Turnkey refurbishment
IdealPod and Armitage Shanks have introduced Rapide 1-2-3 for updating outdated customer toilets in high-footfall settings. The suppliers describe it as a complete turnkey package intended to modernise facilities, limit disruption and reduce downtime during refurbishment. Target environments include fuel-station forecourts, restaurants, cafés, fast-food chains, gyms, leisure venues, supermarkets, DIY retailers, museums, educational establishments and public-sector facilities.
Pre-configured accessible design
The system combines IdealPod’s modular washroom panelling with accessible sanitaryware and fittings from Armitage Shanks. Its pre-configured approach is intended to ensure layouts, fittings and components operate together as one system, providing a faster alternative to conventional renovation work. The companies say the facilities are designed in line with Document M requirements and can help organisations address accessibility regulations while improving the customer experience.
Inclusion and supplier rationale
The suppliers present accessible washrooms as both a compliance consideration and part of an inclusive visitor experience. IdealPod Managing Director Ian Larner said the solution aims to make accessibility improvements faster, simpler and more achievable for organisations of different sizes. Armitage Shanks executive Tim Chappell said its products are designed to support Approved Document M compliance, alongside the durability and user experience expected in public and commercial spaces. These statements represent the companies’ perspectives and claims.
