New
Admiral Brochure from Maytag UK
Maytag
UK
has introduced a new colour brochure for its value line, Admiral. The
stylish new full colour brochure incorporates colour photographs of both
the refrigeration and laundry range of models, with internal shots adding
further clarity.
The newly designed front cover aptly demonstrates the effortless sophistication
and minimal aesthetics of Admiral's popular SAC2027GB. The opening page
introduces the signature style, features and reliability which have secured
the reputation of the Admiral brand for the last 70 years.
The refrigeration section features Admiral's range of fully customisable
models, and illustrates the wealth of features and benefits each range
has to offer. Also highlighted is the stylish new 'Colours' range; the
hi-tech super smooth models combine all of the features and benefits a
consumer would expect from Admiral, with a choice of silver, black or
white models to complement the interior design of any kitchen. All models
are 'true counter depth' to fit seamlessly into the kitchen.
True American laundry occupies the rear of the brochure displaying the
huge loads that can be washed and dried in the durable washer and dryer,
whilst emphasising the time and energy saving capacity of these machines.
The company history and standards are neatly presented within the back
cover alongside the specifications of each Admiral model.

or call Maytag UK on 01737 231 000.

Matki's
Guide to Buying a Shower
Following
the recent changes in the role of the bathroom and the increase in the
number of ensuites, a huge demand has emerged amongst homeowners for high
quality fittings within the bathroom. With many showering options now
available, Matki, the designer and
manufacturer of quality showering products, has compiled a comprehensive
guide to choosing a shower.
• Decide on the space and position of the shower in order to use
the largest shower surround possible. Matki recommends the minimum space
required to fit a good shower is 760mm x 760mm, but the larger the better.
• Ensure there is enough room for the shower door to open out without
obstruction. Consider pivot, in-fold or in-swing doors, which are ideal
for small spaces. For larger showers a sliding door is a good choice.
• Check the pressure requirement for the shower selected. Multifunctional
shower heads often require minimum one bar pressure to work well and therefore
may require a pump. If a combination boiler is in place, a pump cannot
be added. Using a handset and, say, body jets at the same time will require
more pressure.
• Make sure the shower door and enclosure can fit the height of the
room, especially as the shower tray may need to be raised above the floor
to create a fall for the waste pipe.
• Go for solid shower trays such as acrylic capped or cast stone.
• If the room has no window, make sure a satisfactory extractor fan
is in place to remove excess moisture in the air. Consider an extractor
with a humidistat as they automatically turn on/off depending on the amount
of moisture in the room.
• Matki shower doors now come with the option of Glass Guard protection
that makes the glass easier to keep clean against limescale and dirt deposits.
• The hot water cylinder must store adequate litres. Some showers
have high flow rates which means if a small tank is in place hot water
will quickly run out.
• Good lighting is essential if a shower is to be installed into
a recess between two walls or a cupboard.

This
October, Ideal Bathrooms has launched
Trade Secrets, a new quarterly communication which will be mailed to all
customers.
Trade Secrets is a newsletter crammed full of special offers, display
deals and new products for all Ideal Bathrooms' customers. It is being
sent out with the latest yellow Price Guide and is an extension of Ideal
Bathrooms' policy of more frequent communication to its customer base.
Communication is critical to Ideal Bathrooms' success and Trade Secrets'
aim is to create increased awareness of new products and the latest special
offers and promotions.
Ideal Bathrooms says that it has developed the art of distribution and
‘prides itself on its friendly, fast and efficient service and its
excellent prices. Ideal Bathrooms has the most comprehensive and most
popular Price Guide in the business, with most bathroom showrooms in the
UK reaching for the 'Yellow Book' in times of need.’
Ideal Bathrooms has added an extra four sales people to the team this
year extending its face-to-face contact philosophy to improve business.
This is in contrast to many other businesses, which are cutting back on
face-to-face sales in favour of telephone sales. Ideal Bathrooms believes
that although telephone sales can be useful for certain purposes, nothing
can beat face-to-face contact to build up good business relationships.
Ideal Bathrooms says that it continues its excellent performance trajectory
and with a superb service ethos and efficient communications, sales have
increased despite tough market conditions. ‘BSIRA recently reported
a 6% decline in industry shower sales which is not reflected in the increased
sales shown at Ideal Bathrooms. With the company’s sales up in a
declining market, Ideal Bathrooms market share is increasing, confirming
that its policies are the right ones for its customers.’

Dovetail Key’.
The brochure is divided into six main sections:

range and selection of keys. It concludes with examples of the versatility

The
Solaris range of glass radiators
comes in from the cold with a new consumer brochure giving full details
of the colours and sizes of radiator available, as well as technical information
as to how they operate.
Solaris glass radiators are as attractive as they are efficient. Available
in a standard range of eight colours, their power output ranges from 450
Watts to 1500 Watts.
The front of each radiator is a single sheet of enamelled safety glass,
and the slimline design means that they take up very little space, protruding
just 85mm out from the wall. Glass naturally accumulates heat so it is
an ideal material for radiators. Equally suitable as the main heating
source or for additional heating when required, Solaris radiators are
distributed in the UK by Warm Corner of Doncaster.
The new brochure shows the radiators at work throughout the home in a
variety of lifestyle settings including kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms.
A two-page section in the brochure gives details of the sophisticated
control systems available – such as zone programming for energy efficiency
and remote switching by telephone for convenience – and explains
how the OHDS (Optimal Heating Distribution System) glass used in the construction
of each radiator helps to provide even temperatures from floor to ceiling.
The new Solaris brochure is available direct from Warm Corner. It can
be requested via the Warm Corner website (http://www.warmcorner.co.uk),
where a PDF version can also be downloaded, or by calling the company
on: 01302 757040

the Franke Triflow system, which delivers filtered water as well as the
standard hot/cold supply, the Franke Trispray which includes the benefits
of the Franke Triflow but with an added spray head, along with The Franke
Little Butler, which dispenses near-boiling water, are examples of Franke's
continued commitment to providing kitchen solutions.

has an impact on the level of performance of any tap, mixer, shower or
bath.
This new Guide underpins the Brassware Guide and the Shower Controls Guide,
which has been completely revised.
Before specifying any bathroom product, it is necessary to establish the
type of hot and cold water system in the property and customers' expectations
in respect product performance. The Domestic Water Systems Guides is essential
reading if you wish to 'get it right first time'.
The new Domestic Water Systems Guide is the eighth in the series. The
Guides feature detailed information on Bathroom Furniture, Brassware,
Shower Enclosures, Shower Trays, Shower Controls, Sanitaryware and Fittings,
Baths and Domestic Water Systems.
Written by Industry experts, each Guide offers a consistent voice and
follows the same five elements: right choice of product; generic industry
design; generic industry installation; FAQ; and, Industry terminology,
providing invaluable product knowledge to installers, merchants and retailers.
