WASHROOM
CREATING A COMMERCIAL WASHROOM
Products like flow-limiting touchless taps, hand dryers, reduced splash sanitaryware and the use of anti-microbial coatings on countertops, taps and toilet seats are key to an increasing hygiene in washrooms.
It’s for this reason that facilities managers are becoming increasingly involved in the conversation when it comes to specification. By sharing ideas more at an earlier stage in the design process, it means washrooms tick the box when it comes to look and feel, but also sustainability and hygiene.
Specifying a Singular solution First impressions count, and washrooms are one of the key spaces where facilities managers can create a real wow factor. Positive impressions encourage favourable reviews and drive repeat custom. Whether it’s front-of- house in a hotel, in an office or a stadium, washrooms are very busy spaces, so some thought needs to be dedicated to maintenance, and how you can keep these areas looking fresh over time. The challenge is therefore to consider a wide variety of factors simultaneously – from durability, hygiene and performance to sustainability, accessibility and aesthetics.

Specifying washrooms involves more than the aesthetics. Functionality, performance and compatibility of products are just as important for architects and specifiers looking to create the best possible space. Here, Anil Madan, Non-Residential Marketing Manager for Ideal Standard UK and Armitage Shanks, discussesthe key considerations for architects and specifiers when creating commercial washrooms.
From long-lasting products that leave a good impression to the latest in aesthetics and sustainability, Singular™ by Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks simplifies the specification process and provides an end-to-end journey for facilities managers.
