The Bathroom Pod is not a structural element subject to fire loads; therefore the compliance to Fire-Resistance standard in not relevant but in exceptional cases. Therefore basic versions (both in concrete and steel boarded frame) have no fire rating.
In the case of the concrete pod (CBM), Fire resistance is calculable and can be achieved in two degrees: 30 minutes and 60 minutes, by upgrading the walls construction; for concrete pods by thickening the walls and using...
Acoustic insulation is obtained acting on pod shell and coverings materials, and it is calculable. If particular performances are requested, they will be agreed and a solution will be found during the design period, together with the design team members.
No. StercheleGroup® technology allows a total architectural and dimensional freedom. When the width and/or height exceed m. 2.50, transport costs are affected. In these cases a good alternative is to divide the cell into two parts to be laid side by side in the final position.
Yes. If the project requires it, the floor is laid directly on the slab and bathroom pods are then produced without the floor.
Yes. StercheleGroup® realizes rectangular, round and full height windows. Of course, since bathroom pods must have walls all around, the hole of the window must coincide with the one within the exterior wall and the counter frame and the frame of the window must have a suitable thickness to compensate the external wall together with the pod wall.
