The most common areas prone to vandalism are train stations, sports stadiums, hospitals, prisons and public conveniences. Damage from vandalism can be commonplace in these environments, but thanks to the ingenuity of modern design, you can drastically limit its presence in your washroom facilities.
The aim of anti-vandal fixtures and fittings is to reduce the amount of damage that can be inflicted on your washroom and limit the risk of it even happening in the first place.
As a starting point, you want to conceal as much pipework as possible and reduce overhanging lips or anything that can be prised away from its foundations. You want to be looking for anything that is concealed or countersunk.
It isn’t just mindless vandalism that we want to prevent in the aforementioned washroom environments, though. Another concern is the potential for users to break off objects, or shards of fixtures, that could be used to harm themselves or others.
For instance, this Wall Hung Vandal Resistant Toilet Pan is manufactured from anti-shatter moulded resin and has been designed to be used without a toilet seat. This is an ideal solution for prison toilet facilities and also for areas used by those that are vulnerable or at risk.
Water damage can be reduced and almost ruled out altogether by installing sensor and non concussive taps, both of which are self closing. These options deliver water in small bursts, stopping users from leaving water running and reducing flood risks dramatically.
For sports facilities and changing rooms, similar options are available for showers and baths. This type of tap option is also an economical choice as it helps reduce the overall water consumption in your washroom.
Urinals like the Franke Stainless Steel Concealed Urinal Bowl, are installed with concealed fittings and designed in such a way as to shelter all integral pipework. Not only does this reduce the risk of damage, but makes hygienic cleaning of your washroom facility easier and quicker to carry out.
Taking active steps to tackle vandalism in your washroom facilities is essential and those steps may vary slightly depending on environment, users and frequency of use. By installing vandal resistant features, you will be actively deterring deliberate damage and insuring the safety of your facilities.
