Factory International

Factory International in Manchester is a cultural art venue that facilitates creative co-curation using cutting-edge technology. Becoming a globally renowned destination for unforgettable art and cultural events, Factory International is proud to attract up to 850,000 visitors a year from across the world.

A landmark of large-scale and innovative design, it is capable of hosting everything from major concerts and opera performances to immersive theatre productions and exhibitions.

Factory International specified our full-height, privacy guaranteed toilet cubicles, Titan. The floor-to-ceiling toilet cubicle range delivers optimal privacy for unisex washroom areas at the site to ensure visitors feel comfortable and secure.

The Titan range is designed with innovative aluminium shoes that are fitted to pilasters for extra rigidity, as well as partitions that have rigid wall channels to give ultimate strength for a cubicle solution that can withstand heavy usage.

Titan cubicles offer anti-finger trap hinges and emergency release indicator bolts as standard, for prevention of injuries and the ability to gain rapid access to locked cubicles without the need to damage or remove doors. The cubicles were specified in High Pressure Laminate (HPL) due to the high strength and impact-resistant qualities of the material. HPL’s smooth surface also makes the toilet cubicles easy to clean and maintain, helping staff at the venue to adhere to strict cleaning policies.

The striking building also specified our industry-leading Vepps IPS panelling system, offering a simple click-fix assembly into an aluminium frame. Allowing a 50% faster installation time compared to plain panel alternatives, Factory International could adhere to construction deadlines and readily open the washroom facilities ahead of upcoming exhibitions. Vepps also ensures all duct spaces are concealed to keep staff and visitors safe while enabling easy ongoing maintenance thanks to its 90° linear bearing hinges.
