School visitor washroom refurbishments are completed to a much higher aesthetic standard than student washrooms and are often less utilitarian. Student washrooms are usually designed to be long-lasting, robust, and potentially vandal-resistant, however, schools are free to express more creativity and provide a more luxurious finish in school visitor washrooms.
One such washroom refurbishment project was specified for LVS Ascot School. LVS Ascot is an independent all-ability school for pupils from 4 to 18 in Ascot, Berkshire.
The school visitor washrooms are primarily for use by parents, business-related guests and users of the conference facilities and meeting rooms on the floor above the washrooms. Though it also expected school staff will make use of them too.
Due to the profile of the school, and the possibility parents of potential students using the washrooms, they had to make a statement and impress the visitors that frequented them. This allowed Commercial Washrooms to specify unique design features.
School Visitor Washrooms Refurbishment Works
Washroom Floors
In both washrooms, the existing vinyl flooring was pulled up and screed was put down to smooth out the surface. Once ready replica stone luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) were laid throughout both washrooms. These are from the Polyfloor Expona Control range and so are easy to clean but provide excellent anti-slip properties.
Washroom Walls
To create a smooth and hygienic finish to the walls, the school visitor washroom was clad with Altro Whiterock. Each washroom includes a different colour feature wall. Created from the Whiterock chameleon range.
Cubicles and Duct Sets
For style and durability, all the cubicle and duct set panels were supplied in SGL, solid grade laminate. With stainless steel fixtures and fittings.
Sanitary Ware Specified by Commercial Washrooms
The sanitary ware is where this particular school visitor washroom refurbishment came to life. Not requiring the sanitary ware to be as hard-wearing (or vandal resistant), allowed for sanitary ware to be chosen primarily on its form and design.
Armitage Shanks back to wall toilets were matched with square-shaped Twyford E100 basins, with chrome exposed bottle traps. These sinks are from the new Twyford Energy range and are proving very popular. In fact, the client had the final say on these products and very much liked the E100 square basins.
In the upstairs washroom, the two new Sanura urinals are cistern fed with a ceiling PIR to control the frequency of the flushing. Saving water and minimising the risk of blockages. Downstairs the single urinal fitted was installed with a mains flush which is controlled by sensor
