Maximum security and high comfort are often difficult to ensure in public toilets and washrooms. The trend is therefore moving away from communal toilets with separate cubicles and towards enclosed individual cubicles. In the UK, so-called Superloos are already widespread. But what is a Superloo? The Superloo offers a WC, washing facilities and toiletries in the smallest space for perfect hygiene. This is how modern compact bathrooms work.

More Hygiene with Superloo Cubicles

The situation in public toilets and communal bathrooms in companies and public authorities is critical for both physical and mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown offices, train stations and shopping centers worldwide the limits of possibilities for maintaining ideal hygiene. Hand dryers spread viruses in the room, soap dispensers and fittings are touched by hundreds of people one after another, and without a face mask, the toilet becomes a health risk. Added to this are heavy traffic, inadequate security, odor nuisance and noise. The modern concept of the Superloo can be a real game changer in this situation, not just in terms of hygiene. Each Superloo offers space for only one person at a time. A minimalist and clean design makes it possible for the toilet, washbasin, mirror, toiletries, towels and waste bin to occupy only a few square meters.

disinfected in seconds through automatic cleaning processes.

Privacy and Fulfillment of All Needs

The Superloo is fundamentally designed for use by one person only and can be securely locked. An additional door lock at the touch of a button means additional security. Gender-neutral solutions can be configured individually. For example, the placement of urinals and toilets is equally possible, as is step-free access to increase accessibility. This makes the Superloo a safe space that offers everything employees, visitors and customers need for personal hygiene. Care and hygiene products can be provided via behind-mirror solutions or disinfectable containers with easy-to-clean surfaces. In this way, the needs of each user are paramount, while absolute privacy is guaranteed. Although each individual Superloo requires more space than a toilet cubicle, washbasins, hand dryers and all the important details of a complete bathroom are compactly combined in the smallest space. Thus, the Superloo not only replaces classic toilet rooms in their functions, but also accommodates several individual WCs where communal washrooms previously took up unnecessarily much space.

Innovative Design Implemented with a Solution-Oriented Approach

Through intelligent design, the modern Superloo not only mimics the classic bathroom layout in the smallest space, but also solves the problems of lack of privacy, noise and odor nuisance, and lack of hygiene in public toilets. Gender-neutral equipment that makes separate communal WCs unnecessary, and simple usability make the Superloo a true innovation that prepares companies and public buildings for the future.
