This Floor Mounted Folding Rail was bought for a customer of mine whose wife had managed to pull the electric towel rail off the wall. She was using it as an aid to lift herself off the toilet. As with many properties these days the walls are just stud and plaster board so anything wall mounted would not last. This floor mounted model fitted the bill nicely and with 6 bolts attaching it to the concrete floor, it's good and solid so gives confidence to the user. J Haynes
