Washstations
& Basin Stands: A New Line-Up From Imperial Bathrooms
A total of 13 new washstations and basin stands from Imperial
Bathrooms is further testimony to its ambitious new product
launch strategy and increased resolve to distinguish itself within the
retail marketplace.
Designed to provide a distinctive, modern and imaginative alternative
to the traditional pedestal, these freestanding and wall hung units not
only offer a variety of space saving and storage opportunities, they provide
a stunning finishing statement for any bathroom.
Freestanding
Washstations: Combining practicality with the beauty of natural materials,
Imperial Bathrooms now offers four new freestanding timber washstations
to add to its existing successful ranges. Embracing classical elegance
with modern design, these units appeal to both contemporary and period
interiors. Each piece is individually hand-crafted in solid wood and cleverly
co-ordinates with a new line-up of basins, stone and marble vessel bowls,
co-ordinating mirrors and brassware. A choice of wood finishes completes
the bespoke look.
From just four models - Cuda, Sirona, Cian and Linea - a variety of storage
options are presented. As well as 'open' units that boast a choice of
an integral drawer and a wood slatted or glass shelf, the new line-up
offers single and double door units that are available in a striking metal
or wood weave fronts. The complete Linea range also offers a choice of
wood or marble tops, together with a corner option that is ideal for those
bathrooms where space is at a premium.
Freestanding Metal Basin Stands: Designed to complement the company's
popular Westminster, Oxford, Cambridge and Etoile ranges of sanitaryware,
this new collection successfully harmonises modern features with traditional
elegant design. Whilst Oxford, Cambridge and Etoile incorporate an integral
glass storage shelf and towel rail with a choice of antique gold or chrome
finish, Westminster epitomises the 'modern classic' design ideal. Its
striking decorative chrome front panel is complemented by traditionally-styled
legs that are available in either chrome or chrome with wenge wood.
Wall-hung Units: Although both present space saving opportunities,
the new Latis washstations bring modern elegance to any bathroom, whilst
the Astoria Deco basin, complete with Epoch decorative wall brackets,
oozes period charm. Accommodating the company's new vessel, stone and
marble bowls, the single-door Latis washstations also offer a choice of
metal or wood weave door fronts and finish.
All freestanding and wall-hung units are designed to complement Imperial
Bathrooms' recently extended range of brassware.

Imperial
Bathrooms Launches ‘Limited Edition’ Designs
Imperial Bathrooms introduces Limited
Edition – an exclusive collection of seven distinctive designs created
especially for three of the company’s hand-crafted sanitaryware ranges.
Limited
Edition echoes the marketing concept of 'Pseudo-Adaptive Design Customisation',
whereby the company’s standard range of sanitaryware products have
been cleverly adapted to create individual pieces that are perceived as
unique and exclusive by the consumer. As well as bringing a high level
of design and style to the bathroom, this collection is a statement of
quality and investment. To create further individuality, bespoke Limited
Edition pieces are also available.
Each design is featured subtly around the basin edge and cistern lid.
Whilst Bubble, Zen and Frappe offer subtle yet eye-catching patterns that
introduce vibrancy and colour to the bathroom, Jazz and Kinetic provide
a more contemporary and elegant look. Meanwhile, a bold design statement
is offered by Pebble and Bathroom – the latter paying homage to its
own inscription with black lettering on crisp white ceramic.
To create further kudos for the consumer, a strictly limited number of
each design is to be produced. Each Limited Edition piece comes complete
with a platinum logo, an exclusive numbered certificate and all are meticulously
foam packaged.
Imperial Bathrooms’ Managing Director, Antonio Garrido, explains:
'The introduction of this unique handcrafted range marks an exciting phase
of development for the company. Not only does it demonstrate our passion
for design and manufacture, together with our relentless endeavours to
satisfy the needs of the discerning, it is an ideal opportunity for us
to present the market with real points of design differential.'
He continued: 'We believe that consumers are increasingly searching for
products that make them feel special, unique and individual, and with
increased disposable income, they are willing to invest more than ever
to personalise their home. Limited Edition not only offers these consumers
a customised and exclusive bathroom solution, it provides the ultimate
in personal expression and style.'
All three ranges of sanitaryware complete with Limited Edition designs
are manufactured in-house by Imperial Bathrooms’ team of skilled
specialists. Each piece is hand-finished to exacting standards and comes
available with a lifetime guarantee.

Striking
a Good First Impression
Twyford Bathrooms is expanding its
ever-popular Twyford Pure range with the launch of Impression, a brand
new contemporary suite for the retail sector.
Placed
towards the higher end of the market, Impression is designed with a striking
geometric aesthetic that clearly boasts an 'urban chic' style.
The clean and subtle lines are echoed through the different pieces, giving
a strong design link and sense of continuity throughout the suite.
The Impression suite comprises a close coupled WC with a soft close seat
as standard, and an easy to use push button dual flush (6L/4L) to help
save water.
There are four different basins to choose from, all 1-tap: a 600mm basin,
a 400mm hand rinse basin, a semi-recessed basin and a 530mm corner basin.
The 600mm basin can also be matched with a full pedestal or a semi-pedestal
to cleverly give the illusion of space.
Impression
offers an extensive range of uniquely designed products to realise a modern
bathroom scheme.
The different suite options give the consumer greater choice, and offers
a solution for every installation situation.
As one would expect from Twyford, Impression is competitively priced and
of course conforms to European quality standards. Moreover, each product
comes with a full guarantee.
Excitingly, a new range of furniture and bath options will be available
later on in the year, to offer an even greater choice of products.

