RIGBY recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the washroom facilities at DEFRA Riversmeet, delivering a clean, professional, and highly functional environment. This project focused on balancing durability with a modern aesthetic to align with the facility’s operational standards.
Key elements of the refurbishment included:
- Premium Integrated Plumbing Systems (IPS): We installed sleek, wood-effect and charcoal grey cabinetry that conceals all pipework, ensuring a streamlined look that is easy to maintain and clean.
- High-Quality Sanitaryware: The upgrade features modern, semi-recessed vanity basins and back-to-wall toilets, optimising space while providing a contemporary feel.
- Functional Lighting & Finishes: The space was fitted with moisture-resistant suspended ceiling tiles and integrated LED panel lighting to create a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
- Durable Flooring & Wall Cladding: We utilised industrial-grade, non-slip vinyl safety flooring with coved skirting for maximum hygiene, paired with hygienic wall cladding that provides a seamless, wipe-clean surface.
- Modern Amenities: The fit-out was completed with high-speed hand dryers, circular vanity mirrors, and integrated soap dispensers to provide a complete, user-centric experience.
By focusing on high-traffic durability and a cohesive design palette, RIGBY has transformed these essential facilities into a modern space that meets the long-term needs of the DEFRA Riversmeet site.
