Vicinity Centre Cranbourne Park, a single-level regional shopping centre located approximately 51km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, has recently upgraded its bathroom facilities. With 47% of visitors identified as families with children, as reported by Vicinity Data, Research & Insights, the new amenities reflect a thoughtful consideration of these demographics. A key feature of the upgrade is the installation of dual-height Corian® washplanes, designed to meet the needs of both adults and children.
The dual-height washplanes are a game-changer for family convenience. For parents, this innovative design means no more lifting children to reach the sink, as the lower height is perfectly tailored for young ones. This not only makes the handwashing process more comfortable for children but also promotes independence and the development of good hygiene habits from an early age.
By incorporating advanced sensor-activated technology, the washplanes provide a touchless experience for taps, soap dispensers, and hand dryers. This feature is particularly important in high-traffic public spaces, as it significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of germs. The touchless operation ensures a quick, easy, and sanitary handwashing experience, prioritising the health and safety of all visitors.
The bathroom upgrades at Cranbourne Park feature Corian® Solid Surface, a material renowned for its versatility and durability. Used in both the washplanes and splashback, Corian® offers numerous practical benefits. Its non-porous surface naturally resists stains, mould, and mildew. This characteristic is crucial for maintaining a hygienic environment, especially in a busy shopping centre setting.
Moreover, the seamless nature of Corian® enhances both aesthetics and hygiene. The washplanes are designed without joints or seams, preventing dirt and grime accumulation and creating a sleek, continuous surface. The choice of Corian® Carrara Lino specifically showcases the beauty of continuous veining, achieved through skilled fabrication. This design not only adds an elegant touch to the bathroom amenities but also ensures that bacteria have no hidden places to thrive.
The recent upgrades to the bathroom amenities showcases the centre’s commitment to providing high-quality, family-friendly facilities. By investing in these new amenities, Cranbourne Park not only improves the visitor experience but also sets a new standard for shopping centres in terms of accessibility, hygiene, and design excellence. Families can now enjoy a more convenient and safe shopping experience.
