When it comes to specifying and designing for commercial spaces, a well-designed washroom is key to ensuring a long-lasting, positive impression for end-users. Specifiers and architects must, therefore, consider a wide variety of factors like hygiene, sustainability and accessibility when creating such a space.
With a long history of innovative products, Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks are at the forefront of creating contemporary solutions that are fuelled by decades of technical expertise and innovation.
Intellimix® from Ideal Standard, for example, is a pioneering smart tap, which dispenses the ideal amount of soap and water with each use. Perfect for high-traffic commercial washrooms, this not only enables touch-free handwashing but also guarantees improved hygiene standards by encouraging the use of soap every time.
Thanks to its 1.9 l/min flow regulator and a programable water flow duration, the fitting significantly lowers running costs and reduces the overall amount of soap and water used, minimising waste and generating cost savings of up to 80 per cent on soap and 85 per cent on water – helping architects and specifiers to reduce overall environmental impact and meet crucial sustainability requirements, such as those set out in BREEAM and LEED.
Additionally, Intellimix® makes maintenance and cleaning hassle-free for on-site facilities teams, with less frequent and faster soap replacement compared to traditional dispensers, and reduced cleaning required as all soap is directed into the bowl. A tailor-made app enables facilities managers to control resources better too, with options available to input and monitor settings, view performance and receive automatic alerts when maintenance is needed.
With so many factors to consider, opting for a manufacturer that offers a comprehensive washroom solution can streamline the specification process and reduce potential issues down the line. Singular™ by Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks simplifies specification and provides an end-to-end journey for architects and designers, with a near-infinite combination of award-winning products and solutions, like Intellimix®, to choose from.
What’s more, Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks’ new Singular™ Solutions Sector Books give specifiers the advantage of both manufacturers considerable expertise sorted by sector, which encompasses all the knowledge and insight needed to design the perfect space in any sector.
