Uridan water-free urinals provide solution to water leakage at winchmore school - London
KWC DVS Limited
Winchmore School has completed a washroom refit specifying Franke’s Uridan waterless urinal pods. The Uridan system is available exclusively through Franke Sissons in the UK and Ireland and is manufactured from glass reinforced plastic which is far more resilient than ceramic and provides reassuring security against vandalism.

There are other water-free products available for this type of installation but we wanted assurance it would stand the wear and tear of secondary school pupils and be completely odour free.”
National Army Museum, London SW3
James Latham

Officially re-opened in March 2017 by Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip, it has been transformed into five bright thematic galleries.

ASF were approached to replace some tired yet serviceable handrailing at the old Bradford Library in a change of use project.
