Materials
The office washroom is one of the most visited, and universally used areas of the entire office. With that in mind, the design and creation of this busy space should be a top priority.
​
Materials are an undeniably important factor. Taking into account the absorption abilities of your desired material and offsetting it with the overall level of use will help you avoid issues and heavy repair costs further down the line.
Cubicles
Our range of luxury full-height washroom cubicles are designed to suit both low and heavy- office use. Regardless of your design and requirements, you will always find something to suit your personal taste in terms of style and finish.

Our cubicles remain functional and long-lasting, whilst easily retaining scope to incorporate bespoke detailing to fit the aesthetic of your chosen look and feel.

Metal
Looking for a more industrial, ‘edgy’ feel? Or conversely, a little luxe colour pop? Consider metal finishes - whatever your brand, they can be a huge design advantage. They are also highly versatile, surprisingly hardwearing, and easy to clean. Metal is super stylish and often used in trendy boutique hotels for a more ‘edgy’ look, or for luxury detailing to match taps and accessories. PVD metal also comes in a variety of different shades - meaning your washroom can be as unique as your brand.
