Wudu ablution washing station joins specialist portfolio

Wudu literally means cleaning oneself in preparation for prayer. The communal act of washing before prayer is directed by the holy Quran. All Muslims must use clean water to wash hands and feet before performing salat (prayer) in Mosques, schools and places of Muslim worship all over the world.

To make refitting or installing this important area as cost effective and efficient as possible, Franke Washroom Systems has added a new Wudu Ablution/Washing Station to its portfolio of stainless steel commercial products. The new Wudu increases its range of products designed for the particular needs of different religions and cultures.

Based in Chesterfield, Franke Washroom Systems produces a diverse range of washroom and catering equipment for all types of commercial environments.

Stainless steel products for religious buildings, educational establishments, clinical and general hospital requirements as well as prisons and custody centres are a specialism.

These include all washroom requirements such as showers, basins, WCs, squat pans and urinals plus accessories such as water fountains and janitorial and commercial kitchen products. Much of the product range is produced here in the UK in Derbyshire at the company's state of the art manufacturing plant.

The new Franke Washroom Systems' Wudu Ablution Washing Station range is made of high-grade 1.5mm 304 stainless steel with a satin finish. Wudu is available as a two person unit measuring 1200mm or alternatively as a single person unit measuring 700mm, but can be made to any length to suit.

Each unit has 1 or 2 non-concussive (self-closing) Bib tap/s as well as a hinged grid that aids washing and which can be lifted for easy cleaning and maintenance. A washing station may be supplied in left or right hand versions and each has a domed waste with quick access to plumbing connections via a hidden access panel. Complementing seats are also available as an optional extra.