'Ei-Giene’
BathSound turns any acrylic bath into
a highly refined audio loudspeaker. ‘Whilst the thought is almost
unimaginable, the results have to be heard to be believed,’ says
the company.
BathSound
lets you plug in your iPod / MP3 player and with a volume control positioned
on the bath you can listen to your favorite music whilst having a shave,
washing your hair, showering and more unbelievable soaking in the BathSound.
‘Whether empty or full of water, the sound is incredible, and the
reproduction is so life like, you can close your eyes and be part of the
BathSound.
‘BathSound works on the same principle as a musical instrument such
as the acoustic guitar or violin. Using a patented electro-acoustic excitation
device attached on either side of the bath, the whole body of the bath
vibrates very slightly. And, just like the guitar or violin, these vibrations
create a powerful and natural sound source.
‘BathSound is completely hygienic, needs no cleaning or maintenance,
and is completely safe.’
£399 inc vat fitted with your Spa or Whirlpool.

RevoLOOtionary
Water Saving Design from Impulse Bathroom Products
A
Birmingham company is hoping to flush out the water conscious public with
the launch of the UK's first toilet with a 4.5 - 3 litre dual flush. ‘This
unique design from Impulse Bathroom Products
is one of the most important developments in a world where water use reduction
is rapidly becoming a priority,’ says the company.
Estimated to save a minimum of 25% of water per flush in the average family
home, the new Impulse Tribune Dual Flush WC, which is equipped with its
EVO(tm) valve, has been awarded WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Service)
accreditation.
The company says that the new design is the first system in the UK to
operate a 4.5 litre/3 litre dual flush system. Having enjoyed success
in Australia where water regulations are extremely stringent, Impulse
will now be offering the EVO(tm) system in many of its ranges.
Gary Hawkins, General Manager of Impulse said: ‘Water prices (supply
and waste) continue to rise steadily, more and more homes have water meters
fitted and many of us have experienced hose pipe bans and even stand pipes
during summer months. The need for us to conserve water is vital and can
no longer be ignored.
‘Impulse's design team has embraced water conservation and developed
the EVO(tm) 41/2 / 3 litre flush valve. This revolutionary EVO(tm) outlet
valve in conjunction with the remodelled geometry of the WC trap design
has resulted in the UK's first WRAS approved 41/2 / 3 litre toilet suite
- The Tribune WC pan and cistern. The new Impulse Zeto Suite which was
also launched officially at KBB 2006 is the second 41/2 / 3 EVO(tm) valve
suite in the stylish Impulse range.
‘We hope that architects, businesses, water conservationists and
the general public will appreciate the ecological and financial benefits
of this development.
‘Not only does the new Impulse EVO(tm) flush system offer between
a 25% to 40% water saving on current flush systems installed in the UK
(on full flush), it offers an improved flush efficiency which is over
and above current UK requirements.
‘Installing the Impulse EVO system in British homes could save millions
of litres of water each year without compromising sewage systems; we believe
that our new system represents a very significant saving both economically
and ecologically’.
Ashley
Bathrooms Launches new Cloakroom Sanitaryware: Less Basin - More Made
in Britain
Ashley
Bathrooms
has launched two new cloakroom basins to add to its 'Made in Britain'
range of sanitaryware. Named after local villages surrounding the company's
Derbyshire-based head office, the Kedleston and Repton cloakroom basins
are faithfully slimmed-down versions of their full sized siblings. Suitable
for cloakrooms and ensuites alike, both offer a compact 500mm width and
similarly low projections from the wall. Like all Ashley sanitaryware
both new basins come with a lifetime guarantee.
As two of the most popular collections in the Ashley Bathrooms range,
the Kedleston and Repton are designed to assist the trend of having multiple
bathrooms within one house kitted out with the same range of sanitaryware.
Attention to achieving this consistent design theme extends to the dedicated
pedestal. This option not only successfully hides the waste fittings,
it also accurately maintains a very specific look across two versions
of the same product. Both new cloakroom basins feature a single tap hole
and are designed to look their best when used in conjunction with Ashley's
dedicated range of brassware.
David Smith, Ashley Bathroom's Marketing Director says, ‘Our aim
is to offer more choice, whilst keeping the same successful brand values
of clean design and high quality local workmanship. Ashley bathrooms is
the last remaining British-owned sanitaryware factory in Stoke-on-Trent.
The region has a long heritage of producing the finest ceramic goods in
the world and this makes us proud to be taking the range forward with
quality homegrown products.’

'Designers
at Moods' Teams Up with Gala
The
new Moods Bathroom Designer Collection, a division of PJH
Group, has launched the Universal Bathroom range from Gala.
The company says that The Designer Collection, which is exclusive to PJH,
has been created to ‘simply offer the 'best of the best' bathroom
products, sourced from many of the world's most respected designers and
bathroom specialists’.
As one of the leading bathroom specialists in Spain, Gala has teamed up
with Moods to make the new Universal bathroom range an exclusive to Moods
stockists. A modern classic, the Universal matches up to its name - a
contemporary style whilst at the same time versatile enough to suit a
wide range of interiors and tastes.
Universal's fashionable square and chunky nature has been softened to
provide a more feminine look to the strong geometric lines. Compact, yet
large enough to suit a family bathroom, the designer range features a
close coupled pan and bidet, plus a 600mm one tap hole basin with space-saving
semi-pedestal.
As part of the new Moods Designer Collection, the Universal ceramic ware
range has been chosen due to its properties in coordinating with other
bathroom products in the collection. In particular the new Cesana shower
enclosure range, also in the collection, complements Universal's similar
design-led features, up-to-the-minute looks and quality standards. This
theme runs throughout the entire Designer Collection.

Designer Collection, call PJH Group on 01204 707070 or visit http://www.pjhgroup.com
