Integrated Plumbing Systems (IPS) are altering how we construct and maintain restrooms, particularly in commercial and public settings. In this blog, we will be discussing what IPS panels are and why it’s becoming an essential solution for current plumbing requirements.
What are IPS panels?
Integrated Plumbing Systems refers to a way that the plumbing services are concealed, such as the pipes and cisterns behind the panels. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the washrooms but also provides various benefits.
Key Benefits of IPS Panels
- Durability and Protection: The Integrated Plumbing System conceals pipes and plumbing components behind the panels. The panels extend the lifespan and prevent damage and wear of the plumbing services.
- Cleanliness: IPS panels promote hygiene by creating a smooth surface that is easy to clean, reducing the collection of dirt and germs. This is an especially crucial part in settings where hygiene is important, such as in a healthcare facility.
- Easy Maintenance: They are designed for easy access. Cleaning duties can be completed quickly and efficiently without disrupting the washroom set-up. This reduces the downtime and inconvenience.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Covering the plumbing systems behind the panels creates a sleek and modern look within the washrooms. IPS panels can be tailored to match the surrounding fixtures and fittings, creating an appealing washroom.
Applications of IPS
IPS Panels are versatile and can be used in many sectors including:
- Commercial Washrooms: Enhancing the appearance and functionality of shopping centres, offices, mixed-use buildings and other commercial spaces.
