Tim Clark — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:47:55 +0000

Just a little tip to keeping you warm in your bathroom when thinking of which Heated towel rail to choose think taller, when there is little space to fit your bathroom heating in then choose the tallest towel rail as you can easily compromise on the height but not the width of area, buy selecting a tall rail you are much more likely to get the correct heating output to satisfy the bathroom or shower room with the desired temperature you require.

This Towel rail from Tapstore.com measures only 300mm wide but stands up 1800mm leaving more space for the towels and allows the heat to radiate at the same time.

Cutting VAT - On Buying Bathroom Goods

Tim Clark — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:51:30 +0000

Well what do we make of the Cutting VAT from 17.5% to 15%. well for all of you looking to save money on buying bathroom goods its not really going to make any kind of difference as in the last few weeks we have had most of the bathroom manufactures raising their prices why?

Most of the bathroom suppliers in this country are not really manufacturers they are importers and they are effected greatly by the value of the pound, when they by goods they either pay in Euros or Dollars and with the state of the pound at present prices are only going one way UP……

Shower Caddy - Corner Baskets

Tim Clark — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 23:57:18 +0000

I have a pet hate for leaving shower gel’s, soap, flannels and shampoo lying around the bath tub or showering area, so why not use one of these shower caddies ? The first one on the left is a chrome double corner deep basket it is a fantastic option for storing your soap or bathroom essentials whilst keeping them close to hand and neatly stored.

There is plenty of room to leave shampoo bottles standing upright in the bottom basket. a real family solution.

If you wanted to create a neat solution without using a double then why not pick and mix by using two or even three separate corner baskets to create a shower caddy and fix them to the bathroom wall at the heights you prefer.

As an example I have chosen the Dakota corner and selected the deep basket as they come from the same range, you could also use two the same size which would work just as well.

Double Corner Deep Corner Basket £30.34
Dakota Shower Caddy Corner Basket £29.36
Shower Caddy Deep Corner Basket £16.64

Bathroom Waste Bins - The Oval Pedal

Tim Clark — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 22:29:23 +0000

Bathroom pedal waste bins are not the first item when considering designing a layout but if they are not considered from the start they can sit in an uncomfortable position in the room.

I like the Oval bathroom bin from Tapstore.com as it has a 5 liter family capacity made from durable and hygienically safe stainless steel finish.

It will sit in the corner of a room with out taking up the space due to its small projection compared with a round pedal bin.

RRP £52.01 Tapstore.com £46.00.
