Since launching our new Twitter account (@cubiclecentre) in the Winter edition of Washroom Review, it has been great to see some of you ‘Follow’ us and keep up-to-date with the goings on here in West Yorkshire. If you are already involved on Twitter please also check out @SocialSpec – an idea formed in collaboration by myself and Darren Lester of SpecifiedBy (more below).

Over the last six months Cubicle Centre has introduced new products and services for a better customer experience.

Our Pendle™ range has expanded with the introduction of Pendle Junior™ (page 4) and the Pendle™ Panel System, suitable for WC and Urinal configurations.

These off-the-shelf products have been added to the revised Plumbware.co.uk product offering – all of which can now be purchased online (page 8).

Here at Cubicle Centre we pride ourselves on offering a personal and knowledgeable service to our customers.

We have taken this one-step further this year and really upped our game in terms of the tools and assistance we offer to specifiers. 2D CAD (.dwg) and 3D BIM (.rfa) files are now available to download for each product along with updated NBS Plus specifications.

As always, please get in touch if you have any feedback or require additional help (my contact details are below). On the topic of specification, allow me to introduce SpecifiedBy. I’m pleased to announce Cubicle Centre products are listed on this new platform aimed at the Construction industry.

Unlike most of the competition, SpecifiedBy are leading the way with innovation and listening to what people actually want from online product specification tools.Check them out at: www.specifiedby.com

To finish on I’d like to inform everyone about Cubicle Centre’s progress with Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Unfortunately I have run out of room though! Fear not, you can read the full story onwww.washroomreview.co.uk

I hope you enjoy Our BIM Journey… So Far and welcome any comments or questions on the subject. Have a great Summer.

Madejski Stadium was opened in August 1998 at a total cost of more than £50m. The stadium is home to Reading Football Club and London Irish Rugby Club, boasting a capacity of over 24,000.

The magnificent playing arena has won high praise from sports fans all around the world, and has been named Europe’s Best Mid-Sized Arena by American TV Sports Channel ESPN.

Cubicle Centre Ltd supplied the cubicles for the luxury executive floor.

The men’s washroom consisted of the Malvern Plus range in Speckled Anthracite for a elegant finish. Three enclosed cubicles were accompanied by ten urinal panel systems along with matching vanity units.

The women’s executive washroom used the Cotswold range for its style and durability. The nine enclosed cubicles have Compact Grade Laminate (CGL) doors in an Oak finish with Cream partitions.
