Washroom controls

Controlling the washroom is a must in certain environments, particularly in high security or mental health. Our washroom control box is capable of controlling 10 outlets and two flushvalves, allowing independent control of two rooms.

Why choose our materials?

GRP

The high security Glass reinforced polyester (GRP) products from security basins, WCs, and accessories. This material is a single skin configuration which has three different weaves of glass fibre to give the product a good internal structural integrity, this is then impregnated with polyester resin to produce the strong and extremely durable composite material.

Stainless steel solutions

The high security range features heavy-duty stainless-steel showers, WCs, wash troughs, urinal pods and janitorial units. Franke have also designed a range of wave on/off flushing systems and behind the wall control systems for a full solution in all types of high security and custodial environments.
