The equipment of locker rooms and common areas in companies is an aspect to be treated with great care and detail. Nowadays, no one is unaware of the direct relationship that exists between the productivity and well-being of workers and the optimization of the equipment.
But do you really know how to optimize this relationship? Lockers, cabins... they are not all the same, nor do they all meet the same needs. Depending on the problem you are trying to solve, your company will need, for example, one type of employee locker or another.
In this article we are going to explain 5 examples of 5 needs that various companies in our country were looking to solve and how Megablok was able to provide the best solution. Because being the leader in equipping companies begins with understanding the specific needs of each one of them.
Employee lockers: 5 needs, 5 different solutions
The first step in offering the best equipment solution to a company is to understand what it needs. Megablok does not sell lockers “in bulk”, but studies each case
to provide the most appropriate solution. Pay attention to the following cases:
Need 1: Separation between street clothes and personal objects and work clothes
The meat company Litera Meat needed specific equipment in which its workers would have two clearly separated areas within their employee lockers, on the one hand, a space to store their personal objects and street clothes, and on the other, the clean clothes that the laundry personnel leave in their lockers every day.
Understanding this need, Megablok proposed the manufacture of water-repellent melamine lockers with phenolic doors (being a space with a certain degree of humidity), with two separate interior areas for both purposes. At the same time, combination locks were installed so that employees could open the lockers without the need for a key and laundry personnel could access them in the same way.

2: Organization of footwear and storage of tuppers
Grupo Alacant, a well-known company in the artisan ice cream sector, needed to expand its changing room area due to the growth of its team, but wanted to do so while covering certain important needs.
On the one hand, they wanted to maintain order and a high degree of hygiene in terms of employee footwear. On the other hand, as in the previous case, they were looking for a separation between dirty clothes and clean clothes. And finally, the company also needed a place where its workers could leave their tuppers or snacks before entering the locker room.
Once Megablok gathered all this information, it proposed the optimal solutions for each case, such as lockers for employees in phenolic material and L-shaped doors, special cabinets to store different types of clothing, lockers open at the front and back for footwear, and wall lockers with transparent methacrylate door for employees' food.

3: Comfortable and hygienic equipment for a dry environment
The renovated Hotel Canfranc, located in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees, needed new furniture for its workers' changing rooms. Specifically, it is a dry environment in which to change comfortably and maximizing the hygiene of the space.
With this in mind, Megablok proposed the solution of L-shaped monoblock metal lockers, to hang clothes comfortably and cleanly, as well as to deposit footwear in the widest part of these lockers for employees.
In addition, legs were added to raise them off the floor, with the aim of making cleaning easier and avoiding dirt and the generation of bacteria.

Need
4: Equipment for a very humid environment
Just as you wouldn't put diesel in a gasoline car, you shouldn't install lockers for dry environments in locker rooms with high humidity. And unfortunately this happens frequently.
To illustrate this case we will talk about the Metropole Swimming Club in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which needed new equipment for its center (in this case for its clients, not for its workers).
Being a space of extreme humidity, the solution provided was cabins, benches and phenolic lockers, as it is the material that best resists moisture thanks to its water-repellent properties, besides being also a fireproof and antibacterial material.

Need
5: Office compartments for different employees
This last scenario takes us to the leading home appliance company BSH, specifically to its administrative offices. Their need was as follows: They needed to place some lockers in the offices for the use of their workers, but that were not assigned in a particular way so that they could be used by different employees.
Need understood, solution in place. Thus, Megablok proposed the office equipment solution for its “open spaces” family, with phenolic door and manual combination lock. In this way, it was possible to optimize the space because it was not necessary to place as many lockers as workers, since not all of them used them at the same time.
