Because we are a long-standing and financially stable business with a proven track record of delivering high-value projects, Bowmer & Kirkland trusted us to work along-side them as part of their team and awarded us the 2 new Bailey project with work commencing in February 2020. This was just before the COVID-19 national lockdown was announced and, despite the challenges we then faced arising from lockdown issues within our supply chain, social distancing protocols on site and ‘work from home’ rules, we strived to complete the programme on time… and we succeeded!
“Two New Bailey, Manchester has been a challenging project, but the professionalism of Inscape Interiors and their proactive attitude has been welcome. The quality of the washrooms is of a high standard and has been fitted with care and skill by their quality joiners. Any design issues have been resolved with a positive attitude and have never affected the tight programme. Deliveries have all arrived on time. Inscape Interiors are a credit to the industry.” Bowmer & Kirkland’s Senior Site manager.
The high specification design brief required by the client was fully met and will provide manyyears of use to the many working occupants of the building The cubicle doors were made from real wood veneers, all cut from the same tree to ensure the knots and shading of the timber was consistent, complete with hardwood edges offering fully private enclosed toilet facilities. The internal dividers and IPS duct systems were designed in a striking yellow to contrast with the external appearance. The washrooms were finished with mirrored wall units in timber framed surrounds, completing the room with a modern twist on a tradition look.
We manufactured and installed:
- Ligna – Flush Faced Veneered Toilet Cubicles
- Industria Plus – IPS Duct Panelling Systems
- Mirrored Wall Units
- Extremus Lockers
- Extremus Bench Seating
We’re thrilled that Bowmer & Kirkland chose us as the washroom contractor for such a transformative project and are proud of the lasting relationship that has formed since 2 New Bailey was completed.
