The modern washroom not only looks clean, warm and welcoming but has become a highly efficient space that promotes heightened personal hygiene and eco-friendly credentials. Thanks to the advances in washroom design, it’s now possible to have a washroom that’s eco-friendly, anti-vandal and easy to clean while still showcasing the very best contemporary design.
Here are a few key elements in creating high-performance washrooms that deliver on all fronts.
Clean lines and the art of duct systems
Concealing pipework and services can bring your washroom a number of benefits and help deliver a longer life span to the room. Duct systems have become one of the best ways to do this as the easy access panels can be custom fit to any interior dimensions. The hidden void created behind the wall panels can be accessed for maintenance, but the users are left with a clean flush wall. This also makes the washroom much easier to sanitise and clean as exposed surface areas are reduced, while the cisterns and pipework are protected from accidental damage and vandalism.
Minimising annual running costs
By investing in sensor-activated features, your washroom will begin working to keep running costs to an absolute minimum. Sensor taps only emit water for a set period of time, reducing the amount of water used by a visitor. Waterless urinals are not connected to a mains feed or cistern and are kept clean and fresh by long-life cartridges installed in the waste outlet. In high traffic washrooms, each waterless urinal is estimated to deliver an annual saving of around £400 per year in water and sewerage costs. Infrared sensors can also be installed to trigger lighting, meaning the lights will only be on when someone is actually in the washroom. Finally, hand dryers remove the need to keep refilling paper towels and energy-efficient models can be used to keep the electricity costs to a minimum.
Stronger for longer
Through sensor activation and concealed services, not only is your washroom going to look great and be easy to use but with fewer moving parts, the life expectancy of materials and fittings is increased. Material choice also has a strong role to play in highly efficient washrooms. From hygienic wall cladding and safety flooring to solid grade laminate cubicles and vanity units, the customisation in colour and dimension on these materials means you no longer have to compromise your aesthetic for performance and durability. By embracing the best quality materials, you can give even the busiest bus station washroom an extended lifespan.
