Wall bed installation: site-assessment checklist

Online descriptions cannot establish whether a wall, fixing or floor is suitable. Use this checklist to prepare the information needed for a site assessment. This page does not issue a structural PASS/FAIL or building approval.

Information to prepare

• Room measurements, clear opening space, door and lift dimensions.
• Photographs of the proposed wall and surrounding services; known wall construction and renovation history.
• Preferred bed size, use, selected mechanism/model and mattress.
• Building-management permissions and permitted work hours.

What the supplier must assess

The installation provider must establish the actual substrate, fixing design, geometry, anchor positions, condition, services, floor support and the selected product’s installation instructions. Generic per-anchor figures or evenly dividing a bed’s weight are not a substitute for this assessment.

Ask whether a qualified engineer or other appropriate professional must review your particular proposal. Do not drill, add anchors, assume a freestanding configuration is safe or rely on a generic exemption without appropriate advice.

Model-specific documents

• Mechanism identification and manufacturer installation instructions.
• Applicable load rating and what that rating measures.
• Required fixing/support conditions and operating clearance.
• Safety checks, user training and maintenance instructions.
• Written responsibility, installation scope and warranty.
