Connecting the dots for Architects and Interior Designers
According to some, an architect’s biggest challenge when designing a washroom is often optimizing the limited space available while ensuring functionality, accessibility, and meeting building codes and regulations. But often overlooked is incorporating aesthetic elements and materials that are both durable and easy to maintain.
ATS Spec Tool has made it easier for anyone who is involved in the design process of a washroom or locker room.
Review Color Charts
Spec Tool will now show you all the color charts or swatches for partitions, lockers, stone lavatory and multi lavatory systems. To see the swatches click on any Series of Partitions and click on the Swatch Preview tab.
If you need more time to decide the finish simply click “To Be Determined” and when you download the Submittal or Product Brochure you will have a copy of the STANDARD COLORS & PATTERNS for the specific Partition, Locker or Multi-lav you selected. This should help make your finish selection easier in the future.
Coordinated Construction Documents
After the decision on partition and lockers is made and approved download a new and improved CSI 3 part specification. This updated 3 part specification is customized to the product you just configured and is ready to add to your Project Manual with little to no edits.
