faint hearted but the company had the

foresight to see that there was a market

here for Italian designer bathroom products

that stand out from the mainstream.

eye catching designs and decent margins

for stockists has built up loyal partnerships

with showrooms that continue to pay good

dividends – not just for retailers and

installers but also for homeowners who

are happy with the products they have

bought and are likely to recommend them

to others.

RAK Ceramics has just launched Opulence, a stunning new collection designed to offer acombination of practical choice and luxurious styling in the bathroom. The new

collection is a design collaboration between UK designer Phil Allen and Rob Jull, RAK UK’sMD. The range is a clear statement to the industry that RAK Ceramics intends to grow itssanitaryware offering to match its world leading status for ceramic and porcelain tiles.

Characterised by its one piece, integral appearance, the Opulence suite blends soft,flowing curves and clean lines through individual pieces that work together in subtleharmony. This elegant, minimalist look also offers the practical values of easy cleaning andmaintenance without detracting from its good looks.

The cistern has a ceramic integrated cover that conceals the inner plastic tank. Thisreduces the condensation that usually builds up on the surface when cold water enters the cistern.

The luxury moulded seat has a soft close action and top fixings for easy cleaning andmaintenance. The close coupled WC pan is fully back to wall to give a sleek, seamless lookbetween the pan and the cistern.

Rob Jull, RAK UK’s MD, says Opulence is a suite for today’s more discerning customer.“Today’s bathroom products have to achieve much more for the user in terms of visualappreciation and functionality. The Opulence range has a very special feature with two

versions of the basin and an array of grooming accessories for him and her. There are threebasin sizes for each style, starting at 58cm wide with a super slim full or half pedestal; themid-size 80cm console and the extra wide 100cm console. The complete basin offering isdesigned for both sexes. The launch WCs feature a fabulous back to wall close coupledversion with lidless cistern and contoured soft close seat. Any of the basins can be mountedonto or into a solid top like RAK’s porcelain slabs - ideal for those who want more worktopspace.”

The success of RAK Ceramics in the bathroom and kitchen markets has come fromoffering unparalleled value for money. This has given the brand substantial volume in itslower price tag designs. Opulence will be added to the already successful RAKEliteCollection, which features Infinity and Reserva – premium product ranges that have already penetrated the marketplace at a higher level and introduced RAK’s design skills to awider audience.

AutoClose® by Pressalit

Open up to an unexpected finish

The new AutoClose® function by Pressalit ends the debate between

the sexes; should the seat be left up or down? The seat and cover

close automatically after use. As long as the sensor registers a

user the cover will remain open – for 1+1/2 minutes as a minimum.

Afterwards the smart soft close mechanism integrated into the seat

ensures that it quietly closes onto the pan. Finally it’s the end of

slamming toilet seats.

Unique, minimalistic design

The AutoClose® function comes with the toilet seat Modern Art

which is an elegant and luxurious seat that unifies the best quality,

functionality and design – the trademark of Pressalit Seats.

Modern Art with AutoClose® suits most pans.

Cabinets are made toorder by skilled

craftsmanship deliveringexcellent product

quality. With fast leadtimes of as little as five

working days, it’s easy tosee why retailers use

Mereway Bathrooms astheir furniture supplier.

For more than 10 years Mereway

Bathrooms has been manufacturing

Bathroom furniture for the UK market

from its Birmingham based production

facility. In recent years the brand has gone

from strength to strength expanding and

changing within its core market, remaining

strong and competitive, consistently driving

forward in today’s difficult economic

climate. As a business Mereway Bathrooms

has maintained a programme of continual

development, attributed to many factors but

particularly to the company’s dedicated

focus on supporting independent retailers

and their needs.

In line with this Mereway Bathrooms

sees part of its attraction to dealers in

products coming from UK manufacturing

facilities, not just assembly of pre purchased

components. They take pride in the

manufacturing processes, with doors and

cabinets being created to order on site.

Within the factory, Mereway Bathrooms

employs a dedicated team that carefully

manages individual orders through

processes such as cutting, drilling, edging,

gluing, sanding, machining, routing and

trimming. Each order is then carefully

packaged and delivered fully rigid and ready

for fitting making the job much easier for

installers. Every effort is taken to develop

and improve these processes, with processes

like pre -cutting worktops and fascias to

order, so there is minimal work to be carried

out on site with consumers receiving their

bathrooms with less mess and in less time.

What these processes offer Mereway

Bathrooms outlets is control and flexibility

with orders, exceptionally short lead times at

just five days or less for most orders and

each delivered by the company’s own fleet

of trucks and employed drivers.

“Mereway Bathrooms offer retailers

peace of mind that their orders will be

delivered in excellent condition, on time

and correct. As a UK manufacturer, it’s easy

for us to have complete and total control of

orders and finished product quality.”

Director “With each cabinet being

fascias and solid surfaces cut to order, thus

offering some of the shortest lead times in

the business,” Tim continues. “We

consistently stay ahead of the game with

the breadth of products available and our

dedication to customer service. You will

struggle to find a supplier that ticks all the

boxes but we work hard to deliver quickly

and efficiently every time.”

doors with finishes that span over ten ranges

- 18 laminate, eight Fusion composite and

nine solid surface worktops, basins,

Innovative and style-led products fromEurocare are at the forefront of accessible

bathing.

Imminent Government changes in social care and cuts to

local authority budgets have meant that an increasing

number of elderly people and their families will be looking

for accessible bathroom solutions, presenting retailers with

a golden opportunity. At a time when most retailers are

feeling the pinch, many are looking for new ways to boost

sales. The ageing population and the increasing number of

elderly people who will be forced to remain in their own

homes mean that the provision of accessible bathing

equipment could be just the opportunity retailers are

looking for.

