Two into One will go!
05 July 2011
Hoyles Electronic Developments Shared Bathroom Solution allows architects and developers of public buildings and care homes to save both space and costs.
For example the desirability to have en-suite facilities for each bedroom in a residential home places an enormous burden in terms of the cost of fitting out bathrooms and devoting space within the build to accommodate perhaps dozens of bathrooms. These are fairly typical of rooms found in a residential home and whilst dimensions will vary from building to building the principle remains the same.
The space required for the usual arrangement of two rooms in the example above can be significantly reduced by using a Shared Bathroom Solution. The savings are further compounded by halving the bathroom furnishings and install costs. Alternatively better or larger facilities can be provided at the same cost on the same footprint.
Hoyles interlock controllers have become standard equipment across many industries. One of Hoyles customers, TS-Uk Ltd have installed many such systems within their prestigious client base. Terry Lawrence, Managing Director of TS-Uk Ltd says “Hoyles Shared Bathroom Solution allows us to provide our customers with a cost effective solution allowing savings in both space and installation time.
Hoyles technical knowledge and ability to solve the most complex of interlocking problems leads us back to their door time and again.”

The Shared Bathroom Solution from Hoyles is a cost effective way of allowing two doors to be controlled and interlocked to maintain privacy and to ensure that the facility is available for use by either user immediately after use. The controller along with the peripheral equipment also ensures that security cannot be breached. It is just not possible to pass through from bedroom one to bedroom two under any circumstances. Users can only return to the area from which they came. Presence sensors and intelligent software control, looks after the whole process.
The use is not just restricted to residential homes. The controller has been used in schools where disabled toilet facilities have to be shared between the school and another local authority organisation attached to the school without compromising the security and safety of the school. Other applications include meeting rooms shared between two organisations in the same building.
In addition to the cost and space saving benefits the Shared Bathroom Solution can also offer other benefits. Comprehensive features include assistance alert. The occupant can generate a call using a pull cord for example. The controller will signal to a remote point or other nurse call system and unlock the occupant’s door to allow a helper to gain access. An anti-hogging alert is incorporated to give warning of extended occupancy and a similar alert is given if a door is propped open. If sensors are available for running water and consumables then these conditions can also be signalled. The controller is also capable of controlling the room lighting.
Hoyles provide the control hardware, ancillary buttons, indicators, presence sensors and magnetic door retainers as required.
