The UK government’s ambitious pledge to build 1.5 million homes will put offsite construction firmly in the spotlight. Velstone’s modular bathroom and kitchen solid surfaces provide a quick and robust solution.

Offsite construction relies on speed and building products that can streamline the building process.

Products like Velstone’s modular bathroom and kitchen surfaces are becoming increasingly essential and as a leading manufacturer and supplier of solid surfaces, the company is setting new standards for offsite construction for durability, aesthetics, and practicality in the sector while meeting its fast-paced demands.

Sameer Sawant, Velstone’s Director, explained: “One and a half million new homes will mean, at the bare minimum, same number of kitchens and bathrooms over the next five years. But hitting that target will require speed & mindful planning and offsite construction is all about speed and budgets.

“What sets us apart from others with our project services is that we specialise in supplying a precise, factory finished product at high volume. Instead of just manufacturing in sheet form, we can manufacture the bathroom panels in bulk and in the past week alone we have supplied for over 650 bathrooms for a project. It shows we are set up for offsite construction, which is all about volumes, speed and working to tight budgets.  

“Quick lead times are essential in modular construction. “Our manufacturing process allows us to deliver products promptly, keeping projects on schedule, and they have been designed for precise machining, straightforward assembly, reducing installation time and complexity on-site.

“We’ve also developed our products to suit all budgets without compromising on quality. This makes them an attractive option for developers looking to balance cost with long-term value.”

Velstone’s high-quality bathroom surfaces, including custom vanity tops, cistern panels, shower walls, and threshold panels, are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. Similarly, their kitchen surfaces, perfect for worktops, islands, backsplashes, and breakfast bars, combine functionality with style.

The solid surfaces are non-porous and hygienic, preventing the growth of mould and fungi – a crucial factor in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They’re also incredibly easy to clean and maintain, resistant to moisture, heat, stains, scratches, and general wear and tear.

Flexibility is another key feature. Available in custom dimensions and colours, and in standard thicknesses of 13mm and 25mm, surfaces can be tailored to fit any installation making them suitable for a wide range of projects, from bathrooms and kitchens for a student accommodation project to a modular home build.

Perhaps most importantly, Velstone’s modular kitchen and bathroom surfaces provide the ideal balance between aesthetics and functionality. “In offsite construction, it’s crucial to create spaces that feel like home from the moment they’re installed,” Sameer added.

“Our modular surfaces achieve this by combining beautiful designs with practical features, ensuring that the end result is both visually appealing and highly functional. They have also been designed with the offsite construction process in mind and created a product that not only enhances the living experience but also streamlines the building process, making it an ideal choice for offsite construction projects.”
