Complete Bathroom

Aluminium Fly Screens
The building comes with aluminium flyscreens, providing an effective solution for keeping insects out while allowing fresh air to circulate. Lightweight and durable, these flyscreens are designed to fit securely over windows and vents, offering long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance.
Rain Sill
The entry door is equipped with a rain sill to prevent rainwater from dripping into the interior. This feature directs water away from the doorframe, ensuring that it doesn't seep inside or cause damage to the flooring or walls.
Adjustable Feet
