Extra Sensory Perception from Hudson Reed

Hudson Reed has introduced the Sensor range of bathroom mirrors with motion sensitive LED lighting.

Hudson Reed Sensor mirrors have built in LED lighting shining through the glass, giving clear and glare free lighting for the bathroom. LED lighting is low voltage, so it is safe in wet conditions and very low cost to run. It is cool to the touch and extremely reliable.

With the magic of LED technology, Hudson Reed Sensor mirrors do away with pull cord switches. Simply passing a hand under the sensor point at the bottom of the mirror turns the lighting display on or off.

Hudson Reed Sensor mirrors are 500mm wide by 700mm high and 50mm deep. The Glendale has vertical lighting each side of the mirror and the Newark LED lighting is top and bottom. Both mirrors have a recommended retail price of £293 including vat.

Versatility is the Key with the Centrifugal Fan Series from Manrose

Manrose Multivent (CF234) Centrifugal Fan Series has been designed for use in bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. The versatility of the range is achieved by means of an integral performance selector switch inside the fan, which enables the installer to select the fan speed to suit the room.

There are eight models across the range, from the Standard Fan with remote switching to the PIR activated model with an adjustable timer. All models can be surface or flush mounted and are suitable for wall or ceiling fitting.

Simple to install and quiet in operation, the CF234 Series has a maximum extract rate of 234m3h (65Ips) for kitchens, 162m3h (45lps) for utility rooms and 100m3h (28lps) for bathrooms and toilets.

Fitted with a powerful backward curved centrifugal impeller, the CF234 Series also has a spring operated, non- return flap that is built into the discharge spigot to prevent backdraughts.

The Manrose CF234 Series is designed for a simple two step installation. The building frame can be fitted first (which helps to eliminate site damage and theft) and then the fan housing and motor just snaps in and is protected by a stylish egg crate grille for improved performance.

The units are all manufactured using high impact ABS thermoplastics for strength and durability, aesthetics and easy cleaning.

All Manrose fans carry a 3 year no quibble guarantee, have the benefit of full after sales back-up and fulfil all the requirements to comply with the necessary building regulations and approvals.

No Longer Chained to the Sink...

Franke says that ergonomic solutions of outstanding quality are at the heart of every Franke product range; and that the Franke Lira Basket Strainer Waste is a prime example of innovation.

Available with most Franke sinks with 31/2" wastes, the stainless steel basket strainer waste collects food and debris which may clog and damage pipework, while letting liquids pass through, enabling the consumer to simply empty the plug into the bin.

In addition, the grid of the flange can be rotated when fitted to give smaller slots if required, again preventing debris from passing into the pipework, increasing the function of the unit.

The design of the basket also means that - in the unlikely event of water seeping below the flange - it is still contained within the unit, rather than leaking into the cabinet below.

Manufactured with durability in mind, the Franke Lira Basket Strainer Waste offers quality without compromise.

Fruit and Nut Tools with Mono

The pleasure of peeling an orange, slicing an apple and cracking open a walnut is so much simpler and easier with the mono tools designed specifically for the job.

 

mono's citro orange peeler is a graceful tool for a mundane task. Score the orange peel into segments and with the angled blade lift and remove the strips.

The mono pico opens walnuts easily and gently. Simply insert the Pico's centre prong into the top of the nut at the seam, turn like a key, and split the shell in half. The outer prongs are used to remove the nut from the shell.

The mono giro apple slicer lets you slice an apple in spiral form around the core. Place giro on the started apple, finish it later and it will neither dry out nor get brown.

 


Each tool retails at £18.00 but if you buy all three together they are just £49.95. Ideal for Christmas - to use at home or as presents. Available from Tabletop Design.
