unique diagonal orientation of the oval handle cross-section and ensures a secure hold for every user. The system includes a range of grab rails, folding support rails and seating solutions with the option for functional extensions.
A-Flex System: Flexible & demand-oriented
The A-Flex System is particularly noteworthy. All support handles can be flexibly mounted or dismounted using the A-Flex System. A small plate covers the support in a stylish and visually appropriate way. With A-Flex, FSB offers hoteliers or hospital operators with elective service areas in particular the option of equipping rooms with barrier-free components from the FSB ErgoSystem® as and when required, so as to be able to respond flexibly and in line with individual or acutely changing requirements. This applies, for example, to young guests in a hotel for whom barrier-free aids in the bathroom are not actually required but suddenly become necessary due to an acute injury - such as during a winter vacation.
FSB Grip System
The FSB Grip System offers optimal help for self-help and thus also has a strong social component. It promotes activity, conveys safety and thus noticeably increases the quality of life. The high utility value of the ErgoSystem was expressly confirmed in an expert report by the Society for Gerontology. Care was taken to keep the handles always in the oval grip shape of the human hand. The concise design elements of the functional FSB handle system are consistently transferred to the complementary accessories. They thus offer a consistent design in the shower, bathtub, washbasin and WC areas. Here, too, knowledge of gripping has led to individual solutions: For example, the toothbrush tumbler is angled towards the user in its holder, while the handle of the toilet brush is already in the removal direction and adjusts itself automatically when put down. This reduces the required arm and hand movements to a minimum. Whether made of bronze, stainless steel or aluminum, in glossy or matt finish - FSB products are available in a variety of materials and designs.
Bad accessories FSB METRIC®
It is not only functional aspects that play a role in a bathroom, there are also design aspects that make the bathroom a place of well-being. The bathroom has developed into a place of rest and relaxation, where a pleasant atmosphere plays a key role. As a result, more and more natural elements are being used in the bathroom and FSB is also responding to this trend with FSB METRIC®. FSB relies on geometric shapes and high-quality materials for its accessories. Those who are reluctant to attach their bathroom accessories using a screw technology can also attach them using a reliable adhesive technology.
Quality and durability
What makes FSB products stand out? Clearly the quality and durability. FSB relies on manufacturing with state-of-the-art technology and the use of high-quality materials and components. In addition, the aspect of hygiene plays a decisive role, especially in the case of the FSB ErgoSystem®. The absence of seams and butt joints makes cleaning easier and ensures hygienically clean surfaces. High-quality materials paired with a discreet and timeless design suit any interior style.
