The plans of the various toilet blocks offered by Francioli can be viewed. The product sheets for each model of toilet block presented on our website are available for viewing and downloading.

Francioli has developed effective techniques and equipment to combat vandalism in public facilities. Our toilet blocks are constructed in concrete, an extremely robust and durable material that can withstand vandalism.

Francioli ensures that the hygiene of its various public toilet blocks remains impeccable by incorporating a range of innovative technologies. Our self-cleaning toilets are equipped with automated flushing systems, as well as seat disinfection and drying systems that activate automatically after each flush. The cubicle itself features an automated floor-washing system which activates after each use, as well as an air purification system and a high-performance mechanical ventilation system. The use of this equipment enables Francioli to guarantee absolute hygiene for its various models of toilet blocks.

Francioli ensures that users of its public toilets remain safe and protected by installing a range of special equipment. For example, manual door opening systems and automatic door unlocking after 15 minutes are standard features for toilet blocks. User safety inside the single-cubicle unit is also guaranteed by the installation of non-slip flooring and inaccessible piping and fittings. These precautions guarantee that the users of Francioli toilets remain safe and protected.

The public toilets designed and distributed by Francioli comply with all current standards, particularly NF P 99-611, which has been in force since 1992 and specifies the various accessibility requirements to be met by PRM toilets (minimum dimensions, special equipment, etc.). Our single-cubicle units are also M0 fire-rated and their electrical safety is checked rigorously.

Of course! All Francioli’s public toilet models can be customized. Our goal is to meet all needs and requirements in terms of functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics.By allowing our entire range of public toilets to be customized, we know we can provide you with equipment that will blend perfectly in any architectural environment and provide a comprehensive solution to your problems.

There are many advantages to single-cubicle and modular outdoor public toilets, for example. The blocks are made from concrete, making them highly resistant to both weather impacts (wind, rain, hail, UV rays, salt, temperature variations, etc.) and to acts of vandalism. Outdoor toilet blocks are also fitted with secure automatic locking and unlocking systems. Last but not least, Francioli pays particular attention to the aesthetics of its various models of outdoor public toilets, making them easy to integrate into different types of public space. As such, we offer a wide range of options and finishes for the exteriors.

Coherent street furniture can improve a city's image as it integrates naturally with the architectural style, enhancing it, but without being ostentatious. While we don’t need to homogenize street furniture on a city-wide scale, one common practice is to define a street furniture style for each architecturally distinct area of the community. Francioli has developed several collections of concrete urban benches, passenger shelters, rest areas, concrete bollards, fountains and concrete litter bins and ashtrays in order to help cities develop a certain degree of harmony in their street furniture. Each product line has an intrinsic stylistic identity which can suit a wide range of urban settings.

Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete, also known by the acronym UHPFRC, or UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete), has a special composition that gives it significant mechanical advantages. UHPFRC is characterized by extreme compressive strength combined with reduced porosity and fibre reinforcement for enhanced strength.As a result, Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete is more resistant to impact, wear, abrasion and climatic variations. The tensile and compressive strengths of UHPC are also better than with conventional concrete.For these reasons, Francioli has chosen to use UHPFRC to manufacture its range of street furniture: rest areas, concrete benches, passenger shelters, water fountains, concrete litter bins and ashtrays, etc. This enables us to produce top-quality products that are both durable and resistant to the hazards of the urban environment.

Street furniture can have a major influence on the accessibility of public spaces for persons with reduced mobility (PRM). Since the Mobility and Handicap Act was introduced, urban amenities have been subject to a large number of standards and regulations that local authorities and manufacturers of urban amenities (public toilets, public benches, concrete bollards, rest areas, etc.) must comply with. As a designer and supplier of street furniture, Francioli makes sure that all of its product ranges: street furniture, public toilets, etc. comply with the many PMR accessibility standards in application.

Street furniture is highly important as it performs a number of functions in public spaces. Street furniture must enhance user comfort. For example, urban benches are highly appreciated by users when they want to sit down to wait, relax or enjoy the environment (especially in parks). Passenger shelters enable users of public transport to wait for their connections out of the rain and wind.Street furniture should be a real asset for a community. Custom-designed, modern, original or discreet... there are a range of possibilities when it comes to choosing street furniture. Street furniture must also be sturdy enough to withstand vandalism. This means that it must be strong. Concrete is a material renowned for its durability and resistance to vandalism and weather conditions (rain, wind, UV rays...).

Commonly employed in public spaces, our toilets will meet both your requirements as well as those of your users. Our various ranges of public toilets have been designed to offer optimum user comfort without burdening local authorities with costly maintenance requirements.

Francioli also offers multi-cubicle public toilets. They can handle larger flows of users. They are specially designed with meticulous engineering, they are of a sturdy construction, quick to install and easy to operate in the long term.

Conceived by the designer Patrick Meynier, the Box in Box is a new concept in scalable public toilets which can cover most requirements from public places to private buildings. The system is entirely modular and each customer can create the toilet unit which best suits their site, budget and aesthetic requirements... The number of cubicles, the services included, the styles, colours and material finishes can all be customized as desired.

Francioli’s bin shelters optimize waste collection by centralizing waste in a single location and protecting it.
