The Stratford Garden Centre approached us to price a complete refurbishment of their washroom areas. We spent time understanding their requirements and putting together a proposal to suit their needs whilst keeping in budget.
Seeing their design intent come to life was really satisfying and we particularly loved the bold choice of wall tile ensuring that the botanical feel of the garden centre flowed into every area, including the washrooms.
As per the full list of services, we carried out each aspect of this interior refurbishment from start to finish. You can find further details on some of the specifics below, however if there is anything you’d like further information on then please do get in touch with our helpful team.
Flooring
For this project we used Polyflor Cap and Cove flooring.
Cap and Cove is the most popular choice of commercial flooring and was an ideal choice for a heavy traffic area such as a garden centre. Polyflor Cap and Cove is exceptionally hard wearing in high traffic areas, super durable, easy to clean and impervious to water. The curved edges which run up into the skirting mean that there are no awkward joins to clean and no places for bacteria to hide.
Mirrors
We installed 6mm safety backed mirrors to all washroom areas. Each hand wash basin had an individual mirror hung above it to create individual hand wash stations. The mirrors have a clear plastic film applied to the back of them so that in the unlikely event they were to shatter, the form will be held preventing harmful shards from falling on the user.
V-EPPS, Venesta Engineered Pre-Plumbed System
We sourced pre-plumbed duct panels from Venesta. Venesta hold the standard for pre-plumbed ducting units within the washroom industry. For washroom fitters such as us, these units save time and hassle on site being delivered with pre-affixed sanitaryware. The assembly and mastic are all carried out in the factory so once unwrapped on site the V-EPPS panels slot into the IPS voids with just the final plumbing connections to make.
Wall tiling
For this project it was important that the botanical feel of the garden centre carried on into the washroom area. We worked with our client to help find a tile to create a feature wall that brought this idea to life. We found “Hex” tiles to fit this brief which created a stunning effect, albeit slightly more tricky to fit! However, with careful precision and patience we managed to complete a really impactful feature piece in the garden centre washrooms.
