Bathroom pods offer efficiency, sustainability, flexibility, quality control, and cost savings. Key benefits include greater consistency due to controlled manufacturing, quicker installation compared to traditional methods, cost-effectiveness through reduced labour and time, increased sustainability with less waste and use of recycled materials, and full flexibility in design and size to suit various project needs.
Benefits of modular bathrooms; explained:
Quicker Installation
Building and installing traditional bathrooms involves multiple trades including plumbers, carpenters, electricians and decorators so often takes time to complete whilst managing all the different stages. It only takes one delay, such as parts not being delivered or bad weather on site, to have a knock on impact on the other stages required to complete the installation.
With bathroom pods being completely prefabricated off site, or delivered to site as a “flat-pack” solution, the installation time is much quicker and requires a much less skilled workforce to put together.
Cost Effective
Initial costs of the complete pods may seem high; but when you factor in the costs of materials and the labour costs involved with conventional bathroom installation, they actually provide a cost effective solution. As the pods arrive to site fully or part assembled, it requires less labour, machinery and electricity on site.
Also, as the pods are supplied completely tested before delivery, there will not be any unplanned costs or delays caused by leaking pipes, damaged cabling etc.
Consistent Quality
As the pods are all fully manufactured on a controlled production line, and quality tested before they are sent to site, there is less risk of poor build quality or mistakes from any of the labourers when compared to conventional bathroom builds.
Sustainable Option
Bathroom pods help make the work site more sustainable as the air and noise pollution is lessened considerably when compared to the labour and processed involved in regular bathroom installations. It also requires less electricity usage onsite and, as the pods are commonly made of recyclable materials and have precise designs, there is less material wastage with reduces the overall carbon footprint.
Flexible/Temporary Solutions
Modular bathrooms can often be re-used so are ideal for “pop-up” settings such as music festivals, building sites etc. The pods can easily be disconnected from the mains supply, taken apart, and transported to be used again elsewhere.
