Communal Shower Area – Bikram Yoga Studio

Having discovered a leak in the Men’s communal shower area, Bikram Yoga Studio immediately called Aquatecnic to find them a suitable installer. The company had used Aquatecnic products previously to resolve an issue in the Women’s showering area, so trusted the Aquaproof Wetroom Tanking system and shower tray formers would provide a fully waterproof shower area to stand the test of time. The shower area was to be in an awkward, small space, and having worked with our manufacturing team before- they knew we could deliver a custom shower tray former to fit the space. making the installation as easy and efficient as possible.

Another area you may find a communal shower area could be at a hostel. These typically range from individual cubicles, to large open plan areas. This project was an interesting example of a communal shower area due the small amount of space provided, you’d typically have multiple drainage gratings or a long linear channel – A high budget area would usually employ a slope to falls for each cubical.
