Shower Satisfaction for Sports Centres

Aug 1 2011 Advertisement Feature

When thinking about shower and bathroom facilities it is easy to only think of those based in our homes, but what about those used by the public? Sports centres are one of the key areas which rely on up to date and efficient shower and bathroom facilities in order to maintain their business. We have put together a few suggestions to give anyone thinking of owning, or building, a sports centre a helping hand when it comes to the development of their facilities although they can be applied to the home as well.

So, what do you need to consider when providing showering facilities for a larger proportion of people? The first step you need to take is to decide what area you are going to designate to the purpose and ensure that it is large enough to accommodate the expected amount of people. Remember that it is always better to offer more facilities than not enough, but at the same time you dont want to go overboard and create the worlds largest indoor public toilet service.

Once you have designated your area, or areas, the next thing to decide is whether you are going to have the toilets and showers in the same area or separated. This really depends on how much space you have but it is generally an idea to keep the toilets at a slight distance away from the shower. This prevents their floors from becoming overly saturated with water as a number of individuals, fresh from the showers, make their way to the toilets.

If you have enough space, considering offering multiple toilet facilities is a good solution to this dilemma. This way you can have a couple of toilet cubicles by the showers along with a separate set of facilities intended for those who have not just come out of the showers.

After this consideration your next thoughts should be on the types of showers you are providing. If you are only intending to erect a small sports centre, then it may be more useful for you to implement a couple of separate shower enclosures. These are great if you are advertising your sports centre as a particularly private centre, as it will provide enclosed showering areas for your customers.

Alternatively you could merely add definition to shower areas by implementing shower screens in between each shower. These will help to give users a bit more privacy and are both more practical and better looking than shower curtains. They are also easier to clean meaning that you can keep on top of the different aspects of your new business easily.

Remember that shower enclosures and screens are not only for use in sports centres and can be implemented in your home as well. Shower enclosures are fitted atop shower trays and are great if you intend to have a separate shower room whilst shower screens are designed to prevent water leakage from showers which are mounted over baths.
