A Walk-In Shower Is Easier To Clean and Maintain

The walk-in shower is increasingly popular! Instead of dealing with a traditional shower enclosure, walk-in showers make it easier than ever before to keep your bathroom looking sparkly and clean. Not only are these walk-in showers modern and stylish. They also have specially formulated surfaces that prevent mold and mildew growth as well as soap scum build-up.

A More Accessible Choice

When it comes to designing an accessible and luxurious bathroom, walk-in showers are a great solution. Unlike the traditional bath/shower combination popular in homes, walk-in showers offer greater shower mobility that can be especially helpful for elderly or disabled individuals.

You can easily add extra safety features, such as heavy-duty grab bars. Walk-in showers also let you customize your bathroom style to your heart’s content while still retaining the accessibility you need.

Ideal For Making The Most Of Small Bathrooms

If a small bathroom is what you’re dealing with, walk-in showers are the ideal way to get your much-needed luxury bathroom fix.  Walk-in showers provide a more open and airy feel as opposed to shower cubicles. They also give a sense of space within the confines of a smaller bathroom.

Since walk-in showers are constructed from materials such as glass enclosures and walls finished with waterproof shower panels or tiles, it is possible to transform any small bathroom into one that looks and feels bigger than its true dimensions.

Increase The Value Of Your Home

Homeowners will find a walk-in shower increases the space and comfort of their bathroom.  It’s also an easy way to create a luxury home aesthetic that potential buyers are more likely to appreciate.

Unlike a small bathtub or shower, walk-in showers are spacious without taking over the entire room. This gives you ample room to relax, as well as the ability to add features like body jets and rainfall shower heads that can make your walk-in shower feel like your own private oasis. Furthermore, with so many types of walk-in showers available today, you’re sure to find one that matches both your personal sense of style and budget. Taking all this into consideration and if you’re planning a move in the future, it’s worth considering how much value a walk-in shower will add.

Wonders of Water with hansgrohe Vivenis

Discover the Wonders of Water with the hansgrohe Vivenis Range

hansgrohe are the leading bathroom brand for taps and showers. Founded in 1901 by Hans Grohe the brands passion for water has continue to grow. hansgrohe designs stand the test of time, each drop of water is considered – how it flows and how and when it hits a surface. The ingenuity and innovation in each and every product sets them apart from other manufacturers.

It is this innovation that led to the creation of Vivenis, a bathroom tap that will wow you with a totally new sensation. Think natural waterfall – clear water flowing from a mountain spring. With its slender, curved spout the hansgrohe Vivenis tap emulates a gentle waterfall. The wide spray pattern from the tap will make even washing your hands feel like a moment of indulgence.

Moments of wellbeing at the washbasin

We all live hectic lives and there is little chance to take that relaxing shower or long soak in the bath. Even though it is rituals like these that help us to feel fresh and relaxed and ready to tackle each day. So why shouldn’t washing our hands be a moment for indulgence? Vivenis and its wonderful waterfall spray will give you that feel-good experience – a quick ‘time-out’ moment.

A timeless and elegant style

Vivenis is tasteful in design, the combination of the delicate handle with the wide, flat spout emphasises the natural simplicity of the tap. It uses AirPower technology from hansgrohe. AirPower enriches the water with air, which means the water spray feels luxurious and extraordinarily gentle. The waterfall stream creates gentle and full-bodied water droplets.

Vivenis is available for wash basins, bath tubs and showers. In three finishes: chrome, matt black and matt white.

Crosswater Crossbox Push MPRO Shower Valve

Crosswater Crossbox Push MPRO Shower Valve

Turning on the shower has been revolutionised with Crosswater’s innovative .

While certain pieces of brassware in the bathroom are ever evolving, others have remained fundamentally unchanged over the decades. While brassware as a whole has taken on the different colour finishes in vogue at various times – from gleaming gold brass to the matt black and white finishes trending today – some bathroom brassware seems to get more aesthetic attention than others. Notably, taps have undergone the most dramatic of developments, with handle shapes and spouts in a constant state of flux both design-wise – varying considerably from pieces based on historic precedent to those more akin to modern sculpture – to their positioning by the basin or bath, from classic mixer taps to wall mounted or freestanding.

Crosswater Crossbox Push MPRO Shower Valve in Brushed Brass

Within the shower, shower heads have undergone bold changes over recent years, with forward thinking designs not only looking the part, offer different styles of water flow, or being integrated with lighting or elements of technology. More practical shower controls have been largely overlooked aesthetically, water and temperature typically regulated with the twisting of a valve and left at that. Until now. Enter the Crossbox Push by Crosswater, a module which radically modernises the design of shower controls and adds

Streamlined functionality

Crosswater Crossbox Push MPRO Shower Valve in Matt White

The push button operation of Crossbox Push brings a fresh perspective to shower control design. Why twist and adjust when you can simply press? Rotary heat control means that the desired temperature can be pre-set and conjured in a tap of the Neoperl ABS push button. Water can be summoned from up to three different water outlets – be it a rainfall, wall mounted or hand-held shower head – in one easy touch.

 

Looking good

Crosswater Crossbox Push MPRO Shower Valve in Matt Black

The two key elements of the Crossbox Push are the bold circular button, which is also integrated with a textured dial to alter water flow, and the smaller temperature control knob. Combined, the pair make a modern design statement, boldly protruding from the all metal backplate in a minimal, clean style, while the lines splitting the button into two or three add easy usability with low visual impact.

The finishing touch

Available in an array of on-trend and timeless finishes, the Crossbox Push can be specified to suit any colour scheme, style or existing brassware – all bases are covered with the Crosswater MPRO palette. Got a Scandi-style pale space? Blend in with Matt White, or contrast with Matt Black. Feeling glamourous? Brushed Brass is your friend. Need some texture? Try the Brushed Stainless Steel Effect. Something classic? Chrome is here for you.

Style and substance in the touch of a button, the Crossbox Push is ushering in a new era to water control, and a total refresh of design within the shower space.

Warm, reflective and glowing… VitrA’s stunning Copper Brassware & Bathroom Accessories

Copper is a traditional material that has stormed its way back into fashion.  Warm, reflective and glowing it is certainly making all of us here at ukbathrooms.com keen to update our own bathrooms!

         

We love this stunning range from VitrA, encompassing brassware and accessories all in a choice of finishes including Copper. Pair this metal with natural materials such as wood and marble for an elegant, contemporary look.  The copper trend is showing no sign of slowing down, and current demand is high on our site.  The polished finish from VitrA has a more golden look as opposed to a natural deep orange tone.

Over the past few years metallics have become really popular with the warm copper and brass shades being easy to incorporate in our homes.  In your bathroom, opt for copper taps, shower, waste, exposed bottle trap and matching accessories, use the Copper as a standout feature so it really makes your room pop.

      

Opulent shades such as Kingfisher blue and teal are a perfect partner to this metal, decadent in tone they are an ideal combination. Equally, a bathroom that uses marble and copper brassware has an appeal that is timeless. Charcoal, smoky greys, blush pink and neutrals also work with this warm finish and can be visually stunning.

Tip – use copper sparingly for more impact – either limit to a gorgeous copper bath or brassware and accessories – less is often more!
