Posted by Nata Rukhadze on

As spa enthusiasts, we recognize the importance of each little element in establishing a peaceful environment. In addition to the aesthetic and practicality of Helmsman lockers, cubicles, benches, vanity units and IPS, we want to share with you today some priceless advice on how to make the most of your spa changing room experience.

1. Organised storage for a vibrating vibe.

One of the key elements of a relaxing spa experience is an organised changing room. Lockers are an essential part where customers can store personal belongings in a secure trusted locker. These lockers not only provide plenty of storage but also customize the colour and material of lockers to complement the aesthetic of your spa.

An example of a past project is one of our past projects for Downpatrick Leisure Centre. The material was mixed between the laminate and glass locker, where the colours that were used for the glass lockers were green, which created thoughts of nature and freshness on the other hand, the laminate lockers were in brown tone symbolising the soil and vitality.

2. Luxurious Seating for Ultimate Relaxation

Comfortable seating is paramount for guests as they prepare for their pampering session. Helmsman benches offer the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication, as we are a manufacturing company, we provide bespoke benching as well as our standard benches.

3. Cubicles for a Personal Space

Privacy is a non-negotiable factor in any changing room.  Helmsman cubicles offer a private area for visitors to get ready and change, guaranteeing a feeling of peace.

Helmsmen offer a range of types of lockers in the material of laminate and glass cubicles. The glass cubicles provide a luxurious atmosphere.
