Temple Bar Townhouse Hotel: A Case Study in Fast, Stylish, and Durable Bathroom Renovations

The Temple Bar Townhouse, a centrally located Dublin hotel, needed to upgrade its bathrooms to meet modern guest expectations. The Ardán Collective’s brief was clear:

The hotel needed more than just aesthetic upgrades. Key requirements included:

• Materials that complemented existing interiors

• Minimal disruption to daily hotel operations

• Easy cleaning and low upkeep for the housekeeping team

• Durability against moisture and heavy use

Downtime wasn’t an option, so the project needed fast lead times and seamless installation.

Celuplast was recommended by the hotel’s trusted builder, thanks to its track record of high-quality products and reliable service. The Ardán Collective visited the Celuplast showroom to explore a wide range of finishes and selected a complete system:

• Wall Panels: A grout-free, waterproof alternative to tiles that resists mould and reduces cleaning time

• Ceiling Panels: Low-maintenance, wipeable surfaces that stay bright and fresh

• SPC Waterproof Flooring: Designed for high-traffic areas with excellent slip resistance and durability

Thanks to excellent communication between Celuplast, the builder, and the Ardán Collective, all materials were sourced within hours of selection. This allowed the project to stay on schedule without compromising on quality.

Celuplast’s interlocking systems made installation straightforward, resulting in a streamlined process from planning to handover.

The transformation has been a resounding success:

• Guests enjoy brighter, cleaner, and more modern bathrooms

• Housekeeping staff spend less time cleaning, with no mould or residue build-up

• Moisture damage concerns are eliminated, extending the lifespan of the bathrooms

The new design complements the hotel’s décor and provides a high-end experience without high maintenance.

Following this success, the Ardán Collective plans to use Celuplast for future projects. This case study proves that with the right supplier, fast, high-impact hospitality upgrades are possible even in high-traffic environments.

“We would absolutely recommend Celuplast to anyone in hospitality or construction. The team were amazing from start to finish. It’s a great product, it’s easy to maintain, and we’re already planning to use it again in our next project.”
