Lots of jobs require thorough decontamination before or after shift, and many workplaces provide showers for the benefit of employees who cycle to work. However, workplace showers are often problematic to install and maintain using conventional methods – could shower pods be a safer and more convenient solution for businesses?

Shower pods can offer great support in improving hygiene and decontamination standards, as well as making workplace showers more pleasant to use for employees. For example, unlike tiled showers, pods don’t need to be constantly scrubbed to stay clean. No grout means no mildew or mould build up.
And there’s more, because at Advanced Showers we’ve partnered with a leading producer of anti-microbial solutions for commercial applications. Our tests showed a dramatic reduction in microbial activity on our shower pod surfaces, which makes the solution ideal for high-risk environments.
Shower pods also allow you to provide hot water on demand, while at the same time reducing the risk of suffering burns or scalding. This is because shower pod units are self-contained, so staff don’t risk accidentally touching hot metal parts or being submerged in hot water.
Last but not least, our shower pods are very flexible in terms of size and shape. These units can be fitted into most locations, even in small or awkward spaces. This way, you can maximise the space available and fit all the units you need to keep staff from waiting to use them.
