The pod frames are now fitted with 150mm nylon wheels to enable them to be moved up the finishing production lines where a number of different finishing processes are carried out under ISO 9001 supervised conditions; taping, tanking, first fix, tiling, painting, second fix, cleaning, final testing and quality approval checks.
The wet areas of the pod are double-waterproofed prior to tiling using an approved PCI tanking system. This entails applying two coats of tanking gum and rubber tape in the 90° corners to render the pod intrinsically waterproof prior to tiling.
The mobile assembly lines represent an extremely efficient manufacturing process which enables both high-volume production and advanced quality control. Each line has several tooled workbench areas, each dedicated to a different element of production - tiling, plumbing fitting, electrical and final cleaning.
