Tecnical information

GRP = Glass-fibre Reinforced Plastic

The prefabricated bathroom pod made of GRP is a self-supporting unit, composed by a floor with a tray-shape, walls and a ceiling. All parts are made with the same material (GRP); which has a small weight and a waterproof surface. The composition of the panels is the special characteristic of the product line called Saniflex: Sanika uses a compound made of layers of different materials (sandwich) with a total thickness of about 3 cm.

The wall panels made of GRP are composed as follows:

1. gelcoat layer: pigmented resin with a easy-to-clean, scratch-resistant and waterproof surface,
   therefore ideal for the use in bathrooms.
2. GRP layer
3. Insulation layer: PU foam or wood
4. GRP layer
   

These multilayer GRP-panels provide the ideal stiffness and stability for the bathroom pod, while keeping a low weight.
The Saniflex bathroom pods can be offered in two different variants, according to the installation method:

1. The prefabricated bathroom pod will be lifted as complete units in to the building (ideal for new constructions)
2. The pod will be preassembled in the factory, but transported into the building as a separate-components kit, and finally assembled in the room. (particularly suitable for refurbishments)

The production of the outer cell of the bathroom pod requires special moulds. Sanika offers a large variety of ready-available different shapes. If no mould meets your requirements, than new ones can be produced with your footprint, even in case of small production volumes.