Choosing the right supplier is undoubtedly the key to

success in this fast growing and lucrative market. Doncaster

based Eurocare Showers is one of the UK’s leading

accessible bathing manufacturers. With many years of

experience in the design and manufacture of assistive

equipment, the company specialises in the manufacture of

bathing and showering solutions for a number of national

retailers. Historically retailers have been put off by accessible

bathing, perceiving it as a specialised area with

institutionalised products. In reality only a small percentage

of people require a specialist solution, providing a golden

opportunity for accessible bathing to be integrated into

mainstream bathroom retail. Working with a reputable

manufacturer who understands the retail market ensures

that retailers can offer customers the right product,

correctly installed first time. Eurocare has invested heavily in

product development over the last few years, designing

products that are practical as well as stylish. The company

also offers a range of training options for new and existing

customers, ranging from sales and technical to full

installation courses.

With two ranges to choose from, Eurocare is the only

company that manufactures both accessible baths and

showers in the UK. Dedicated to continuous development,

the company strives to deliver high quality products that

are innovative and suitable for a wide variety of users. The

walk-in bath range, Bathing by Eurocare, is a stunning

collection of innovative baths that have been created for

today’s modern living. Carefully designed and planned in

Mira Showers has an unbeatable design and

engineering pedigree in thermostatic

mixer showers from large, luxury deluge heads

to compact, water efficient mini valves. This

year the company is celebrating its 90th

anniversary. Among the most notable events

from those 90 years was the launch in the

1950s of the Leonard 722 – the first

thermostatic shower valve able to cope with

the UK’s unique pressure conditions.

Today, this heritage of engineering

innovation persists with probably the most

comprehensive range of quality mixers on the

UK market. It is a range that spans all needs,

requirements and budgets from luxury 30cm

drenchers to Waterwise eco options.

Above: Available with a choice of heads from15cm to an ultra large 30cm deluge model, theMontpellier is at the peak of showering luxury.Beautifully styled the shower has thermostatic

control and a single lever for flow andtemperature. It has a maximum temperature stop

for added safety and a diverter for the handheldshower. It is designed for high pressure systems.

Left: Mira’s Discovery & Diverter consists of theDiscovery in wall thermostatic mixer shower with newdiverter technology that allows the user to switchbetween outlets and is compatible with a range of Mirashower and bath fittings. The fittings enable theconsumer to customise the shower area by using thevalve with a combination of different style andperformance elements.

Combiningthe classic styling of yesteryearwith the latest showeringtechnology and performance, theRealm ER (exposed rigid) showeris a retro classic that has beenfurther refined. The new modelnow has a luxurious and muchlarger 21cm deluge head that hasa single mode and rub cleannozzles. The ERD model has adiverter that can switch to aseparate 8cm single modehandset so the user can choosefrom handset, deluge head or thetwo together. Diverter heads arevery useful for children and forhair washing.

Left: The new Element SLT is the most advanced single lever thermostatic shower on the marketand takes of a unique patent pending Mira design. It is a premium addition to the existingElement range of single control sequential showers that bridges the gap between singlesequential control and dual control thermostatic mixer valves with a single lever control for bothflow and temperature. The control uses Lift and Twist technology – an intuitive design similar toa monobloc basin mixer.

The Lift and Twist technology incorporates a two stage flow control with mid Eco settingthat gives the option of saving up to 30 percent of water used. It also features thermostatictemperature control with a soft override function that gives the user subtle feedback whenmoving into the upper temperatures. Backed by a five year guarantee, the Element SLT comes inthree models – the EV, BIV and BIR. The latter has a massive 18cm single mode head.

Below: The Minilite Eco combines the company’s compact Minilite with the efficiency benefitsof a six litres per minute flow regulator while the Miniduo is united with the innovative Ecoshowerhead. Both the valves are half the size of standard models without any compromise inshower performance, are thermostatic and come in both chrome built in and exposed formats.The Minilite Eco has a simple, single sequential control and is complete with a Mira fittings kit.

The unique design of the Eco showerhead reduces the amount of water normally used byup to 75 percent (compared to a standard Logic showerhead at 0.5 bar). The technology usesthe Venturi principle by which air is introduced into the flow. Mixing air with the water spraycreates larger droplets filled with air bubbles. The droplets explode on impact and producesimilar coverage to conventional, finer sprays while giving the impression of an increased volumeof water.

Caesarstone products inspire designers to create an atmosphere of relaxation and serenity in anybathroom or spa.

Caesarstone is a beautiful engineered

quartz stone which contains

approximately 93 percent natural quartz.

Practical, durable and attractive, it offers

significant advantages over natural stone

and other surfacing materials, due to its

superior strength and quality.

Caesarstone quartz surfaces are designed to offer a practical, hygienic and environmentally friendly solution for use in moist,humid surroundings. The non porous nature of the material makes it resistant to water and thus to the formation of mould,mildew and bacteria – perfect for bathrooms, wet rooms, spas, saunas, etc.

Eco friendly Caesarstone quartz surfaces never needto be sealed and require minimum maintenance to

keep them looking like new. The hard, impenetrablesurface makes cleaning simple and in most casessoap and water or a mild detergent are all that isneeded to clean the top and maintain its lustre.

Minimal maintenance means minimum eco damage– an important factor in preserving the environment

and in green building projects.

Caesarstone wall surfaces are 13mm thick and can bemounted as full wall slabs. Unlike the installation of walltiles, full Caesarstone slabs are installed with almost nospaces, cutting down on the use of bonding andsealing materials. This simplifies the installation processand minimises the need to periodically replace wornmaterials.
