We design and build heat and cold rooms across Egypt — a cabin on a New Cairo roof terrace, a bathhouse in a villa basement, a full thermal suite for a Red Sea resort. Everything is specified for forty-degree summers, khamsin dust and salt that is more aggressive here than anywhere on the Mediterranean.
A chiller fights the gap between target and ambient. In a Cairo July that gap is over thirty degrees, so an uninsulated basin in the sun cannot be won with a bigger compressor. Insulation, a lid and shade come first; the machine comes second.
The Red Sea runs around 40 parts per thousand, above the Mediterranean and well above the world ocean average. Equipment that lasts in Alexandria corrodes in Hurghada. A4 stainless, sealed plant enclosures and a corrosion inspection at every service are the difference.
Roughly 235,000 hotel rooms with a record 46,000 in the pipeline, national occupancy above 80 per cent and Red Sea occupancy above 90 in summer (Travel And Tour World). That means duplicated plant, isolation on each room and documentation somebody signs.

Read more →Panels, benches, doors and sub-frame steel are made in our workshop outside Cairo and delivered as sections. You can come and see a cabin in build and a heater running before you choose anything.
We change the specification by location rather than selling one product everywhere. A cabin for Alexandria and a cabin for Hurghada are not the same cabin, and the quote says exactly where the difference is.
Every quote separates access, services and finishes. If it is the lift, the cable run or the stone that makes your project expensive, you will see which.

Read more →Yes — El Gouna, Hurghada, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Sharm and Ain Sokhna. Coastal visits are scheduled in blocks so several properties share the travel in the same week.
With a cold plunge beside it and the session in the evening, yes. Without cold water it is a hard sell from June to September, and we would rather say so than sell you a room you will not use.
Dust and salt. A condenser on the desert edge blankets in weeks, and Red Sea salt attacks fixings continuously. Six-monthly service is a European interval and it does not survive here.
Scales it solid, usually within two years on untreated mains. We specify a softener or a documented descaling regime as part of the room and put the interval in the handover notes.
Yes — phased by room, screened behind dust barriers, noisy work in agreed windows. There is no closed season on the Red Sea to wait for.
Yes, if parts are obtainable. Most of our service calls are for somebody else's installation.
Only after the slab has been checked. A 900-litre tub is nearly a tonne on a small footprint and we will not put one on an unknown structure.
40% to start the drawing and order materials, 40% when panels leave the workshop, 20% on commissioning.
