Our response
This project was completely designed by the in-house team at Virtue Homes.
Our aim was to create a modern, fresh, clean look within the wash bays, part of this was to avoid using tiles. Our team researched a suitable paint that could withhold the chemicals and punishment of a car wash which has achieved a great result.
Modern claddings were chosen, including nail strip and Exotec panel system to provide a classy look and feel.
All points of the brief were achieved with high quality components used throughout, which will be a big advantage in years to come by providing excellent reliability.
