Engineering Communication

As a rule, engineering communications are an aspect that is given the main attention when designing SPA-salons, hairdressing salons, beauty parlors and other similar institutions. The project organization, whose services it is mandatory to involve at this stage, has sufficient experience and knowledge in the field of what requirements are imposed on heating, ventilation, water supply and sewerage systems, and electricity supply. But first things first.

• The air conditioning and ventilation system must be sufficiently productive and, most importantly, separate. This is especially important if it is a SPA-salon, organized in an apartment. SPA-procedures in their majority involve the use of various cosmetic compositions, aromamasel, etc. Care should be taken to ensure that all evaporation is removed in a timely manner from the premises and does not cause inconvenience to people living in neighboring apartments or buildings located in close proximity.
• Water supply and sewerage should also work properly and be designed for a certain load (water supply for washing hair before cutting / after painting, showering after wrapping, washing towels, bathrobes, etc., wet cleaning of premises, etc.).
• Heating. The most demanded services of SPA-salons are massages, wraps, face and body skin peels, a solarium, that is, procedures during which clients are partially or completely naked. To make the guests of the cabin feel comfortable, the room should be moderately warm and humid. Therefore, it is necessary to properly design the heating system (as an option - a "warm" floor).
• Power supply is not less important. Wiring should be designed for increased loads, as in the cabin there will be quite a lot of different equipment. In addition, as a result of a more substantial consumption of electricity by the passenger compartment, there should be no interruptions in the supply of "light" to neighbors. Therefore, it is advisable to think about approaching the building / building of a separate line.

As you can see, there are a lot of subtleties. Therefore, it is better to trust professionals to make the base for your business truly reliable and, importantly, completely legalized.
