Heated Towel Rails – It’s that time of the year.

The Hove Heated Stainless steel towel rail is another fine example of the Sussex range from JIS, being Stainless steel it will give you at least 25% more heat than the standard chrome towel rail will produce and will not ever rot so you will pay more but the quality shines through with these towel rails.

To complement your new Hove designer radiator and to add that extra finishing touch that brings with it the practicality of somewhere to hang your towels they offer these useful towel hangers which are just as stylish as the rail itself.

Double Ended – Cubix Bath

The Cubix Bath from Claygate Distribution Ltd is a stunning new bath with contemporary looks and eco-friendly credentials to add to their Artisan range of luxury bathroom products. The Baths are manufactured using a technically advanced laminating process called Corincast, which makes a solid, super-strong acrylic product. Extra layers of fiberglass and reinforced polyester resin are added during production, giving the bath superior torsional rigidity. The last layer seals the shell and makes the underside of the bath smoother and easier to handle.

This cutting edge design combined with the newly developed Corincast technology means that the baths use 25% less water than comparable baths while the extra layers of fiberglass gives greater insulation, resulting in the bath water keeping its temperature for longer.

The Cubix bath is available in two styles with a choice of double-ended baths that come in five sizes and single-ended baths that come in three sizes. All baths can be drilled on site to suit your chosen tap configuration.

Bath/Shower Screen – Square Function

I have been having a sneak look into Tapstore’s newest addition to there up and coming expansion of products their Square bath shower screen which will be launched in November they have carefully selected three styles of bath screens the square the square extension which has an extra section to extend the length and a curve the same as the square with a rounded corner.

The experience the Tapstore team have in the bathroom industry always sets themselves apart from other online retailers, they are not just a company of internet tech heads, Paul Smart (development director) has been designing bathrooms for some 25 years now and with the experience of the other senior members of the tapstore board behind him there is a powerful team that always know what products to select.

Although they would not let on how much the RRP will be I have been told sub £200.00 that will be a splash in the face to the competition.

Breaking New Design Boundrys – The Guru Tap

The Guru Tap Designed by young Italian designer Ernesto Messineo who is based in Milan is defiantly individual in design, form and function.

Guru Tap is an eco friendly Basin mixer tap that provides you the opportunity to save water also delivering enough water to use. As you can see in the picture that it directs water flow in an unusual way because water first goes up and then down to a point. The top of the tap is designed from a tinted but transparent material that allows you to see the way water flow through the mixer tap.

I am sure that we will be seeing more from this collection in the UK in the future, I hope to be seeing more of Ernesto Messineo work as well as he is a truly talented designer.
