A Premier Drainage Solution for an Iconic Venue
Few locations in the UK are as iconic as Wembley Stadium. Known as the home of English football, it hosts some of the biggest sporting and entertainment events in the world. So, when it came time to renovate the shower rooms used by players on match day, the drainage had to meet the highest standards in both performance and aesthetics.
The Challenge: Aged Showers with Drainage Issues
After 17 years of constant use, the main players' shower rooms, along with those for ball boys and girls, were showing signs of wear and inefficiency. The existing drainage system relied on multiple gullies, creating an uneven floor with inconsistent falls. This led to water pooling and even seeping out into the entrance areas—far from ideal for a high-traffic, professional sports facility.
Interkey Contractors, the main contractor for the project, was tasked with delivering a full strip-out and refurbishment of the shower areas. Their goal was not just to modernize the space but to resolve long-standing drainage issues, ensuring the new showers would be both visually impressive and functionally superior.
The Solution: Frost Linear Drainage
Having discovered Frost Drainage as the original supplier of the existing shower drains, Interkey reached out to explore a more effective linear drainage solution for the renovation. Rather than multiple gullies, which had created problems in the past, they opted for Frost’s stainless steel linear drainage system. This offered several key benefits:
- Improved Water Flow & Efficiency – By installing a continuous linear drain, the entire shower area could be designed with a single, controlled fall on each side, ensuring efficient water drainage and eliminating pooling issues.
- Enhanced Aesthetics – A sleek, modern slot drainage system provided a cleaner and more professional look compared to the previous setup.
- Bespoke Design for a Perfect Fit – Every detail of the Frost drainage system was tailored to meet Wembley Stadium’s specific requirements, ensuring a seamless integration with the new flooring.
- Reliable Performance Under Pressure – With high-profile players using the showers regularly, the system needed to be robust, durable, and easy to maintain. Frost’s stainless steel drainage delivered exactly that.
From the start of me first making contact, with the team they were happy to work in creating a design, meeting the needs for the project, there was very back and forth in kind of what I wanted, the client wanted, and they're able to come up with a design and yeah they've been great, communication has been great with Frost Drainage and for me that's a massive factor because I'm very much you know pick up the phone I need help and and they were there to help and even afterwards with aftercare helping me has been great. Most definitely, I'd recommend Frost Drainage.
