BMA Promotes ‘Industry Excellence’ Initiative
 
The BMA has published a series of BMA Fact Sheets to help consumers understand, in simple terms, exactly what their requirements are and what options they may wish to consider, when buying a new bathroom.

The BMA Fact Sheets are‘step-by-step’ guides that cover every aspect and product category within the bathroom. As an example checklists help clarify the benefits of fixed or flexible showerhead systems and how to judge whether there is sufficient hot water stored in the home’s plumbing system to satisfy the showering requirements of a typical family.

Other areas covered include bathroom furniture and the added benefits of storage and styling that such products offer, along with subjects such as safety in the bathroom, choosing the bathroom suite, shower enclosures and brassware.
A FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet covers legislation or relevant standards, plus ‘green’ issues such as water conservation. Other publications will cover the various aspects of designing for the elderly, an important sector that is often overlooked today.

Bathroom accessories, ventilation and heating options along with useful directories of manufacturers and other third parties complete the first series of BMA Fact sheets.

In addition it is intended that this information will be made available to bathroom retailers, installers and plumbing colleges. The ultimate aim is to enlighten the consumer and help them understand that the difference between ‘that’s nice’ and ‘wow!’ is simply in the planning.

'The consumer has as much right to knowledge as anyone else', says Martyn Denny, Vice President BMA, 'we plan to give them the knowledge that will make it much easier for them to buy a new bathroom, with confidence.'
