Shower trays and bathroom furniture are just some of the ways in which you can start enjoying your new bathroom. Bathroom furniture has been a huge hit over the past few years as manufacturers are producing more compact and stylish units to resolve any bathroom storage issues. Bathroom furniture is made to withstand the hot and humid bathroom temperatures and obviously provide the added storage needed in a busy bathroom area. Red is one colour which really provides the unique statement your bathroom craves. The striking colour adds drama to any bland bathroom area. Red shower trays are also available to match so you can co ordinate the whole design. Larger bathrooms can benefit from darker tones such as walnut or black. These colour finishes are stylish and more masculine colour choices.

Whether it is floor standing or wall mounted there are so many sizes of bathroom furniture to choose from. Wall mounted furniture is great for people who prefer a clear and spacious layout. The wall mounted bathroom furniture will create easy cleaning and give the illusion of extra space. Freestanding units are popular as they can be installed together and combined to create the suitable sized unit width. The beauty about bathroom furniture from most manufacturers we here at Click Bathrooms deal with, this is that the units come supplied pre assembled. This is especially helpful when you are in a rush to install and finish the bathroom, the fitter can start installing the furniture immediately after delivery.

Many people are staying in their homes longer than ever before due to financial restraints. It is therefore essential that living spaces in particular the bathroom is designed to accommodate these requirements and needs.

At the same time people do not want their bathroom to look like it is designed for the “older person”. There definitely needs to be a balance of both practicality and style in the bathroom. The good news is that in today’s manufacturing it is highly achievable and everyday people across the UK are transforming areas of their homes into sophisticated spaces which aid mobility for later years.

If you are not yet in the need of an easy accessible bathroom then this is fine, however it is important to think about the future of your home. If you are planning to stay in the house for longer then change the bathroom to suit your needs for the future and for today.

Adjustable showers are the thing that helps aid showering as they can be adjusted to suit various heights of the user. Mixer showers are great as they provide a powerful showering time. The valves are also great as they provide easy controls for all users.

Consider the storage needs in the bathroom; do you need added bathroom furniture? If you do the ideal solution is to find bathroom furniture pieces which are movable this makes it easier for navigation if more space is needed later down the line. Bathroom taps are also an important part of the design and lever handles are great for wet hands in the meantime and are also great for later on if you need practical handles.

If you are considering a complete bathroom remodel then take a look at how well you can make the space suit your needs. Do you use the bath often? If not consider changing it and replacing with a walk in shower. Walk in showers are great to provide easy access into the showering area and are flexible in the sizes available.

The toilet is one of the most important items in the household and is utilised daily. The style of the toilet is important however it is important to consider how well it flushes and the amount of water it uses.

In the eco friendly and water conscious environment we live in more people are opting for toilets which use less water but still provide a powerful flush. Manufacturing has advanced which results in significant improvements in terms of what the toilet can offer the user.  As bathrooms in the UK are generally smaller and more compact wall hung toilets are increasing in popularity.

Why are the wall hung toilet so popular? This is because they are wall hung and therefore create more bathroom floor space. The space below the wc is easy accessible which gives easy cleaning access. The wall hung wc is supported through a frame which is concealed behind a partition wall. This also gives a stylish and streamline finish to the bathroom. Due to the complete cistern not on show it gives the toilet a more illusive feel. Dual flush cisterns are all the rage at the moment offering a low and high flush volume to save water where possible.

There are added luxury additions to the toilet which you can look for, soft close toilet seats are a favourite especially in more modernised bathroom settings. Soft close seats will never slam when the person closes the lid; this is great for preventing damage to the toilet pan. This type of added luxury will help to create a practical toilet. The wall hung toilets can be installed at various heights to make it comfortable to use everyday.

Once you have chosen your wall hung toilet you will need to think about the rest of the bathroom suite. Usually wall hung basins will be used alongside the toilet again to save space overall. If not a basin with semi pedestal or full pedestal can be used depending on the style that you want.

Many people think that a bathroom MUST have a bath in it, but why? Just because bathroom has the word bath in it surely that’s not enough reason to have a bath in there if we don’t really use it? It’s not uncommon for people to completely get rid of their bath and replace it with a large luxurious showering area. With our lifestyles becoming as busy as they are people are struggling to find the time to relax and soak your worry’s away in the bath so they shower each day and bathing becomes a rarity. If you don’t use your bath much then why use the bath as a shower? You might as well replace the bath with a shower enclosure you can really enjoy.

