Tretzo’s
New Washstand is Victoriana Revisited
Found
in every Victorian home, complete with jug and basin, the humble washstand
has been reinvented by the UK bathroom furniture manufacturer, Tretzo.
Suitable for modern or heritage homes, Tretzo’s new minimal washstand
range Zero, has been taken up by several UK developers for their key properties.
With the Zero collection Tretzo’s aim was to bring futuristic design
to an everyday item. Made in fashionable beech and walnut finish, it offers
a relaxed, contemporary look. Consumer can choose from a range of three
deck mounted basins, or select their own basin. Each Zero washstand, now
available in three sizes 550mm, 740mm & 1400mm with double basins,
can be complemented with a matching illuminated mirror which includes
high tech infrared switching as standard. The larger washstands are also
supplied with a satin aluminium slatted shelf.
Tretzo sales manager Nick Willis explains 'Developers and design-aware
home-makers are always looking for something different and our new Zero
range fits the bill perfectly. It’s the equivalent to what you may
have seen in old movies; the traditional washstand with a big china jug
for carrying hot water from the kitchen to be poured into the bowl. Tretzo
has taken that idea and brought it up to date.'
With nearly 40 years of manufacturing experience and a strong client base,
Tretzo UK says that it has launched its Sixes, Zero and Module bathroom
ranges to accolades from developers and specifiers. High build quality
and modern, minimalist design combine as Tretzo’s personality trademark.
The company is currently providing over 400 bathroom furniture suites
to Victoria Mills, a £70m development of a 19th Century textile
mill in Bradford, which is being transformed into luxury apartments.

Partition
Wall System from Sprinz, Ravensburg - Anything but Boring
Together
with the designer Matteo Thun, Sprinz
has created an attractive partition wall system for wellness and sanitary
applications. Complete room and colour concepts for changing rooms and
lavatories can be produced thanks to the unconventional use that is made
of glass, the material from which the system is made. High-quality details
like fittings that are flush on both sides, glossy chrome elements and
unobtrusive stiffening sections that can hardly be seen emphasise the
character of the partition wall system.
The
'Basic' model is produced from toughened safety glass 10 mm thick. The
walls are printed all over with RAL colours on the inside according to
the room requirements and colour preferences. Colour photos are reproduced
on one of the most modern screen printing machines too. Whether designs
are chosen to fit in with the colour scheme of the room or individual
motifs and logos are needed, the range of harmonious compositions from
minimalistic black-and-white to colourful features could hardly be more
extensive.
The 'Modern' model is a suitable choice for sophisticated, representative
solutions. It has high-gloss chrome mirror glass on the inside. The outside
of the cubicle has a matt chrome, screen-printed finish. Discreet, shadowy
reflections that make a particularly vivid impression are produced by
the screen printing process. Corporate logos or individual motifs can
be integrated in this surface.
Both models can be used to produce partition walls, individual cubicles
and rows of cubicles. All the walls and the stiffening element are made
of rugged, toughened safety glass 10 mm thick with polished edges. Door
handles, fittings, covers, feet and supports have a glossy or matt chrome
finish. The high-quality screen-printed and glass surfaces are easy to
clean and therefore hygienic. The cubicles are spacious, provide plenty
of freedom of movement and are easily accessible. The doors of both models
gre 600 and 750 mm wide and can be chosen to open either inwards or outwards.
The total height of the partition wall system is 2050 mm and the dimensions
bf the partition walls are 850 x 1250 / 1500 mm.
The system is distributed throughout Germany by special Sprinz partners.

Shimmering
Blue Scintilla is Number One is Norske Interiors' Homebuyers' Chart'
The
dazzling shade of Blue Scintilla has enchanted so many home buyers that
it is now the most popular colour choice from Norske
Interiors' iridescent Aurora collection of Mermaid waterproof
wall panels.
Blue Scintilla fuses a bold and glossy blue with a glittering silver to
create an alluring shimmer effect that appears to change colour with the
light. Norske Interiors' creative colour combination not only produces
a fascinating bathing environment, the glinting silver effect complements
contemporary chrome fittings and accessories.
A particularly popular choice for shower enclosures, the high performance,
decorative laminate finish and the sealed tongued-and-grooved edges make
Mermaid panels waterproof and watertight. With no grouting required, Mermaid
panels avoid the unsightly discoloration which tiled walls often suffer,
particularly in showering areas, and are so effective at waterproofing
that they are even suitable for use with power showers.
To finish any Mermaid installation, another product from Norske lnteriors
is the patented bottom profile which ensures a leak proof seal even if
movement of the shower tray occurs.
