A Terrapin product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Aug 6, 2010

Terrapin has developed a bathroom pod concept that incorporates the MMC technologies to deliver flexibility for both commercial and residential projects.

Terrapin can advise on meeting specific market sector requirements, for example HTM (Health Technical Memoranda), Hotel, RSL (Registered Social Landlords), Nursery, MOD, as well as with building regulations and DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) requirements.

Modular bathroom pod design from Terrapin

Terrapin's design service includes determining an outline concept proposal for the bathroom pod which, once approved by the client, forms the basis of the layout and construction detail.

Terrapin's team then works closely with the client, project teams and architects, where necessary, to ensure the project is developed quickly and efficiently and that it meets the full requirements.

On a recent project, Terrapin developed a lightweight concrete floor that met the client's brief for providing a robust, solid surface, but that caused no issues with delivery or installation on site.

Terrapin's bathroom pods reflect the highest quality, UK-based manufacturing service for which the company is renowned.

This includes producing a fully tiled, painted and serviced bathroom pod, which is finished to a very high standard and incorporates the latest, most innovative materials to create bathroom solutions, which cannot be replicated by traditional on-site manufacture.

Bathrooms offer environmental benefits, with Terrapin's offsite manufacturing method leading to a lower carbon footprint, lower levels of waste and reduced deliveries, which minimises fuel consumption and disruption to residents.

Use of bathroom pods also helps to reduce construction times, due to the number of trades involved, which makes it easier to meet client deadlines.

Terrapin operates to ISO90001 quality standards and is renowned for its right first time approach.

This means that every component is checked before leaving the factory - ensuring clients of the highest quality build on site.
