Minimalist to perfect hygiene: how the Superloo conquers companies and public buildings

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

More hygiene through Superloo Cubicles

The situation in public toilets and shared bathrooms in companies and government offices is critical for physical and mental health alike. The Covid-19 pandemic is showing offices, train stations and shopping malls worldwide the limits of what can be done to maintain ideal hygiene. Hand dryers spread viruses around the room, soap dispensers and taps are touched by hundreds of people one after the other, without a respiratory mask the toilet becomes a health hazard. In addition, there is heavy traffic, inadequate security, odour nuisance and noise.

The modern concept of the Superloo can be a real gamechanger in this situation, and not only 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, care products, towels and waste bin to occupy only a few square metres. This space can be cleaned in the shortest possible time or possibly even be

disinfect in seconds through automatic cleaning processes.

Privacy and meeting all needs

The Superloo is basically designed for use by one person only and can be locked securely. An additional door lock at the push of a button means additional security. Gender-neutral solutions can be configured individually. For example, the placement of urinals and WCs is equally possible, as is step-free access to increase accessibility.

This turns the Superloo into a safe space that offers everything staff, visitors and customers need for personal hygiene. Personal care and hygiene products can be provided via behind-the-scenes solutions or disinfectable containers with easy-to-clean surfaces. In this way, the needs of each user are in the foreground, while at the same time absolute privacy is guaranteed.

Although each individual Superloo requires more space than a toilet cubicle, the washbasin, hand dryer and all the important details of a complete bathroom are compactly combined in the smallest possible space. In this way, the Superloo not only replaces classic toilet rooms in terms of their functions, it also provides space for several individual WCs where communal washrooms previously took up an unnecessarily large amount of space.

Innovative design implemented in a solution-oriented way

Through intelligent design, the modern Superloo not only mimics the classic bathroom layout in a small space, but also solves the problems of lack of privacy, noise and odour pollution and poor hygiene of public toilets. Gender-neutral equipment that makes separate communal toilets unnecessary and simple usability make the Superloo a real innovation that makes corporate and public buildings ready for the future.