As with any change there is always going to be advantages and disadvantages so let weigh them up so you can make an informed decision when updating your bathroom. We’ll start off with the advantages as everyone loves to hear the good news first. Baths are a fairly standard design with the odd exception such as shower baths or corner baths which leaves you little to choose from when it comes to the style of bath. Shower Enclosures on the other had have a massive variety of shapes and styles so every different enclosure can feel a little more personnel. Moving out the bath and replacing it with a shower enclosure frees up space in your bathroom making it much more spacious for anything else you’d like to add into the room. Baths also use a lot more water than showers so whether you’re thinking of the environment or thinking of your wallet you will feel the benefit from showers.

Ok so we’ve heard of the advantages so let’s hear about what could put us off from replacing our bath with a shower. The main one is the price, shower enclosures tend to be more expensive as you have to buy the shower enclosure and all the other parts that go with it, so the shower tray and the shower whether it’s an electric, digital or Mixer Showers. After a stressful day there is nothing better than running a hot bath and enjoying a long relaxing soak, so you might want to count the times you actually get to do this before you make the decision. One last thing to bear in mind is that not everyone will feel the same as you, if you’re thinking about selling your home in the next few years then it could cause problems with potential buyers.

Whether you choose to replace the bath with a large fancy shower enclosure or if you stick with your trusty old bath hopefully now you will be able to make a choice that is right for you and for whoever else you share your home with.

An offset quadrant shower enclosure offers a generous amount of showering space but with the advantage of corner installation therefore saving bathroom space. Offset quadrant shower enclosures are usually purchased by people who want to fill the space in the bathroom and like to have a roomy area to shower comfortably.

Offset quadrant shower enclosures come in a variety of sizes and are generously proportioned to accommodate for a wide selection of people to shower. The lengths vary from 900mm right up to 1200mm and the width varies as well from as little as 760mm, giving a versatile choice of sizes to suit a large variety of bathroom sizes.

When purchasing an offset quadrant they are available in both right and left hand options these will have to be chosen by the customers to suit their criteria. The common doors of an offset quadrant have sliding doors which smoothly open to either side. The double sliding doors create quite a large opening compared to some enclosure widths to entry and exit. This means that when exiting the shower enclosure there is no water on the floor which is a common issue with pivoting and outward opening shower doors. The doors also commonly have easy clean guides which can be pressed down and the doors will swing inwards. This enables the person to really get into the framework and seals to keep them clean.

Silver and white frames are available with a choice of glass finishes as well. The more popular option is silver frames with clear glass, ideal for modern bathroom settings. The other advantage is that the shower enclosures do not need a bespoke shower tray. They can be used with any shower tray which is suitable for the offset quadrant. This also means if you need to replace the tray later down the line then this can be done with minimum hassle.

So the main concept of an offset quadrant shower enclosure is to make the most of available bathroom space and still provide a large showering area. When investing in an offset quadrant enclosure you can get the best of both worlds.

Achieving a traditional bathroom suite style can be more difficult than purchasing a modern contemporary suite, believe it or not.

The first reason is that there is most definitely less choice as opposed to modern bathroom suites. Many modern new builds and home development projects prefer a more contemporary bathroom suite addition to fit in with the overall style of the property.

Traditional bathroom suites are used in properties where the owner is maybe looking for a timeless and elegant look. A traditional bathroom suite looks perfect in a cottage or Victorian style property, really inheriting the theme of the building. If designed correctly a traditional bathroom can also look exceptional in a more modern home, as long as the theme is captured correctly.
There are certain aspects of a traditional bathroom suite which are essential to achieve the design. The bathroom suite has to be more classical which means that patterns and intricate detailing will help. The basin usually stands on a traditional full pedestal and is nice and large for a spacious wash. The basin will usually have two tap holes as a single tap hole will give a more modern feel. Traditional basin taps with crosshead handles gives a Victorian tap finish. Gold was very much the colour to have in past years, nowadays gold bathroom taps are more difficult to source. Close coupled toilets are pretty standard choices and look well in a traditional bathroom design.

Freestanding baths are the most frequent and eye catching addition to any traditional bathroom. Roll top baths, as they are commonly referred too are stylish and capture the classic look of a bygone décor. The style of the baths create a very stylish and tranquil area of the home, a retreat where you can relax in luxury and comfort. Freestanding baths are available with and without legs depending on the look you want. The baths are available in many sizes and depths. The baths usually stand in the centre of the bathroom, as long as there is enough space. In smaller bathroom the bath may need to be put up against the wall which can work just as well.

Finish your bathroom with a few traditional bathroom accessories to compliment the overall look of the bathroom.

Living a busy lifestyle leaves little time for luxurious bathing, which means more and more of us are turning to showering each day and baths are becoming a rarity. Showering offers a whole range of benefits such as being kinder on the environment as less water is used as appose to baths. Showers are also much faster with the average Britain spending just eight minutes in the shower which is what many of us will wait for the bath to run. As we are beginning to use our showers more often large luxurious Shower Enclosures are now replacing the baths that used to be there.

