Prefabricated bathroom pods that 100% recyclable

The use of PETG Thermoplastic by Aquadream means that the basic shell of a bathroom pod – the walls, ceiling and floor – is capable of being 100% recycled when no longer required for its original purpose.Many housebuilders are looking for products that are made from materials which are environmentally friendly and that offer a greater degree of sustainability than has hitherto been available. Because of their recyclable nature, construction companies choosing to install Aquadream products have the possibility of achieving an improved BREEAM rating on their buildings.

All Aquadream products are available as a single unit or as a kit made up of either 5 or 8 parts depending on the style of pod chosen. This means that the company’s products can be installed directly into new builds or during the renovation of older properties.

PETG Thermoplastic pods offer a cost effective alternative to pods produced using traditional production methods. Lower prices stem from the way in which the pods are produced. The manufacturing process is far less labour intensive than regular methods.

The walls ceiling and floor are machine made with the result that hundreds of PETG panel sets can be made by one machine operator in the time that it would take many manual operators to produce a significantly lower number of traditional pod panel sets.

All Aquadream pods are lightweight, durable, reliable, cost effective, and are provided with a non slip surface to the floor. With a solid PETG / polyurethane base in place of the usual metal frame and metal feet, sound transmission through the concrete slab on which the pod sits is eliminated. Levelling is carried out by using neoprene shims of varying thickness.

There are currently three pod designs, the AquaCooL, the AquaZeen and the AquaComfort, with additional designs currently in planning. All pods come to site fully equipped with all the usual items of sanitary ware and are piped up on the outside for hot and cold supplies in HEP 2 O or similar, and plastic for all waste outlets – ready for connection to services within the building.
