Trough Sinks for Schools | Washroom Solutions

Guidance on washrooms for schools

Solid surface has been a favourable material choice for washrooms for schools, nurseries, colleges and universities for many years, originally derived from the Building Schools for the Future programme in the mid-2000s.

The Department for Education also specifically recommended in their Toilets in School Guidance that wash troughs should be used in education settings, due to their easy to clean nature.

Fast forward to the present day, post the Coronavirus pandemic and the trend towards open plan, gender neutral washrooms, the demand for solid surface trough sinks for schools has never been greater.

Benefits of trough sinks for schools

Trough sinks for schools are extremely hardwearing and easily repairable, allowing multiple users at once and encouraging the flow of pupils through the washroom area. The hygienic smooth surface of the thermoformed trough sinks and lack of joints stop germs harbouring, too, making cleaning quick and easy. View our education brochure here.
