Speed of delivery was a key consideration for LPL Construction when choosing the product supplier for this project. The refurbishment required the washroom to be closed over a period of seven weeks so disruption was to be kept minimal. LPL Construction vetted a number of suppliers to ensure exact timescales could be, and would be adhered to. Ideal Standard provisioned the Airside 80cm washroom basin from its Armitage Shanks brand, which incorporates an integral shelf for necessities and a bold splash-back to keep the wash area clean. Made from Fine Fireclay which provides improved tolerance for larger pieces of sanitaryware. Its hidden pipework also lends itself to an attractive and easy to maintain washroom. The large area of the basin provides ample space for passengers without the need to bunch up, meeting the ergonomic challenges associated with a high-end feel washroom. For the sanitaryware Ideal Standard advised matching the Airside basin with the Contour Vitreous china bowl urinal, which is panel-mounted and incorporates a concealed high level cistern, pipework and trap. The Contour urinal is designed to be hygienic and its smooth profile conceals the flushing inlet and waste trap, ensuring the highest standards of protection from infection carrying bacteria. A timed self-rinse application also stops bacteria build-up.
