Traditional Bathroom Suite

When planning and designing a traditional bathroom the first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful roll top freestanding bath. A roll top freestanding bath will become the main focal point in your traditional bathroom and provides a very luxurious feel. Roll top freestanding baths feature a single or a double ended design and are available in two lengths including 1700mm and 1500mm, which is great for the smaller bathroom. A freestanding slipper bath is also perfect for a traditional bathroom and creates a feeling of old-fashioned glamour. If your bathroom has enough space why not install the freestanding bath in the middle of the room to create a stunning feature?

High Level Toilet

When choosing a toilet and basin for your traditional bathroom, make sure you opt for a classical design such as the Milano Winchester or Milano Canterbury collections. Think about the small details too including a ceramic lever flush handle and decorative elements on the pottery. For the perfect authentic traditional look why not choose a high level toilet? A high level toilet features a cistern which is fixed high up on the wall and is connected to the pan by a long, chrome flush pipe. The cistern is operated with a long pull chain, which adds the perfect traditional touch.

Brassware is an important element of your traditional bathroom too and helps to enhance the overall look and feel. Taps such as the Hudson Reed Topaz collection features a crosshead design and are a great choice for a traditional bathroom.

The main difference in price between expensive and cheaper bathroom products is usually down to the quality of the materials that are used. High-end bathroom manufacturers use high quailty ceramics, which are sometimes treated with special coatings that make them easier to clean or repel germs and bacteria. If you want a very hard-wearing bath then consider a steel or cast iron bath, but acrylic is usually the most affordable option. When it comes to bathroom furniture, top-end unit doors often make use of wood veneers or even solid wood, which provides a feeling of high quality and solidity, whilst those at the lower end are made from painted MDF or foil-covered chipboard.

When choosing taps and showers always buy the best that you can afford and choose a brand with a good reputation. Taps are used several times a day so they need to stand up to wear and tear, so it is always worth spending more. When choosing taps make sure you check the guarantee period.

The installation of your new bathroom is also important too, and it is always worth hiring a good professional fitter to ensure your bathroom looks in top condition and even products that are less expensive will look great. There is nothing worse then untidy tiling and pipework and plumbing needs to be trouble-free so unless you know exactly what you are doing, hire a professional plumber and tiler.
