for ultimate versatility and bath shower mixers come complete with shower
kit and wall bracket.

and easily fitted with a flow restrictor for reduced water wastage and
environmental protection.
For a coordinated look, Deva also offers a fully complementary range of
showers and accessories including towel warmers and rails, shelves and
holders.
Hybrid is a leading range from Deva's Concepts range of the most contemporary
styled luxury bathroom taps and mixers suitable for designer homes or

Head
and Shoulders Above the Rest

White shoulders to provide the perfect match to its SilkSheen Fragranite
Polar White sinks.
Coordination
is key to any successful kitchen project and the addition of white elements

Thorough
Fair!
Wet
rooms may be the hottest news in showering but not everyone enjoys all
over saturation in the bathroom!
The new Walk-through Wet Room screen from Adamsez
fits tight to a tanked floor, and helps to keep water neatly contained
in one area (and those towels dry!).
Bringing you one step closer to showering freedom without total exposure,
this minimalist, frameless design is secured by two subtly fitted brackets
with three glass panels made from high grade 8mm thick toughened safety
glass.
It measures 850mm deep and 985mm wide (although you need to leave clearance
each side to get in and out).

Glass
Shower Systems - Sliding or Panel-flush Clamping Proving Popular
For
conventional shower areas, or modern wet rooms, the Gral shower system
range from DORMA can offer a solution
for practically any situation, featuring folding, sliding and swinging
doors, using fittings with a rising or self-closing mechanism.
The DORMA SO750 Glass Shower System for example, is effectively an updated
version of the thoroughly proven and highly successful MANET range of
fittings.
Gral has tailored these specifically to the requirements of a made-to-measure
shower. The sliding door roller travels almost silently along the track
and the aesthetics of the system, combined with its stainless steel frame,
make it ideal for wet room applications.
One of the latest kids on the block is the DORMA BO 415 Glass Shower System,
which uses a rectangular shaped hinge with a countersunk fixing to provide
a smooth finish between the fitting and the inner surface of the glass.
There is a choice of overlapping or flush glass-to-glass fittings allowing
a variety of configurations. The flush clamping system in particular results
in a low-maintenance, easily cleaned panel surface on the interior of
the shower cubicle.

Triton's
Best Seller goes Metallic
As
metallic finishes continue to drive the showering market, Triton
says that the launch of its new T80xr Chrome and T80xr Satin/Chrome electric
showers look set to expand the popular appeal of its bestselling model
even further.
Incorporating up-to-the-minute chrome styling and ergonomic slim-line
design, these two new additions to the range give consumers the choice
of two very different contemporary looks - whilst continuing to offer
installers the same advanced features and ease of installation as other
models in the XR range.
The T80xr Chrome's sleek, all-chrome fascia, control and power selector
dials and push start/stop button make this easy-to-use shower ideal for
customers looking to make a statement in the bathroom.
T80xr
Chrome and Satin/Chrome electric showers
Or,
for those preferring a more subtle design option, the T80xr Satin/Chrome
electric shower offers a chic, matt chrome fascia with eye-catching all-chrome
dials and start/stop button, to produce an equally striking overall look
that will complement any modern bathroom.
Additional features of the T80xr Chrome and Satin/Chrome electric showers
include an easy-grip, numbered temperature dial to ensure straight forward
temperature selection, a push start/stop button and cold, economy and
high power selections for an even wider choice of showering options. An
all-chrome shower kit includes an easy-to-fit, riser rail and hose, and
a five-mode showerhead. Rub-clean nodes on the showerhead make it simple
to clean after use.
Lorna Fellowes, managing director for Triton showers comments:
‘The bathroom has become such an important statement room in the
home, and these two new T80xr Chrome and Satin/Chrome models not only
provide the perfect options for customers completely revamping their bathroom
to those simply wanting to replace an existing electric shower with a
more up-to-date model.
‘By combining the latest electric showering technology with contemporary
style, the T80xr Chrome and T80xr Satin/Chrome models provide the looks,
functions and ease of installation that is sure to continue the T80xr's
runaway success.’
The T80xr Chrome and Satin/Chrome models are available in 8.5kW, 9.5kW
and 10.5kW versions and have a two year guarantee.
As with all Triton showers, the new XR chrome additions come with the
reassuring backing that a big brand offers along with unbeatable customer
service and after sales support, that means installers can simply 'fit
and forget'. Triton's technical team is also on hand to answer installation
questions before, during and after installation, and the XR showers are
available on a next day rapid replenishment service if ordered before
5pm.

