Explore how Venesta’s robust and innovative washroom solutions are meeting the unique demands of custodial environments, supporting the UK Government’s ambitious prison expansion plans with tailored designs that ensure safety, durability, and efficiency.
The UK Government recently announced ambitious plans to expand prison capacity to address the growing inmate population and modernise custodial facilities. With new sites and expanded facilities on the horizon, these plans are set to transform the landscape of custodial environments. This expansion underscores the critical need for infrastructure solutions that are not only robust and durable but also meet the unique demands of high-security settings.
The Government's strategy involves creating 20,000 additional prison places across the country by the mid-2020s. This initiative includes the construction of six new prisons and the extension of existing facilities to increase capacity. These plans reflect the pressing need to alleviate overcrowding while ensuring that new and updated facilities are equipped to handle the complexities of modern custodial care.
As these facilities take shape, a focus on safety, durability and efficiency will be paramount. Washroom facilities, in particular, are essential components of these environments, playing a significant role in maintaining hygiene, safety and the overall wellbeing of inmates and staff.
At Venesta, we understand the unique challenges presented by custodial environments. Our Prison cubicle range has been specifically engineered to meet these demands with features that ensure both safety and durability.
Uncompromising durability: Constructed from 13mm Solid Grade Laminate (SGL), our Prison cubicles are impact-resistant, scratch-resistant and waterproof. The robust material is ideal for both wet and dry environments, ensuring longevity even in the most challenging conditions.
Anti-vandal design: With security fixings and anti-vandal materials, our cubicles are designed to prevent tampering and withstand harsh conditions. This ensures the safety of inmates and staff while reducing maintenance needs.
Enhanced safety features: Our cubicles include reduced door heights for staff supervision, emergency release indicator bolts for quick access to inside locked cubicles and anti-finger trap hinges to minimise injuries.
Customisable options: Available in 34 colours, our Prison cubicles can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each facility, providing both functionality and aesthetic flexibility.
With the Government’s commitment to modernising and expanding prison infrastructure, Venesta’s expertise in durable and secure washroom solutions is more relevant than ever. By specifying Venesta’s Prison cubicle range, custodial facilities can ensure that their commercial washroom environments meet the highest standards of safety, durability and hygiene.
As the UK’s custodial facilities prepare for a new era of expansion and modernisation, Venesta is proud to support this transformation with commercial washroom solutions that stand the test of time.
