As the leading company who designs and manufactures numerous elements of the bathroom which are all designed from the ground up to integrate together, Roman were contracted by Irish bathroom pod manufacturer, Castle Modular, to supply Shower Enclosures, Anti-Slip Solid Surface Shower Trays and integrated Corian Vanity units for the prestigious IHG Dublin Airport Holiday Inn.
The project involved the supply of 400 bathroom pods by Castle Modular to the main contractor Stewart Construction. The ability to source from an accredited IHG manufacturer who had the skill sets to bring these items together with the necessary CE Marking accreditations, Declarations of Performance and industry leading service backed guarantees was fundamental to the purchasing decision.
All products supplied adhered to IHG’s Holiday Inn Brand standards. Roman liaise closely with the IHG Group to develop concepts together across a number of their Brands.
The unique Holiday Inn design involved the fabrication of a nib wall integrated with a shower tray and vanity unit. The bespoke glass panel affixed to the wall allowed for a bright, fresh, open looking enclosure when combined with the frameless toughened glass pivot door.
Integral to the design was the modular way in which all items were constructed to create a water tight contemporary shower enclosure for the guest to safely enjoy. Critically the products are also easy to clean and maintain.
Roman designed and developed a unique leg riser kit for the shower tray with six robust adjustable feet to allow for ease of levelling which also offered a rigid platform on which to stand.
Due to the nature of bathroom pod construction methods, sufficient space was allowed beneath the shower tray to accommodate the drain and waste pipe. For ongoing maintenance, a solid surface facial plate was fixed to the front of the tray to enable quick and easy access to the fast flow waste.
In line with IHG Brand standards, Roman manufactured a solid surface shower tray in a matt white finish which has a DIN Class C anti-slip rating. This unique material cannot wear and offers a stunning permanent anti-slip surface.
Working in tandem with Castle Modular’s construction, design and commercial teams, 400 stunning bathroom pods were supplied on time and on budget in what will be one of IHG’s largest new build hotels in Europe.
The design brief also called for a bottle shelf to be included which was seamlessly formed onto the solid surface wall.
