As a leading fan manufacturer in the UK, FläktGroup continually strives to maintain a state-of-the-art working environment that reflects their commitment to excellence and sustainability.
FläktGroup engaged our team to reconfigure their existing facilities to incorporate full turn-key installation of modern male and female washrooms. The project aimed to create a spacious, hygienic, and energy-efficient environment, while integrating high-quality materials and advanced utility management systems.
We showcased our ability to deliver tailored solutions that align with our client's vision and operational goals
Key Objectives
- Maximise available space through structural reconfiguration.
- Install durable, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-maintain materials.
- Ensure optimal lighting and energy efficiency with upgraded systems.
- Prioritise hygiene by concealing utilities and creating a streamlined design
Challenges
The project involved several technical and logistical challenges, including:
- Removal of existing walls while ensuring structural integrity.
- Integration of concealed pipework and cisterns within the WC cubicle design.
- Coordinating the installation of modern safety flooring and modular ceilings in a fully operational facility.
To optimise the available area, walls were removed strategically, allowing for an open and accessible washroom layout. The new design focused on comfort, accessibility, and functionality. Solid-grade laminate WC cubicles were installed to ensure durability and moisture resistance.
A WC-integrated panel system was introduced to conceal all pipework, cisterns, and utilities, creating a clean and seamless appearance while simplifying maintenance. A new modular suspended ceiling was installed, incorporating IP-rated 12-watt recessed lighting. Advanced lighting controls were added, providing energy efficiency and adaptability to varying user needs.
Stone-effect non-slip safety flooring was chosen for its high-quality finish, durability, and ease of maintenance. This flooring not only ensures safety but also complements the overall modern aesthetic of the washrooms.
The reconfigured washrooms delivered an enhanced user experience, with a focus on cleanliness, functionality, and energy efficiency. Key benefits included, optimised space with the removal of walls created a more open and inviting environment.
Improved Hygiene: The concealed utility systems reduced clutter and facilitated easier cleaning. Energy Savings, IP-rated recessed lighting and advanced controls contributed to lower energy consumption.
Durability: The choice of materials ensured long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.
