Making headlines with our new unisex washroom facilities
This project includes our bespoke 44mm thick full-height luxury flush-fronted toilet cubicles in a stunning wood veneer to elevate the washroom for a luxurious finish. The cubicles also have a 10mm door clearance for maximum privacy. The walls have been lined with our aqua panels, which are designed to create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity and the team were able to choose from an extensive range of natural-looking motifs, designs and different tile sizes. These panels offer a seamless finish to your toilet cubicles and washroom facilities without unsightly joints due to a unique locking system. The panels are ideal for commercial applications thanks to their waterproof surface and high impact resistance.
Our bespoke WC Integrated Panel System in matching wood veneer is a modular solution designed to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of these washroom spaces. It consists of pre-assembled or custom-manufactured panels that conceal essential plumbing and pipework behind the wall, offering a fully accessible, sleek and streamlined finish. This has been complimented with our Lyla smooth back-to-wall toilet pan, which is based on the philosophy of simple, clean lines. This toilet and wall-mounted vanity basin will suit any contemporary washroom.
A step towards inclusivity and equality for everyone
The flooring is made from luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) and is designed for commercial environments. Available in realistic wood and stone designs, this collection is known for its high-quality finish, durability, and ease of maintenance, with micro-bevelled edges that give it a natural appearance.

GB News Paddington unveils ground-breaking unisex washroom facilities to promote inclusivity
We worked on the full design and overhaul of unisex washroom facilities at GB News, Paddington in London, in order to create fully integrated superloos, which is a solution that includes a toilet cubicle, wash basin and hand drying all within the cubicle to offer maximum privacy to users.
The superloo is compliant with Approved Document T regulations, which come into effect on 1st October 2024 and require universal toilets where all amenities are contained within a room. Universal toilets should be offered in addition to gender-specific washrooms. However, this is dependent on space; if there is not enough room for male and female washrooms, then the superloo should be chosen.
