Mixing hot and cold water to exactly the right temperature for washing dishes is best achieved through the modern kitchen mixer tap. With the modern kitchen mixer the arm will swivel making it ideal where a double kitchen sink is installed found in most modern homes today. It also has the advantage of being safely away from that delicate piece of china or glassware that you are carefully washing and lifting from the sink!

There are many classic and modern styles from which you can choose, all designed to fit into your decor. One example of a modern design is the Axor Starck Classic Single Lever Kitchen Mixer. This product from Hansgrohe features a 360 degree swivel outlet, easy control joystick cartridge; Hansgrohe ComfortZone provides large operating area within which to select your perfect temperature and the QuickClean system for easy removal of lime scale. This mixer will be a perfect addition to your kitchen.

At one time having an inside toilet was probably top of a lot of peoples wish list, but over the years bathrooms have changed beyond all recognition and the new ‘must have’ and latest trend in bathroom design is the wet room; many experts expect wet rooms to outsell shower enclosures in years to come. Wet rooms look super stylish and streamlined, and can add real value to your home. They are architectural, conceptual, integrated and give the illusion of space and open plan living.

You do not have to have a huge area or a mansion to add a wetroom they can be in both large and small spaces windowless box rooms, downstairs cloakrooms or part of a large bedroom, all you need is an open plan room with a shower, basin and WC and you can really add the wow factor to your home. At UK Bathrooms we feature possibly the largest collection of wetroom packages online and there will be one to suit your home. For example the Manhattan 1000mm Corner Wetroom Package includes glass panel and flow water delivery system and is available in seven options. These can be fitted to a floor or tray and covered by a 10 year product guarantee.
