Luxury Shower #1 Must Have

October 17th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

To celebrate the 200th issue of Homebuilding and Renovating magazine, the editing team has compiled a list of 101 must haves that all home owners must consider when renovating or redecorating the home. The editing team at HB&R has first hand experience in over 50 self-build and renovating projects between them, so if anybody knows what they’re talking about it’s these guys.

The list consists of classic ideas revived combined with new and wacky features that may not suit everyone’s tastes. A few ideas that made the list include invisible speakers, vegetable patches, shutters and hardwood floors. Nevertheless, it seems that having a Luxury Shower in the home is the #1 must have for all to consider. Of all the hundreds of homes the team have visited, it seems that a luxurious showering experience consistently tops the polls as the number one feature that provides the icing on the cake when considering a new individual home.

“No more poking around in a tiny, flimsy cubicle; no mouldy shower screens and slipping in and out of the bath. Luxury showering means space, solitude and, above all, a really good flow of water” - Homebuilding & Renovating Self-build Must Haves.

I have to say, the HB&R team have knocked it on the head!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall!

October 9th, 2008 Posted in products | No Comments »

Creating a perfect bathroom retreat requires careful consideration and planning. Mirrors are an essential element in bathroom design as they can add dramatic effect along with a sense of space. Furthermore, a bathroom mirror will reflect any light coming into the room creating a brighter and more comfortable atmosphere.

But with so many different tastes amongst us, it’s difficult to decide on a mirror that suits your unique style and look. LuxuryBathroomMirrors.com gives us the option of creating a bespoke mirror with many different styles to choose from (for a very reasonable price at that!). Create a straight edged design combined with LED’s to achieve that modern contemporary look - http://www.luxurybathroommirrors.co.uk/ is definitely worth a visit.

Free delivery with all orders placed in the UK - Always a bonus!

The New Pesaro.

September 28th, 2008 Posted in products | No Comments »

Di Vapor is constantly looking to expand its whirlpool bath range, and the Pesaro is an example of them doing just that. The Pesaro offers customers a chance to enjoy the  advantages of hydrotherapy with both water jets and air jets lining the bottom of the bath. The bath itself comes without a skirting so the bath can be matched to any bathroom using tiling of your choice.

The bath stands at 1900mm × 980mm × 650mm making it a workable size in any environment. In addition to this, the Pesaro comes complete with its own cleaning system, keeping the internal workings in the best possible condition for many years to come. Less cleaning for us is always a bonus!

Some may say that the shower has overtaken the bathtub in the world of bathing, but I think you’ll agree that the Pesaro is evidence that the bath is most definitely not dead.

A very reasonable price too, £1323 includes your VAT and delivery to any UK address.

Require a 3 minute dryer?

July 9th, 2008 Posted in Press & Media | No Comments »

The new innovative Triton body dryer is set to join the growing range of luxury bathroom products.

Yes, damp towels in your bathroom may be things of the past. Now we can be dried on those drowsy winter Monday mornings by simply staying completely stationary as the Triton body dryer does the work for us. We have all had the pleasure of drying ourselves with an orthodox hairdryer, but now we can have this delectable feeling as soon as we step out of the shower.

Costing just 1p per minute to run (with a usual dry taking just 3 minutes) you can certainly see why the Triton body dryer has such a heavy price tag of £230. Expect to save money from not washing as many towels.

Not only does this simple yet ingenious invention reduce your carbon footprint, its better for you health wise as it helps reduce moisture in the air which will prevent the growth of bacteria in your bathroom.

The gadget comes with a wireless remote to help you choose an ideal setting, and the dryer may be doubled up as a room heater. Also, it may prove to be very useful for drying kids quickly or even pets.

This device is the height of lavish idleness and upon its release it has been labelled a glorified hair dryer. We’ll let you decide.

Are you talkin’ to me?

Whether you want to know your weight or just can’t face it in the morning, there is no escape with the Superior Talking Scale.

When you step onto the scale the euphoric voice tells you your weight and even if its not what you expect you wont care, as the female voice lulls you in an understanding manner. But if your spouse is in the next room the voice can be turned off with a conveniently placed switch underneath the contraption. The much larger than average scale screen makes it easier to read your weight if the voice starts to irritate.

But is the scale truly superior? You may ask. And the answer is a definite yes! It is accurate to within 1% of actual weight, and weighs up to 400 lbs (or 200 kg) in 0.2 lb increments. Its platform measures 14.5 x 11 inches and has ridged squares to stop you slipping.

Now, not only is this made for you lazy few but it will make it easier for the visually impaired or even the blind. It’s a product which should have been made long ago, but if you’re up for a bit of novelty fun this product is certainly for you.

The Finnish Secret!

June 11th, 2008 Posted in Press & Media | No Comments »

Saunas have long been used in Scandinavia and are still considered a staple in everyday life. It is estimated that there are more saunas in Finland than there are television sets. The population of Finland is approximately 5.25 million (2005), therefore there is one sauna for every 2.6 people. When you contemplate this fact, it is quite evident how important saunas are in the Finnish culture. Why is it then, that these wooden houses are so popular, and why do the Finns hold them in such high esteem?

Saunas trigger the body to heat up, and sweat. This has two main benefits. Firstly, this heat causes the body to excrete toxins which build up in the body. Secondly, the high heat, which ranges from 80°C to 100°C, artificially triggers the body’s immune system into thinking a foreign virus has taken a hold of it. The body then releases antibodies and white blood cells to combat this virus. As a result the body’s immune system is strengthened, helping to ward off any future viral attack.

Without going into a full article on this, I challenge you to try a sauna (after given the all clear from your medical doctor of course), and see if you don’t feel like a million pounds afterwards.

Recycling water can save you money!

May 20th, 2008 Posted in Press & Media | No Comments »

It’s interesting to think that approximately 30% of the water we use goes down the toilet. Wouldn’t it be great if we could re-use the water from our showers, baths, sinks and cleaning for the flush? Thanks to BRAC Systems a solution is available for all households. Using state of the art technology, specialist filters take used water from your shower, bath, or washing machine and then reuses it in the toilets flushing system.

Foreign particles are filtered from the water making it usable just like normal water, but its designed to be used strictly for your toilet or garden hose! It’s nice to think that you could re-use the same water over and over again without having to pay each time! On top of that, you’ll be helping the environment by using less water in your household!

See how you could save money on your water bill by heading over to BRAC systems today - http://www.bracsystems.com/ - Systems start at just £900!

Clever Camping Contraption!

May 1st, 2008 Posted in Press & Media | No Comments »

Camping is often associated with tents, the great outdoors, and campfires. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea due to the lack of luxury one can expect, but solar power is bringing a whole new scenario to consider. Imagine arriving back to base camp after a long hike around the neighbouring hills to a solar-powered outdoor shower?

Solar-powered Outdoor Shower

Manufacturers claim this clever contraption is capable of heating 5.5 gallons of water to a refreshing 60º celsius, after just 2 hours on a sunny day (leave a few more hours charging time for a cloudy day!).  Better still the solar-powered outdoor shower is fully transportable, so taking it from A to B shouldn’t prove to be too much of a chore. Maybe its time for all of us to reconsider our holiday destinations and keep camping a definite possibility!
