Period style baths and bathrooms are extremely popular and except for a short period have never gone out of fashion. Bathroom designers will confirm that this is due to the classic lines of period or Victorian style baths, which in common with period architecture is timeless.

No bathroom designer or architect would consider suggesting that you use a real period bath when you can have a perfect replica but made with 21st century materials and technology. Burlington is one such manufacturer and a classic example from the range of period bathrooms and accessories is the Burlington Brindley Double Ended Soaking Tub. Using the most up to date manufacturing processes, Burlington achieves a high level of quality and authenticity with this product, which has excellent shoulder room and superb depth for a really comfortable soak.

Glass shower doors come in a range of styles and finishes, including etched, coloured and moulded glass.  If you’re planning on revamping your bathroom, then installing a stylish frameless shower door can have a big impact on the look and feel of your whole room.

Frameless shower doors are made with tempered glass giving a modern look which gives an illusion of space. Clear glass in particular is great for opening up a small bathroom and letting light shine through, as well as allowing any the bathroom tiles to be displayed. Hinges and handles are usually fixed directly onto the glass panel, giving a clean look to the shower enclosure. For example the Showerlux 2 panel hinged enclosure allows you to create your own design with a minimum width of 800 mm and a maximum of 1600 mm. So whether you are looking for a cool, contemporary, or traditional, Designa enclosures are sure to fit the bill.

One of the most important parts of a shower enclosure has to be the glass which should be manufactured from tempered safety glass of 5-6mm for your shower enclosure: the thicker the better. Ideally the edges should be protected usually with an aluminium profiling. Make sure that your shower enclosure meets British safety standard.

Ensure that if your shower enclosure has aluminium profiling it really is aluminium and not coated plastic, which is commonly used by some companies to keep cost low. Some makers use aluminium profiling which is only 0.5mm thick, much less that the quality shower enclosures sold at UK Bathrooms. At the premier bathrooms suppliers site you will find only the very best shower enclosures form Europe and the UK. One example is the Showerlux Urban 1400 Walk-in Shower, which feature the best in quality plus some extras to make your daily shower the best.

Tiles in a bathroom or shower area do not a lifetime, they soon become jaded and the grouting can become contaminated by mould growth, raking out and re-grouting is really only a fix for a short time.

Prestige maker Imperial has an eye catching range of tiles which are guaranteed to give any bathroom a new look. Available in three colours - chalk, sand and charcoal, these tiles are resistant to abrasion and corrosion, these through body coloured tiles require no sealing and are virtually non-porous.

The winters in the UK are not just cold but dark as well with the hours of daylight during the very late and early part of the year depressingly short. In Northern regions this daylight time can be as little as 7 hours meaning of course that it is dark for 17 hours! This in itself is not such a big problem, it is the darkness in the morning when we visit the bathroom to shave or put on makeup, with daylight not arriving much before 8.15 to 8.30.

Fitting an illuminated bathroom mirror answers most of the problems connected with shaving and attention to the makeup, in addition it can add subtle lighting to a bathroom, shower room or en-suite area. With so many illuminated mirrors to choose from at the online bathroom web pages, choice can be difficult. However we would suggest that you have a look at the Roper Rhodes Clarity Equator backlit mirror, which is complete with heated de-mister pads, making steamy mirrors a thing of the past. If you hurry you can get an extra 5% discount too!

It happens every year and it seems we are never expecting it, deep snow hard frost and the winter is with us. It is when this happens that we always wish that we had fitted that extra radiator or we had replaced that tiny one in the bathroom that seemed to do nothing. No one is saying that the best time to fit new radiators is in the middle of a cold snap, spring is clearly better when we can turn off the heating, have the boiler serviced, and drain and flush out the system.

However now is a good time to look at the great new contemporary radiators that are now available online and plan that renovation when the weather is warmer. One worth a good look at for your bathroom or en-suite, anywhere in fact, is the Aestus Aztec Horizontal Radiator, which is supplied in a brushed finish in eight different length and heat outputs.
