Some of the things to consider:
These are just a few of the items to consider when laying out your design.
Every project is different and will have specific design criteria: that said there are a few items that most well thought out car washes have and that Modernwash typically promotes in our buildings. Contact Us for more ideas.
Some of the things to consider:
- How will your building layout on the site?
- How will your staff interact with the client - at the pay station, at the entrance, within the tunnel, at the exit?
- Visibility of the site for the operator
- Visibility as the vehicles load on the conveyor
- Visibility inside the tunnel
- Visibility of the vehicle exiting / un-loading
- Staff access to the tunnel
- Do I need to have an office on the drivers side or passenger side of the vehicle?
- Staff access to vehicles in trouble within the tunnel
- Where do I need to load the vehicle - will the correlator be entirely inside of the building structure or can it be exterior under a canopy?
- Visibility of the client while being serviced thru out the tunnel experience
- Placement of office area for currency / bookkeeping
- Do I need a viewing wall at the office area or in other areas?
- Do I need a chemical wall and where do I place it?
- Maintenance access for the equipment
- Access for chemical loading / unloading
- Restroom Placements
- Do you need to provide a restroom facility to public access?
- Do you need to provide handicap access? - This answer is yes in most cases

- Extended Canopy - if you are loading at the exterior of the car wash this extension canopy helps to keep inclement weather conditions effects to a minimum.
- Man Door At The Office Area - This door access to the tunnel early in the loading process is an essential benefit for your staff accessibility to the tunnel
- Viewing Wall - at the office or loading area so that your staff can check the servicing of the vehicle thru the tunnel process
- PVC Man Door Equipment Room To Tunnel - This can be placed where you want it judging on the chemical distribution areas within the tunnel. This door allows your staff to quickly enter the tunnel if there is an issue or if you have few staff then there are able to monitor the operation more effectively.
- PVC Cladding At Tunnel / Equipment Room Divisor Wall - This tongue and groove cladding allows for increased ease of cleaning.
- Chemical Wall - This PVC or Glass wall system separates the chemical distribution away from the drying area of the tunnel. This separation keeps chemical overspray to a minimum while the drying or last stage of the car service is completed.
- Handicap Accessible Restroom / Office Facilities - even if you think that you don't need this now you will at some point and you can prevent your business from a potential future lawsuit and beyond that it is the right thing to do so that you maximize your opportunity for excellent employees and staff.
- Large Glass Viewing Area At Front Office - We promote a 180 degree view for the main operator so that he can view multiple areas to make sure that operations are running at full speed. This glass area will allow the operator to maintain a maximum steady flow of clients into the tunnel.
- Bookkeeping Office Area - This is a separate office area where unauthorized staff or clients are not able to enter bringing peace of mind to such situations as when currency is handled.
