By choosing the right specialist supplier with access to the right design technology and skills, bathroom implementation will be more effective and successful, says Malcolm Farmiloe, founder and group director, Gainsborough Healthcare Group
The key to an effective and accessible bathroom is diligent design and planning. Without considered and comprehensive assessment of a project before implementation, the final outcome may compromise care and operational efficiency. Therefore, when selecting a supplier of enhanced washroom facilities, it is vital to choose a specialist with turnkey capabilities that include design competency. This will ultimately deliver a greater return on investment (ROI) and a solution that perfectly fits client and carer needs, while strengthening service provision and meeting Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards of excellence.
The design of a new wet room or bathroom begins with a site survey to determine the parameters and aims of the project. Each programme of works will vary in scale and the best fit approach is always bespoke by nature. This is why established, proven bathroom manufacturers and suppliers invest in representatives with vast knowledge in their field, so accurate recommendations can be provided efficiently.
When you consider the plethora of options available in the marketplace, this expertise offers significant value. Specialist bathroom designers evaluate project objectives with a view to determining whether refurbishment is a possibility or redesign is required. If a bathroom or bathrooms already exist, then the positioning of fixtures and fittings is analysed to ensure ergonomic design.
