Stylish Prefabricated Bathrooms

Altor Prefabricated Bath

I was staying overnight in Glasgow, waiting for a flight. It was a spanking new hotel. The room was very small. If I were leaning toward obese, I would have been disappointed, but I was okay with small. I had everything I needed. A comfortable bed, good room temperature, lovely natural light with a view, a clothes rack, room for my suitcase, and even a TV, although TV programming in the UK is even worse than in the USA. What caught my attention and held it until I got home was the bathroom. It was brilliant! So I Googled it when I got home. Here they are. The brilliant company who figured out how to design prefabricated bathroom units that install in one hour, you can hose them down to clean them, are as small as they can possible be for a human being, and yet can qualify as a handicap accessible bathroom. I have been waiting for these for years.

Even the handicap bath only takes up 6 feet by 7.8 feet. The others average about 6.8 feet by 5.7 feet. My favorite is the Omega, topping out at 3.6 feet by 7.6 feet. Very tidy, and does not feel small inside. To clean them, you just need to hose them down inside. It all goes down the drain.

It is a French company. If you want one of these for your house, the shipping cost might be discouraging. But if you want 10 of them, I bet you would save many thousands of dollars by designing them into your project. PencilJazz plans to use them in future projects. Perhaps someone here in the USA also supply them. I will look into that. Here is the web address of the manufacturer. Bravo Altor!
