Laufen Form 300 Bathroom Suite

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.

Wetroom Glass Panel

In a true wetroom the space is completely open plan, with the water draining away through the floor, to allow for this you firstly need to check if this will be possible in your bathroom as the floor will need to be raised up and sloping in the direction of the drain. Creating and installing a wetroom can be complicated as the entire room needs to be made completely water-tight, so it is probably best that you get a professional fitter to carry out the installation work for your wetroom and to ensure that you get many years of trouble free use.
