Most bathrooms contain the usual array of toiletries - soap, shampoo, toothpaste and brushes etc - which can quickly make the way a room look cluttered, especially when you add in all of the other cosmetic and cleaning products. By installing plenty of bathroom furniture the clutter can be stowed away to give your bathroom a more open appearance while remaining practical and functional.

Fitting a Schneider Graceline 3 door mirror cabinet will resolve these issues and give you a pleasant lighting effect as well. The profile is natural anodised aluminium, 3 hinged doors with soft door closure, door dimensions are 50/30/50cm. There are mirrors both inside and outside the cabinet, and it is comprehensively fitted out with intermediate walls, continuously adjustable glass shelves, accessory box and magnifying mirror, dummy plate left and socket right above, double pull switch above centre. Indirect lighting is achieved through fluorescent tubes with electronic ballast.

There are many factors that have to be taken into consideration when deciding on which type of shower to install in your property. The type of shower you end up installing will depend to a great extent on your heating system, regardless of whether it is fitted into a shower cubicle or over a bath. A mixer shower takes cold water and hot water from your heating system and mixes them together to achieve the desired temperature. Most shower mixer valves require the hot and cold water supplies to be of equal pressure. Mixer valves can be divided into two distinct styles, surface mounted and recessed.

A popular thermostatic mixer shower is the Swadling Precis Shower Kit & Extreme Handset. The kit comprises a concealed 3/4″ thermostatic shower valve, 180mm Extreme deluge shower rose with handset and sliding rail kit. At only 1 bar pressure this will give a really satisfying shower at around 25 litres per minute (min 0.5bar). It also features an easy clean shower head, all which is required is; with the shower running simply rub the rubber jets to instantly clear limescale build up. The engineering and performance of the thermostatic technology delivers exactly the required temperature at exactly the right power.

Choosing the right taps for your bathroom can really make a difference to the look of your bathroom but it can get a little confusing as there is such a huge choice of styles, types, finishes, shapes and sizes. Your choice of bathroom taps will depend on many factors including the style or finish of other components in your bathroom. The design of the bath or basin, is it one hole or two and some baths require wall or freestanding taps.

Do you require a bath shower mixer or have you a separate shower to take care of your showering?  The type of heating system that is present in your property can also have an effect on the choices available to you. Many continental bathroom taps are designed to work with high pressure heating systems, but a large proportion of UK heating systems operate using low pressure hot water.

The Axor Starck Two Handled Thermostatic Bath Mixer is an example of a wall mounted mixer tap from top manufacturer Hansgrohe. The Axor Starck owes its modernity to an uncompromising minimalism and the design is thought to be reminiscent of the forking of the river, a truly beautiful product that is extremely efficient as well.
