New Gelson Professional Shower Products Widen Choice for Hotel Bathrooms

Gelson Professional has introduced a wider choice of shower curtains and shower rods into its collection, to meet the changing needs of the professional developer and hotel market.

Hotels planning to refurbish their bathrooms can now choose between the elegant white-on-white Regency Stripe and Gelson's original Classic White textile curtain to suit their individual decorative schemes. Both curtains are expertly manufactured from soft woven polyester fibres treated with Proseal to ensure maximum water repellence, a fully weighted hem prevents the curtain clinging to the user while showering, and a reinforced top hem gives added strength. Available for immediate delivery, both models are supplied bagged and ready to hang with 12 eyelets.

Gelson's new Premier Shower Curtain Rod makes a suitable partner for these high quality curtains. A rust-proof tubular rod in highly polished bright anodised aluminium, with concealed fittings and chrome plated solid brass covers on the steel wall brackets, this competitively priced rod is equally suitable for hotels and domestic bathrooms. Supplied in 2m length, it can be cut to size on site.

Gelson Professional also offers the Profile 400 and 800 collections of rust-proof flat aluminium rails in white or silver with internal glider and hook system, as well as the popular aluminium Bendy Rail, which makes short work of awkwardly shaped installations.

Established in the 1970s and available exclusively through merchants and distributors, Gelson Professional is the contract brand from Croydex - UK specialist in shower curtains and a supplier of bathroom accessories and fittings.

Handles With a Twist from PWS

With rustic styling ranking among the popular looks in kitchen design, PWS has introduced six new pewter options to its line-up of classic handles.

Pewter is proving to be a runaway success for PWS in terms of handle finish, it is a material that has character and charm. Two of the new handles have a truly country feel to them, as the bar is twisted and the finish hammered, which plays tricks with the light and is a further development of the traditional theme. A hammered pewter knob is also available to complement the twisted bar handles.

The new pewter handle collection offers immense scope for accessorising many of the doors in PWS’ Second Nature collection - the finishing touch for any rustic kitchen scheme.

In addition to the six new pewter ranges, PWS offer a handle collection which extends to more than 600 options. Spanning the design spectrum from traditional through to ultra modern are available in an extensive range of finishes including chrome, stainless steel, porcelain, aluminium and timber.

The handle collection can be viewed at http://www.pws.co.uk with a link to order on PWS’ e-commerce solution Tradezone’, or alternatively telephone PWS Customer Services on 01325 505555.

PWS Extends Chunky Boss Bar Handle Range

PWS’ Boss bar handle collection has been extended with a range of new sizes. The chunky 22mm option has fast become a firm design winner in PWS’ handle portfolio and is now available in 13 size options.

Proving that when it comes to accesorising size can really matter, new introductions include 920mm and 1185mm lengths. This is in response to tall doors increasingly being designed into modern kitchen schemes which has revealed an unprecedented demand for larger bar handles. Although longer handles were available in the 14mm diameter Boss handle, feedback indicated that a more substantial handle was required.

The 22mm Boss handle range is offered in stainless steel or tactile aluminium effect and is an important part of PWS’ 100 strong bar handle portfolio.

In addition to the bar handle collection, PWS offers a raft of handles encompassing more than 600 options. Covering traditional, modern and hi-tech styles, the portfolio is offered in a wide range of finishes including pewter, stainless steel, chrome, timber and aluminium.

The handle collection can be viewed at http://www.pws.co.uk with a link to order on PWS’ e-commerce solution Tradezone’, or alternatively telephone PWS Customer Services on 01325 505555.

Delamain Crystal Knobs Sure to Turn Heads

The new Delamain Coloured Crystal range is unique in that no two knobs are actually the same. Available in blue, pink, green, amber, blue & pink, green & yellow, and an extra special bubble effect, the colours will bring any room to life.

As with all Delamain products, the Coloured Crystal range is carefully hand finished to achieve the best quality while still retaining the authenticity that sets Delamain apart.

Because Carlisle Brass own the copyright to all of the company’s designs, buyers can be sure that they will be buying something exceptional.

Delamain says that it has already earned a reputation as a market leader for crystal door furniture, with its cut, clear and frosted ranges proving popular with designers.

The company’s crystal knobs also feature in Dalton House: a Grade II listed Georgian Mansion that has been converted into a prestigious lifestyle store.

As a brand within the Carlisle Brass group, Delamain benefits from twenty years of experience and the backing of a group with an annual turnover of £30 million.

The head of Carlisle Brass, Robin Graham, said:

‘The Coloured Crystal range is truly magnificent. I’m sure our customers will agree that Delamain have produced something special here.’

Glazed doors have long been a feature in many kitchen designs, but PWS has gone one step further and introduced Aluglide, a new sliding glass door collection.

The beauty of the sliding system is that the doors are almost effortless to open and unlike many other glazed doors offer easy access due to the vast amount of storage behind the doors.

The practical sliding system will create a focal point in modern kitchen schemes and complement many of the contemporary kitchen furniture collections from PWS’ Second Nature collection.

Punctuating solid doors with light and airy glazed Aluglide brings a real sense of space to the interior.

Aluglide is available to suit both 360mm and 720mm heights in 1500mm, 2000mm and 2500mm widths.

The milky glass has a continental look, which is enhanced by the 50mm aluminium frame and the range options are also well suited to be introduced in open plan kitchens and will link the working and living areas together.

All products can be viewed at http://www.pws.co.uk with a link to order on PWS’ e-commerce solution Tradezone’, or alternatively telephone PWS Customer Services on 01325 505555.

Cooking or Relaxing in Style with Häfele

Old-style portable radios used to be the most common sound source in kitchens and bedrooms - or their mains powered equivalent that always took up too much space by the power points and got in the way on space restricted surfaces. Often they were ugly to look at and neither ever came up to today’s expectations in terms of sound quality.

Now Häfele has launched a built-in CD player and clock radio combined that is equally at home in the kitchen or the bedroom and delivers magnificent sound quality, looks chic and elegant and can be discretely positioned for optimum accessibility. The clock timer function is perfect for sensitive cooking projects - and it’s also ideal in the bedroom as a wake-up call.

The silver housing measures 350mm wide x 220mm in height and looks hi-tech but is in fact easy-to-clean plastic and needs an installation depth of only 200mm.

The mechanics look simple and easy to use, which they are, but deliver exquisite sound quality across the AM / FM radio signals range.

The CD player front panel hinges forward to allow easy access for CDs and reproductive quality from the player meets even the fine detail demands of the Vienna Philharmonic. And an optional auto-switch-off function operates within a
maximum 120 minute range.

An easy to read 24 hour clock on the LCD display of the unit is digital and a buzzer alarm is also easy to set within either the radio or CD operating environment. No burnt cakes ... and no more missed appointments!
