Unlike conventional tile and tray showers, shower pods feature watertight modular construction with durable finishes that are leak-proof even under heavy use. Key design elements include:
Seamless walls and floors: Multi-piece assemblies in standard showers can loosen and fail, while shower pods aren't susceptible because they feature integrated panels and trays.
Factory sealing: Modular pods are sealed in controlled factory settings for consistent, reliable performance, while showers built on site rely on caulking and grout that can degrade.
Non-porous materials: Shower pods are built with non-porous surfaces like GRP, acrylic, and fibreglass that water cannot penetrate, whereas tile and grout absorb moisture and breed mould.
As a landlord, leaky showers can create major headaches. When water infiltrates behind walls and under floors, structural issues and mould growth can develop, requiring expensive repairs and renovations down the road.
Shower pods present an easy, affordable way to upgrade your rental properties with durable, watertight shower units that prevent leaks by design. Tenants will appreciate the fresh, updated aesthetics as well.
With shower pods, you can:
Avoid costly water damage repairs
Upgrade facilities without extensive construction
Provide a more enjoyable rental experience
Attract higher rental rates for updated units
The modular nature of shower pods also makes unit replacement quick and affordable after years of use.
For managers of housing association developments, social housing, and other multi-occupancy residential facilities, leaky showers can create untenable living situations for residents.
By installing waterproof shower pod enclosures, you can:
Improve living conditions for tenants
Eliminate expenses related to water damage
Avoid reputation damage from substandard facilities
Extend lifespans of bathrooms between major renovations
Today's shower pods offer the further benefit of accessibility-friendly low entry and grab bars to serve tenants of all ages and abilities.
University accommodations see extremely high shower room usage, and leaky plumbing can disrupt learning environments and detract from the campus experience.
