Maximum safety and comfort are often difficult to guarantee in public restrooms and washrooms. The trend is therefore moving away from communal toilets with separate toilets and towards enclosed individual cubicles. In the UK, so-called "Superloos" are already widespread. But what exactly is a Superloo? A Superloo offers perfect hygiene in a very small space, complete with a toilet, washing facilities, and personal care products. This is how these modern compact bathrooms work.

Improved hygiene thanks to Superloo Cubicles

The situation in public restrooms and communal bathrooms in companies and government offices is critical for both physical and mental health. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the limitations of maintaining ideal hygiene in offices, train stations, and shopping centers worldwide. Hand dryers spread viruses throughout the space, soap dispensers and faucets are touched by hundreds of people in succession, and without a face mask, the restroom becomes a health hazard. Add to that heavy traffic, inadequate security, unpleasant odors, and noise. The modern concept of the Superloo can be a real game-changer in this situation, and not just in terms of hygiene. Each Superloo offers space for only one person at a time. A minimalist and clean design allows the toilet, sink, mirror, toiletries, towels, and waste bin to occupy only a few square meters. This space can be cleaned in a very short time, or even...

Privacy and fulfillment of all needs

The Superloo is designed for single-person use only and can be securely locked. An additional door lock at the touch of a button provides extra security. Gender-neutral solutions can be individually configured. For example, the placement of urinals and toilets is equally possible, as is step-free access to improve accessibility. This transforms the Superloo into a safe space that offers everything employees, visitors, and customers need for personal hygiene. Care and hygiene products can be provided via rear-view mirror solutions or disinfectable containers with easy-to-clean surfaces. This prioritizes the needs of every user while ensuring absolute privacy. While each Superloo requires more space than a standard toilet cubicle, it compactly integrates a sink, hand dryer, and all the essential features of a complete bathroom into a very small space. Thus, the Superloo not only replaces traditional toilet rooms in its functions, but also allows for multiple individual toilets to be accommodated where previously communal washrooms took up unnecessarily large amounts of space.

Innovative design implemented in a solution-oriented manner

Through its intelligent design, the modern Superloo not only replicates the classic bathroom layout in a compact space, but also solves the problems of lack of privacy, noise and odor pollution, and poor hygiene found in public restrooms. Gender-neutral features, which eliminate the need for separate communal toilets, and simple usability make the Superloo a true innovation, preparing corporate and public buildings for the future. The Superloo is from Thrislington Cubicles, a subsidiary of Bobrick.
