Could water panels elevate your leisure centre?

In a world where the leisure and play landscape is constantly developing, wellbeing and design now intertwine more than ever. Where bright colours and moving water draw customers in, leisure centres are rethinking how installations can promote creativity and sensory engagement.

Interactive wall panels provide the ideal solution for facilities looking to upgrade, without the need for a full-scale renovation. We have been developing these products since 2010, starting out as individual panels mounted to walls or on stainless steel legs. Over fifteen years, we have refined our designs into the sensory haven we offer today.

Each panel is made bespoke, and available in a variety of colours, sizes, themes and designs to suit your leisure facility. With different options depending on requirements, these panels provide high and low level tactile features, a variety of water jets, channels, bowls, and our state-of-the-art touch and sound game. These features are ideal for introducing younger children to water, allowing them to build confidence at their own pace.

A sensory playground

Each of our various panel types offer a wide range of elements for sensory exploration. The bright colours keep children engaged, inviting them to play, while strengthening visual processing in younger ones learning to differentiate shapes and patterns. The series of moving parts and mirrors provide plenty of stimulation, while encouraging turn-taking and motor skills. Our touch and sound panel features two sensors and speakers, which give a range of randomly selected commands with games and problem-solving tasks. This adds a new dimension to play, providing auditory, visual and tactile stimulation which keeps children occupied for longer.

Research-led design

The creation and development of our products are based off consumer-led insights. We have conducted extensive research into sensory play, learning and development in toddlers and young children, as well as the benefits of water and sensory play for disability groups. These panels have been tailored to mirror these findings, providing play features that meet the needs of specific groups.

 A full turnkey solution

We offer comprehensive manufacturing services for all our products. In-house manufacture and design in Plymouth cut out long supply chains, making your products our priority. Once the water panels are complete, our experienced team will carry out the installation at your facility, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free service from concept to completion.

 Space-saving

If you are short on space, water panels provide an ideal solution. These compact water features require little room, and can be attached to walls, used as barriers, placed to create zones, be installed on poolside, in shallow water, or on splash pads. This offers an extra dimension to your facility, providing plenty of enjoyment without compromising on space.

No water supply? No problem!

Our interactive wall panels offer sensory play without the need for a water supply. The bowl and channels panel is complete with moving parts, mirrors, bowls and channels to provide tactile and visual stimulation. With no attachment to water, there is the added freedom to place these walls in a variety of areas both indoors and outdoors.
