TBS Amwell provide a wide range of washroom solutions and their specialist team are on hand to provide advice and make recommendations based on your requirements. However there are 5 key considerations that you can take into account when starting your project to ensure that the correct washroom is specified.
Understand Your Environment: Selecting the right material for the environment of your washroom is crucial for your project; it will determine how long the washroom will last. A medium to high traffic, dry environment such as an office washroom would be suited to High Pressure Laminate (HPL). TBS Amwell’s Minima range in HPL fulfils all practical requirements whilst providing a modern sleek look at a budget friendly cost. A glass cubicle system would be ideal for a leisure centre or spa that requires a water resistant washroom whilst keeping a high end look. Manufactured from toughened safety glass, TBS Amwell’s Coolite range is versatile offering both glass doors and divisions with stainless steel fixtures and fittings.
Comfort & Privacy: When specifying your washrooms comfort and privacy are important issues to consider. Flush fronted cubicles are an ideal solution to ensure the privacy of users. TBS Amwell’s Urban range is ideal for office and retail environments – with a floating appearance it provides privacy whilst looking smart and sophisticated.
For leisure environments and schools where privacy is required at the same time as a durable, hardwearing system, TBS Amwell’s Splash range is ideal. Specified in Solid Grade Laminate (SGL), these cubicles are suitable for high traffic areas and are both completely vandal and water resistant. Whether there is a requirement for floor to ceiling units (offering complete privacy) or with ceiling level space (to avoid antisocial behaviour and offering emergency access), the durable system will withstand constant use and the test of time.
Knowing your users: When it comes to creating your washroom, it is vital that you understand whether the washroom is going to be suitable for its users. In schools, for Nursery age and EYFS children, fun, bright, colours and patterns are important to make toilet time less scary. Many children aren’t used to going to the washroom alone, so providing a fun and friendly environment is very important. TBS Amwell’s Playtime and Acorn ranges come in a choice of bright, vibrant patterns and can accommodate differing door heights for supervision and privacy requirements. The all-important anti-finger trap hinges and emergency release locks bring design and functionality together.
Corporate Guidelines: Retail and Corporate washrooms are often subject to the same brand identity guidelines as a store front or board room. TBS Amwell’s Sylan ColourCoat cubicles can be matched to any standard RAL colour, providing a high end, luxurious look that fits in seamlessly with other areas of the building.
Where low impact environmental interiors are required, Sylan can be specified in Real Wood Veneer. All our veneers are FSC Certified and sourced from responsible and sustainable forests. Sylan veneer is free from defects that occur in natural wood and ensures that true consistency, pattern and colour can be repeated every time.
Equality: When designing a washroom you need to consider access for everyone. There are various laws and guidelines in place to ensure that equality and consistency takes place, Document M includes the requirements surrounding colour contrast. TBS Amwell provide the Light Reflectance Value (LRV) for their products; these can be obtained at specification stage to ensure that guidelines are being followed from early on in the project.
