Traditional styled bathroom radiators can add that little bit extra to the look of your room but there is a lot more to it than just looks. When the Victorians first experimented with central heating and using radiators in hospitals and schools the design of radiator that they came up with was what is popularly referred to as a hospital style. What they achieved was having a radiator which had a massive surface area from a compact sized unit.

An example is the Aestus Partito 4 column radiator which measures only 600mm high by 396mm wide but gives out a generous 1421 Btu’s. These floor mounted radiators manufactured from high quality mild steel tube and are available in a white powder coated finish. A classically elegant design, combined with contemporary aesthetics to provide a sleek and stylish feel, perfect for injecting a traditional feel into any room in the home.

The cloakroom is the place for rebelling against the rest of the house, if this is a home that is dominated by women in the shape of your partner and daughters, it can be a thoroughly masculine chamber of wood and sombre colours, a serious change from in a household dominated by women and pastels.  However, in a male dominated home strewn with footballs, toy guns and dirty socks, you need a thoroughly girlie cloakroom coated in silver leaf with mini-chandelier and how about a Seventies disco ball plus mirrored make-up box and a shelf of perfumes.

You might just have a cloakroom the size of a cupboard under the stairs in a terrace house, but your cloakroom will say a lot about you. So choose the right cloakroom suite, maybe a vanity unit to create an impression of spaciousness and install polished nickel taps, which look very smart.

A sink with very contemporary looks and shape but not overpowering is the Imperial Bathrooms Catalano Zero Plus range of Basins with simple elliptical shapes. This shape and styling combined with unsurpassable craftsmanship puts the Zero Plus at the top of the Zero Programme from this company. The sink can be can be wall hung or pedestal mounted when supplied as the Zero 120, the Zero 70 is specifically a wall hung basin and the Catalano Zero Plus 60/2 and 80 models have the option of being wall hung, sit on or pedestal mounted.

The first thing to remember is that a shower enclosure will be a part of your bathroom for years to come and buying one will be an investment into your house. Therefore, before buying a shower enclosure it is important to take into consideration a number of factors to ensure that it lasts the test of time. Get the right size and shape and think about the positioning, do not make you bathroom feel cramped.

If your new shower enclosure can be installed where your old shower used to be then this will save a lot of preparatory work, hassle and money as the hot, cold and the waste water pipes will already be in the correct place making them easy to attach to your new shower cubicle. It may be preferential to choose a shower enclosure that comes with a tray. Due to the fact that the tray has been designed specifically for the given shower enclosure it will fit properly and will have less chance of water leakage. If the walls need to be tiled plan ahead to what tiles you want and then tile the area before installing the shower cubicle.
