A large gym provider with sites across the UK was set to open a new state-of-the-art facility in the northeast of England in August 2024. Recognising the importance of high-quality washroom and shower facilities in enhancing the overall customer experience, the company sought to create functional, smart amenities that would reflect the sharpness of their brand.
To achieve this, CCS was tasked with supplying and installing a full washroom and shower block solution for the new gym. The scope of the project included the fit-out of male and female washrooms, as well as separate, gendered shower blocks within each of these areas. Key to the project was creating a series of spaces that meets customers’ cleanliness, privacy and functional needs.
Working closely with Design Business Interiors, we proposed a bespoke selection of products that would meet the gym’s specific criteria while adhering to budgetary requirements. The focus was on creating a seamless experience for customers by ensuring the facilities were not only practical, durable and comfortable, but also in keeping with the company’s brand and sleek aesthetic of the site.
For the washrooms, a mixture of finishes were selected from our Force cubicle range, including EGGER in Trondheim Ash (H1225) and Polyrey Noir (N005) for the toilet doors, pilasters and partitions, and Duct Panel System, including WC access panels and IPS shadow panels. This combination was applied consistently across both male and female washrooms to maintain a cohesive look.
Handwashing facilities were fitted with solid surface wash troughs in our WT001 style, featuring a curved design with an exposed waste. These were finished in Durasein’s Shadow Grey and were fixed on to a powder-coated black underframe.
In the shower blocks, Compact grade laminate (CGL) was selected for our Force cubicle shower doors, pilasters and partitions. This moisture-resistant material is ideal for wet areas, while its black edge perfectly aligned with the gym’s aesthetic.
More broadly, the monochromatic colour scheme in these areas focused on black and brushed aluminium finishes, further enhancing the modern, sharp feel of the facilities.
