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.
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.
Key benefits of solid surface for your Education washroom
Our recommendations for your Education washroom
Carefully created with the education sector in mind, our WT3 Slim Solid Surface Wash Trough profile complies with the School Output Specification for Sanitaryware published by the Department for Education. With a thermoformed trough body, there is nowhere for germs or bacteria to harbour. Paired with our sensor taps and sensor soap dispensers, the number of touchpoints for children and young adults is reduced in the school washroom, minimising the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses.
For the more traditional school washroom where a vanity unit and hand wash basins are preferred, we recommend our VT1 and VT2 Solid Surface Vanity Units. When paired with our vanity underframe, these are hardwearing and durable and ready to take on the daily knocks and scrapes of a busy school washroom. With 12 standard colours in our range including the bold Yellow Sand and Apple Green, there is plenty of opportunity to create a vibrant environment for pupils. Integrated solid surface wash basins are available in white as standard to complement your choice of vanity top.
