What are product filters?

A quicker way to find the right product within a larger range

Some Independent 4 Life categories contain products with several different sizes, models, configurations or other characteristics. Rather than searching through every product individually, filters allow you to narrow the category to products matching the requirements you select.

The available filters change depending on the category. For example, you may be able to filter by Brand / Model, Width or other product-specific criteria.

01 Choose a category

Navigate to the type of product you need

Start by opening the relevant product category. You can use the main navigation menu, or the Quick Access links on one of our category pages.

Use the main menu

On desktop, hover over a main section such as Bathrooms to open its menu, then choose the category you require. In this example we are selecting Height-Adjustable Day-care Tables.

Or use Quick Access

Many of our category pages include a Been Here Before? Quick Access area. These links take you directly to a specific product family without needing to scroll through the whole page.

02 Select a filter

Open the Filter Products panel

Once you reach a product listing, the available filters are shown beside the products. Expand the filter group you want to use, then select the relevant option.

Tick the option you require

Here, Granberg - 332 has been selected. The product results will now be limited to products matching that filter.

01 Filter group

Headings such as Brand / Model or Width contain related options.

02 Arrow

Use the arrow to expand or collapse that group of filters.

03 Checkbox

A blue tick shows that a particular option is currently selected.

04 Number in brackets

Where shown, this indicates the number of matching products for that option.

03

Narrow the results further

Combine more than one filter

You are not limited to a single selection. Once one filter is active, open another filter group and select another requirement. The displayed products will continue to narrow as more criteria are applied.

01 Select the model

Begin by selecting a relevant Brand / Model, such as Granberg - 332.

02 Add a size

Open Width (Mm) and choose the width required where those options are available.

03 Add further requirements

Continue through any other filters relevant to that particular category.

04 Review the remaining products

The product listing will show the items matching the combination of filters you have selected.

Change your selection

Remove a filter or clear everything

Filters are not permanent. If you want to broaden the results again, you can remove a selection or clear the complete set of active filters.

Remove an individual option: untick a selected checkbox.
Clear a filter group: where an active filter group displays an × control, use it to clear that group's selection.
Start again: select Clear All to remove all active filters from the product listing.

Useful tips

Getting the most from product filters

01

Start with the most important requirement

If model or size is essential, select that first before applying less important criteria.

02

Watch the product counts

The number beside an option can help you see how much a particular selection will narrow the range.

03

Clear filters if the range becomes too narrow

If no suitable product remains, remove one of your criteria or use Clear All and try a broader search.