Fusing
style and functionality, Deva’s
new six-strong range of Sensor Taps brings a new dimension to touch free
operation.
The
stylish designs will transform high-end public washrooms and can even
bring a touch of modernity to private homes. The affordable range does
not compromise features, functionality or style.
Kind to the environment, the auto-shut off function means that public
and domestic water wastage is reduced and with vandal resistant designs
there is low risk of flooding.
Installation and maintenance is simple, and whether you choose mains or
battery-operated products the warranty is valid for 2 years (parts and
labour).
While each of the 6 taps in the Sensor Tap range feature different sleek
chrome designs, each is built to the same high specification.
All taps are suitable for both cold and premixed water and include battery
backup in case of mains power loss. Vandal resistant, the Sensor Taps
range also feature a scratch resistant sensor window and inbuilt limescale
remover. They include a moisture and water resistant control unit, which
contains an intelligent readjusting sensor effective up to 31cm.
Deva’s Steve Rothwell says: 'On average, the return on investment
for sensor devices is around 30% depending, of course, on the water costs
but we’ve calculated a payback period of about 6-12 months to two
years. Water efficiency tops the list of cost control priorities - followed
by issues of energy usage, vandalism, maintenance and legislative costs.
And with increasing consumer concerns towards health and hygiene –
coupled with the environment - we’ve created a new brassware range
that meets today’s changing legislative needs and those of the consumer.'
The range is also part of Deva’s Earthwise product offering, which
means that it is proven to reduced water wastage and provide environmental
protection.
The Sensor Taps range is suitable for a maximum operational temperature
of 45°C and requires 0.5 bar minimum pressure.
The product range comprises:

Franke
has devised a subtle and stylish way to deliver purified water to the
more environmentally-aware and health-conscious consumer with the Franke
Triflow tap. Demonstrating three handles and using an advanced ceramic
filter, purified water is delivered in a separate channel to ensure no
contamination from the hot or cold flow.
The Franke Triflow technology reinstates the tap as an essential part
of the kitchen. With the fad for expensive and un-environmentally friendly
bottled water, water-filter jugs and coolers installed in refrigerators,
consumers are moving away from drinking water from the tap. By providing
filtered water through convenient and subtle means, Franke Triflow brings
consumers back to the sink.
Filtering out chemicals, bacteria and particles as small as 0.2 microns,
it provides pure water at an affordable price. Even if the source is contaminated,
the water will be safe to drink from the Franke Triflow. Consumers don't
have to worry about whether they are drinking hard or soft water, or if
their kettle will become thick with limescale; they will be able to taste
the difference.
Sleek and sophisticated, the Franke Triflow is available in seven different
models, from the popular modern Kubus to the more traditional Doric; with
finishes available including Chrome and SilkSteel as well as Nickel or
Gold on some models.
For further information, contact 0161 436 6280, or visit http://www.franke.co.uk.
Peglerfill:
The Combined Bath Filler & Overflow
In
the wake of the recent commercial integration between Pegler
and Yorkshire, a number of new products
are already starting to become available, including the new Peglerfill
combined bath filler and overflow system.
Branded
with the Francis Pegler logo the Peglerfill is an elegant bathroom solution
that allows the bath to be filled from the overflow, ideal for those who
do not want overhanging taps to get in the way of their bathing experience!
The Peglerfill has been developed to function on most types of water systems
and offers an understated look to add a touch of unusual elegance to any
home. It is also possible to mix and match the Peglerfill Bath filler
with a selection of other Pegler products. Side valves and handles from
the Xia and Slique ranges can be used in conjunction with this product,
depending upon the type of look desired. Xia offers period styling with
a bit of a modern twist, whereas Slique offers a cylindrical theme suitable
for today's designer wet rooms.
Slique is particularly popular, having been ergonomically sculpted to
allow finger touch water control. The understated design makes them the
ideal combination for Peglerfill.
Minimum operating pressures are as low as 0.8 bar for a good fill rate
on standard baths, but with an acceptable flow rate at higher pressure,
Peglerfill is also suitable for the more luxurious larger bath. The Peglerfill
is also supplied with check valves fitted into either inlet of the unit
to stop any crossover of water supplies if there is an imbalance of hot
and cold operating pressures.
Pegler Yorkshire's Taps, Mixers and Showers Product Manager Mike Dickinson
said, ‘Our new Peglerfill system is the perfect way to fill the bath
and is a real alternative to the traditional tap. We have taken the understated
design and combined it with our plumbing know-how to create an integrated
system that is as effective and trouble free as it is attractive.’
The Peglerfill comes complete with a blanking cap suitable for the single
inlet of water. This option makes the product suitable for use with the
luxurious Francis Pegler Tidal concealed shower. This multi functional
wall mounted shower valve offers the user three outlet options, with a
fixed shower head with body jets or separate handset complementing the
pre-mixed thermostatically controlled water to the Peglerfill on the bath.

of the water flow to be adjusted to suit the basin, whether flat, small
or deep. Two designs are offered depending on whether an angular or soft
curved design is preferred.
The bidet mixer mirrors the design of the angular basin mixer while the
bath fittings include a concealed single lever bath and shower mixer,
a wall mounted bath spout and an exposed single lever bath and shower
mixer.
For the shower, Zenta includes a concealed shower mixer and a single lever
