Bathroom Pod Features

Whether it be steel-framed or GRP, our bathroom pods come with multiple features that make them suited for a variety of sectors from student accommodation to healthcare environments. You can read about the features of bathroom pods manufactured by Offsite below:

Steel Framed Bathroom Pods

Steel Framed units are suitable for environments where a high quality, traditional tiled finish is required. The nature of these pods makes them suitable for any project where there are a significant number of units with limited variations and high repeatability. 

Welded steel base frame

All Offsite Solutions steel framed bathroom pods have a robust, rigid, precision welded, steel box section base frame typically overlaid with 18mm WBP plywood.

Galvanised steel wall frames

We manufacture our own cold rolled galvanised steel ‘C’ section wall frames using state of the art, computer controlled, steel framing machinery giving total control over the design and manufacturing process.

Double Skinned Wall Composition

Our wall frames are double lined with OSB 3 and moisture resistant plasterboard giving a robust wall detail suitable for tiling and fixing into, if required specialist wall boards can be used.

Waterproof Floors

All Offsite Solutions steel framed bathroom pods are waterproofed using a thoroughly applied high-grade impermeable tanking system.

Range of interior finishes

The bathroom interior can be specified to suit individual requirements, incorporating a bath, shower tray or wet-room floor. Walls can be finished with ceramic, porcelain or natural tiles, floors can be fully tiled or vinyled, ceilings in waterproof GRP composite are recommended.

Protected and Accessible Services

All services run within the structure of the frame including; hot and cold water pipes, waste pipes and electrical services. General maintenance access points are reached through the bath panel, the vanity unit or other access panels.

Factory Built Quality

We operate state of the art facilities and utilise automotive procedures; this process is extremely efficient enabling high volume production with advanced quality control.

Certification and Testing

Every bathroom pod whether GRP Composite or Steel Framed is given a unique identification number for traceability and is checked at each stage of production. Every pod is thoroughly tested and certified and is issued with its own specific set of quality documents.

Technical Details

Bathroom pods can be manufactured with various different wall and floor thicknesses, however our walls are nominally 100mm thick and floor 75mm thick.

GRP Composite Bathroom Pods

Our GRP Composite units have been designed specifically for healthcare environments where hygiene, durability and longevity are of paramount importance. Not only are they extremely low maintenance they are also easy-clean, lightweight, robust and have fully waterproof bunded floors.

Marine Grade and WRAS approved resins and gelcoat

Tested under extreme conditions in the marine industry the high-quality resins and gelcoats used will retain their integrity and finish over time.

Vertical pod walls & door openings

Walls and door openings are plumb meaning that integration of the pod is uncomplicated, allowing the use of standard door sets without further work on-site.

Honeycomb Polypropylene Core Technology

Offsite Solutions honeycomb core structure provides an extremely strong composite sandwich which is fully waterproof and not susceptible to delamination.

Refurbishment flat-pack options

Our panelised pods are ideal for the refurbishment or conversion of existing buildings where access may be restricted but a robust GRP composite finish is still required.

Tiled effect finish

Our market leading GRP ‘tiled effect’ finish offers all the aesthetic benefits of ceramic or porcelain tiles but without any of the potential concerns.

Integral moulded features

Soap dishes, thresholds and recesses can be moulded into the wall & floor panels minimising the need for secondary fittings, reducing costs and allowing for easier cleaning.

Bathroom pods can be manufactured with various different wall and floor thicknesses, however our walls are nominally 35mm thick and floor 40mm thick.
