The Ponte Giulio Bathtub Folding Bench with HPL Top (Series SKUs: G25JDS18 & G25JDS19) is a commercial-grade, wall-mounted bathtub seating solution engineered specifically for alcove tub configurations, universal design residential developments, and commercial ADA-compliant rest areas. Designed to span across standard tub enclosures, this folding bench combines a 10 mm thick High Pressure Laminate (HPL / Phenolic) seat surface with a heavy-duty stainless steel internal chassis. The structural frame is enclosed in a warm-touch antimicrobial vinyl coating incorporating BioCote® silver ion technology. An integrated internal tension hinge controls the folding motion, securing the bench flat against the wall when stowed.

Key Performance & Construction Features

  • 450-Pound Vertical Static Load Rating: Engineered for structural rigidity, allowing the bench platform to span across standard bathtub alcoves while meeting commercial accessibility standards.
  • BioCote® Silver Ion Antimicrobial Protection: Integrated directly into the 3 mm exterior vinyl coating, BioCote® technology permanently inhibits the growth of bacteria, molds, and fungi by up to 99.9%.
  • 10mm High-Pressure Laminate (HPL) Top: The non-porous, warm-touch phenolic surface in White with Speckles resists scratching, impact, mold, and harsh sanitation chemicals.
  • Internal AISI 304 Stainless Steel Frame: The structural skeleton is fabricated from 304-grade stainless steel to ensure complete rust resistance in wet environments.
  • Controlled Friction Tension Hinge: Features an internal friction-hinge mechanism that holds the bench flat against the wall tile when stowed and controls the pivot motion during deployment.
  • Dual Tub Width Sizing: Available in 27-3/16" width (fitting 28"–30" tubs) and 31-1/8" width (fitting 30"–32" tubs) for precise installation across various alcove dimensions.
  • Wood Stud Mounting Package Included: Supplied complete with heavy-duty structural mounting hardware for direct structural wood stud or wall blocking installation.

Regulatory Compliance & Installation Notes

To ensure full ADA and building code compliance:

  • ADA Compliance: When mounted securely into solid wood studs or approved structural wall blocking at the correct height, this bathtub bench meets federal ADA specifications for bathtub seating and load capacity.
  • Structural Anchoring Requirement: Wall mounting flanges must be anchored directly into solid wood studs or structural wall blocking capable of supporting the rated 450-pound vertical static load.
