The point of departure in the design of Kavika’s edge traps 9059 and 9059V was to improve accessibility in everyday living environments.
Together with the threshold trap 9057, the edge trap forms an accessible combination at floor level, which makes it easier for a disabled person to move around and improves safety in the use of technical aids.

Edge traps are highly suitable for creating accessible wet areas for inhabitants with functional limitations in modern sheltered housing settings (e.g. according to Väinö Korpinen Oy’s Gaius bathroom solution models). Potential applications include nursing homes and individual apartments, community homes and apartment groups designed for people with functional limitations, for example according to the housing network model developed by the Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland (ARA). The low structure of the edge traps makes them highly suitable for wet areas of all kinds both in new construction and renovation projects.

The edge trap 9059 is equipped with a waterless trap and the edge trap 9059V with a floor drain trap fitted with a water seal.

Edge trap 9059

The edge trap 9059 is a floor drain trap equipped with a waterless trap. The trap is intended to be used next to the bathroom wall to allow the floor slope towards the trap for the entire width of the bathroom. This facilitates the use of technical aids as they rest securely against a floor that is gently sloped in one direction only, which reduces the risk of falling, compared to a traditional floor drain solution.

Further information

The width of Kavika’s edge trap is less than 140 mm, which makes it possible to place the trap between a wall and a toilet seat. The edge trap has a 50 mm raised rear edge. The edge trap is recommended to be so dimensioned as to leave space for a floor tile on both sides of the edge trap. The edge trap 9059V is equipped with a water seal and the edge trap 9059 with a waterless trap. The discharge pipe may be located in the centre or at the end of the trap.

The cover is made of several parts, which makes the trap considerably easier to clean.
