CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR PUBLIC RESTROOMS
Recreational and Urban planned projects take years of planning, development, funding and approvals to get completed. An enjoyable experience for the visitors is the primary outcome and still most end up with….
We want to do better.
What:
An ADA compliant, 100% Aluminum, restroom enclosure with natural daylight interior. With proper maintenance they can last a lifetime and be upgraded, customized, easily cleaned, retrofitted and remodeled as desired. They hold up to most graffiti and vandalism. They can be transported on a flat bed trailer and easily installed.
Why:
Public Demand - Having public space means providing a public bathrooms. Bathrooms promote longer use of designated trails and parks and encourages people to remain outside longer. They also help keep public spaces cleaner and more attractive.
Beautification - Our PREs strive to match the attractiveness and beauty of parks natural environment. Portable toilets are ugly, have a bad reputation and appear temporary.
Economical - The PREs we provide are a permanent solution. Government grants can help offset the initial purchasing cost. Once the PRE is in place, maintenance costs for pumping a 1000 gallon tank is lower than emptying a small portable one more frequently.
Vandal Proof - Portable toilets are flimsy and made of plastic. They can be easily destroyed, damaged and set on fire. Their lightweight material can be blown or pushed over. The walls of our PREs are made of angle aluminum that has an attractive texture on the exterior that cuts down the ability to graffiti on the outside walls. It is flame proof and harder than wood or plastic to cut or carve into.
Maintenance - Our larger more spacious units provide better airflow which absorbs untidiness and allows proper cleaning to happen at a more manageable pace. Due to their small size, portables need more cleaning in order to keep up with usage. Our PRE’s aluminum interior can be power washed when necessary without damage to the aluminum siding. Unlike wood structures, there is no rot or need to refinish every year.
