What is a trough sink?
Specifically designed for communal hand washing, a wash trough bathroom sink replaces rows of individual sinks with one long narrow basin which can accommodate multiple users.
Premixed water is supplied at a fixed temperature from integrated or wall-mounted taps positioned at regular intervals. And one of the most popular features is that hand wash troughs don’t fill – helping to reduce the risk of flooding.
Types of trough sinks available:
Here at ONVO, we firmly believe that providing modern, safe and attractive washrooms, is a necessity, not a luxury. Gone are the days of desperately trying to conceal unsightly pipework or being restricted to unattractive, industrial looking stainless steel wash troughs.
Our range of wash troughs offers something for all settings. Take for example the ultra slim Latherwash 2D Curve – one of our wall-mounted wash troughs – which only protrudes 400mm from the wall making it a great space saver. Or the Latherwash 2N which can be fitted at a height of just 500mm – ideal for very young children.
All our wash troughs come in a range of standard lengths, typically starting at 600mm and extending to 3000mm (bespoke lengths available on request), with a choice of colours, sensors taps and soap dispensers to choose from – so we’re confident we can provide the ideal trough sinks for schools of all shapes and sizes.
Wash troughs for schools – why they are the way forward!
Historically, school toilets have been unpleasant places, serving as a magnet for vandalism and bullying. Thankfully, back in 2007, the government introduced the concept of open plan bathrooms. And, as part of this revolution, official guidance from the Department for Education recommended providing communal handwashing facilities with trough sinks.
Benefits of trough sinks for schools include:
- Simple to install
- Attractive
- Cost-effective
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Allow for easy supervision from staff
- Help to reduce vandalism
- Help to reduce bullying
