CoramShower Pods has developed a new generation of shower pod, which provides apractical and cost effective alternative to conventional shower enclosures. Peter Dimeloe, managing director of Coram ShowerPods, takes a look at the latest designs in the range, which are built towithstand the roughest handling, minimise repair and maintenance, and providecomplete watertight performance, all within a robust, easy to install unit.

Althoughthe conventional stand-alone shower enclosure continues to hold a strongappeal, it can often prove problematic. For example, leaks caused by badlydesigned and difficult to install conventional enclosures are particularlyfrustrating and costly to repair, and poor quality products are often unable towithstand the frequent use and rough handling they receive in schools andstudent accommodation.

Toprovide a solution to this problem, Coram Shower Pods has developed a range ofinnovative shower pod designs, which offer robust, maintenance-free design,straightforward installation and completely watertight performance.

Builtto Last

Constructedusing glass-reinforced polymer (GRP), designs in the Coram Shower Pods rangeare extremely strong and durable, which means they are particularly well suitedfor use in educational facilities, where shower environments are frequentlyused and undergo regular rough treatment.

Atthe same time, the innovative construction of the designs in Coram’s shower podrange also provides complete protection from leaks. Manufactured in three tofive sections, depending on their size, Coram Shower Pods’ designs featureoverlapping joints on all sections to give a watertight seal when the showerpod is in use. Each shower pod also features the patent protected, easy clean‘Waterguard’, which eradicates leaks on the outer edges between the tray andthe shower pod door. The combination of the overlapping joints and theWaterguard is so effective at eliminating leaks that Coram Shower Pods offers awatertight lifetime guarantee.

Coram’shigh performance shower pods are also thoughtfully designed to include smooth,rounded edges with no corners, joints or awkward gaps, which eliminates dirttraps and enables easy cleaning, keeping the pod looking good for longer.

StreamliningInstallation

Inaddition to reducing maintenance requirements and improving watertightperformance, Coram Shower Pods’ innovative designs make installation much morestraightforward, which is particularly useful for large-scale refurbishmentprojects.

EachCoram Shower Pod is manufactured in sections, which allows for easy manoeuvringup stairwells and through doors. Once in the bathroom, en-suite or changingfacility, the pod can be completely installed in about an hour by a carpenter.As designs in the Coram Shower Pod range do not require tiling or sealant tomake them watertight, the installation process is much faster and moreefficient.

Offeringfast, watertight installation and excellent durability, Coram Shower Podsprovide a very viable alternative to conventional shower enclosures. As such,Coram Shower Pods’ designs are being specified for more educational facilitiesthan ever before, enabling schools, student accommodation and many otherfacilities to benefit from the reduced repair and maintenance costs that highperformance shower pods deliver, for life.
