Why bathroom pods
Why residential suits manufactured bathrooms.
- 01
Apartment schemes repeat a handful of layouts, allowing one engineered bathroom to serve many units.
- 02
Premium tiled finishes, feature walls and bespoke sanitaryware are built to a signed-off sample.
- 03
Waterproofing is tested before delivery, so the leak risk in a stacked building is designed out.
- 04
Fewer trades in the apartment shortens the route from watertight to practical completion.
Relevant systems
Which Walker system fits.
Steel framed tiled pods suit private-sale and premium apartments where tiled aesthetics and design flexibility lead. One-piece GRP is specified on higher-repetition, longer-life residential schemes.
