Introducing the new Silk Black Doc M Collection from Armitage Shanks

It's always exciting to bring you something new, especially when it's a range that truly blends style with unbeatable functionality. So, let's talk about the latest arrival here at James Hargreaves: the brand-new Silk Black Doc M Collection from Armitage Shanks.

Now, if you're a seasoned professional, you'll know that Doc M compliance is absolutely vital for accessible washrooms. But for too long, 'accessible' has sometimes meant compromising on aesthetics. Well, those days are firmly behind us.

Accessibility Meets Modern Style

Armitage Shanks, with over 200 years of experience crafting ceramics and decades of expertise in accessible washroom design, has truly outdone themselves. They've taken their trusted Doc M solutions and given them a stunning, contemporary twist with this Silk Black finish. It’s a bold look that brings an air of sophistication to any space, from luxury hotels to modern offices, and even high-end restaurants.

This collection isn't just about looking good; it's built for real-world performance, designed to stand up to frequent use. Every single pack meets all the requirements of Approved Document Part M, ensuring full compliance and supporting accessibility and inclusivity in commercial and public settings.

What's in the Collection?

You'll find a comprehensive choice of packs to suit any project, with nine different WC packs covering left and right-handed options across close-coupled, back-to-wall, and wall-hung configurations. Plus, there's a fully compliant Silk Black shower pack.

Here's a quick look at some of the thoughtful details:

• Design-Led Finish: The hardwearing, easy-clean silk black finish on grab rails and accessories means they're built to last and look fantastic.
• Smart Design: Basin-equipped packs feature offset washbasins, making side approach easier and optimising space.
• Coordinated Fittings: Every detail matters. You’ll find matching black thermostatic basin mixers, spatula cistern levers, and flush plates for that consistent, polished look.
• Hygiene & Usability: WC bowls feature generous 75cm projections for easier transfers, and many include rimless flush technology for improved hygiene. Plus, TMV3-approved thermostatic basin mixers and shower valves safeguard against scalding – a critical requirement in many environments.

Whether you’re a professional working on a large commercial project or a homeowner looking to create an accessible yet stylish bathroom, this range provides everything you need for a quick specification and hassle-free installation. It really does redefine what accessibility can look like.
