In this recent article we discussed why the academic Christmas recess is one of the best times to refurbish shower units in university Halls of Residence, and a good opportunity to book an upgrade to leak-proof shower pods.
For many universities, however, the biggest round of facilities maintenance falls in the summer, when facilities are repaired and refreshed in time to welcome the new intake of students in September. If this applies to your organisation, we’d like you to consider breaking with tradition and moving any planned shower upgrades forward a few months, to the Easter break, or even earlier; if like many universities, many of your students are learning from home at the moment, rather than being resident on campus.
Shower pod units are ideal for student Halls for several reasons, with fewer maintenance issues, and a lower lifetime cost of ownership than traditional tile and tray shower cubicles. This is for three main reasons:
Firstly, because their seamless GRP construction avoids the need for grouting – and therefore avoids the vast majority of leaks. This leads to the second advantage, because leak-proof showers minimise the ongoing maintenance problems caused by damp ingress, including mould control, ventilation problems, and redecorating issues. This reduces the time and expense of facilities maintenance. And, thirdly, shower pods are easy and fast to install, with none of the fuss involved with regular retailing. A modular shower pod can be installed by a single technician within a few hours, with no need to involve multiple craftspeople.
