Hotel refurbishment with eco-friendly kitchen and bathroom fixtures

Refurbishments provide an ideal opportunity to investigate eco-friendly products and design solutions that can provide ongoing energy and water savings.

This was precisely the approach taken by the Accor Vacation Club Apartments at Twin Waters on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. The hotel wanted efficient fixtures and fittings that would complement other sustainable design initiatives introduced in the refurbishment.

Improved water conservation was achieved by installing the latest efficient flush systems and reduced-flow tapware for all the bathrooms and kitchens in the hotel. These were supplied by GWA Bathrooms and Kitchens.

Ed Callander, GWA sales manager for sustainability, healthcare and government in Queensland, says Accor Vacation Club spent a lot of time looking at every available product before making a decision.

"The conversion was easy and cost effective, with GWA's products ensuring ongoing water savings for the hotel."

In the hotel bathrooms, the Caroma Metro wall-faced toilet suite combines contemporary design and practicality. This features Caroma's Smartflush® water-saving technology, and has a 4-star WELS rating.

The Caroma Liano above-counter vanity basin was specified for its minimalist, architectural styling, generous bowl area and distinctive tapware platform. This was matched with the Dorf Jovian basin mixer.

Callander says the Dorf Jovian European-style rail shower was selected for its sharp, crisp lines and smooth edges. The shower has a 3-star WELS rating.

In the kitchen, the Dorf Jovian sink mixer was paired with the Clark Razor sink, which has a distinctive square design, clean-lined edges and deep bowls. Manufactured in polished stainless steel, the Razor sink features special sound-absorption pads that reduce noise levels.

GWA Bathrooms & Kitchens provides comprehensive warranties and dedicated after-sales service for all products.
