Newbold College

Privately owned further education establishment, Newbold College, sits in central Bracknell in Berkshire and boasts a beautiful listed building, situated in acres of landscaped grounds, at its core. The college plays host to students from across the world who pay to study and stay at the college. The house offers catering, residential and theological resources in addition to the more modern buildings on site.

As part of an upgrade to its facilities the college worked with Saniflo to specify shower cubicles from its Kinedo range and pumps from the Saniflo range for its refurbished bathrooms. At the request of students old cast iron baths have been replaced with Horizon shower cubicles with the waste water pumped through Sanishower pumps. Ian Clark is Site Engineer and was responsible for the choice of shower;

"The combination of Horizon cubicles and the Sanishower pumps has meant we don’t have to touch the fabric of the building. We can install the cubicles up against the re-decorated walls with no need for tiling and the water is pumped out through the Sanishowers to meet the soil stacks which are situated at an unusual height. Without the pumps we couldn’t have installed showers full stop."

Thanks to previously using Kinedo cubicles Ian has trained his site guys to fit the units themselves which helps to keep the costs down.

"The Horizons are very straightforward to install and maintenance is also simple. They feature Cristal Plus coating for easy cleaning which helps them to stay looking good for longer. Our students are happy and we are happy."
