Steel framed system
Steel framed
tiled bathroom pods.
A heavy-gauge C-section steel framed pod with a fully specified, fully tiled interior. The architectural finish a site fit-out would target — built in controlled factory conditions.
Steel lead time
Order to site in twenty-eight weeks.
Construction
Engineered subframe.
Specified interior.
The steel framed pod is built around a precision-fabricated C-section subframe. The frame carries the structural load, defines the geometry and provides the lifting interface.
Walls, floor and ceiling are then tanked with a factory-applied tanking system and finished to specification — full ceramic or porcelain tiling, WRAS-approved sanitaryware and brassware, lighting, ventilation and finishes — all assembled and tested before the pod leaves the factory.

Every layer of the steel framed pod is designed and assembled in the factory — from the welded steel subbase to the WRAS-approved fixtures and premium internal finish.
Anatomy of a pod
One subframe.
Six engineered layers.
Every Walker steel framed pod is built from a welded steel base up — frame, tanked boards, insulation, tiling, WRAS-approved fixtures and services assembled in sequence under factory conditions.