By replacing the bath you will gain an enormous amount of space in your bathroom which will allow you to install a spacious showering area. There are many shapes and sizes which all can come with different doors so whatever your style or needs are you will always be able to find an enclosure for you. The shower enclosure always starts with the tray, as this is how big your enclosure will be, so first you must choose your tray. Square and rectangle trays are pretty self-explanatory your first measurement is where your door would be and then the second is where your panel would fit. Quadrants and offset quadrants are ideal for saving a little space, they have a curved edge that faces into the room so that less floor space is taken up.

Now you’ve decided on your tray then it’s time to choose your door style, all quadrant shower enclosures use sliding doors so you have little choice there, then with square and rectangle you can choose from a sliding enclosure, Bifold Showers enclosure or a hinged enclosure. If your door is going to be large then you might not want a hinged door as they open outwards into the bathroom. Shower enclosures in smaller sizes too, so if you have a larger bathroom and still want to keep your bath too then a Quadrant Shower Enclosures that fits neatly into the corner would be ideal for you.

Shower enclosures have a low visual impact as they are usually clear unlike baths that are solid acrylic or steel, most of the materials of a shower enclosure are transparent giving off the impression of more space. Shower enclosures feature toughened glass panels and have differences in the thickness ranging from four to six millimeters thick. The frames are chrome effect giving a sleek design for contemporary living.

The price of your shower enclosure will depend on many things, the brand, the materials and the size all contribute to the price of the enclosure. Click Bathrooms have a range of shower enclosures so whether you need a small or large enclosure you’ll be sure to find one to suit you.

The most exciting and satisfying element of supplying bathrooms is meeting everyone’s individual needs. Maybe you prefer to enjoy a refreshing and hassle free shower or would you rather indulge yourself in a long relaxing soak in the bath? For some people the decision is easy but what if you enjoy them both so much you don’t want to make a choice? Shower Baths are the perfect choice for people who adore bath’s but also give you that extra little space when showering.

Buying a shower bath does more than just combining your bath and shower into one, as well as offering you a larger showering space than a standard bath that features a shower, it also saves space as there is no longer the need for a separate showering enclosure. So whether you are tight on space or want to combine the two so you can add something else into your bathroom a shower bath will make a practical addition.

There are different styles of shower bath available ranging from square L shaped designs, Curved Baths that fit into a corner of the room and P Shaped Baths. All these styles turn one end of the bath into a semi-enclosed showering environment. If you’re really looking to get the largest showering area you can with a shower bath then the L shaped shower bath or the P shaped shower bath is what you will want. An L shape shower bath features a square edge that bring the bottom section of the bath to a wider end giving off a bigger area to shower in. P Shaped Baths offer the same as L shaped but feature a curved edge instead of a straight making the shower area fade in gradually. Curved baths are similar to P shaped but the curve runs the full length of the bath and fits more snug into the corner of the bathroom.

Making the rest of your bathroom suit a shower bath is relatively easy as long as you stay away from the more traditional items. There is a vast amount of contemporary styled basins, toilets and taps so you can’t go wrong as long as you stay with those. With the amazing range of shower baths that Click Bathrooms offer you will be sure to find a shower bath to suit you.

Let’s start with the fundamentals of buying a bath screen, the main reason for anyone purchasing a bath screen is the stylish and practical features it brings to the bathroom.

The bath screens are easy to install and really make a bathroom look tidy and neat. The bath screens are strong and highly durable. The reasons the bath screen are so durable are that they are made from toughened safety glass. The toughened glass ensures maximum performance and makes it the ideal bathroom addition. The seals on the bath screen keep the bath screen watertight so there is minimum chance of leakage. Silver and white frame finishes are all the rage at the moment to suit the shower enclosures. You can choose from square, radius, folding and other various bath screens to suit your bath. Folding bath screens are great if you want the full length of the bath to enter. The foldable bath screen is great for cleaning the bath too as it will move across to one side. The foldable bath screens have three four or five panels to suit your requirements. The rigid bath screens are great for coverage and to keep water splashes to a minimum. Some bath screens have towel rails which keeps them at a handy distance after bathing or showering. Shower curtains are used to add colour and contrast to a bathroom space. They are great to add interest into an otherwise bland bathroom area. Bath screens are available in various heights usually around 1500mm. If this height is not suitable then bespoke bath screens can be manufactured.

Bath screens that pivot inside and outside of the bath are also pretty useful especially in a busy bathroom environment. If you have a shower curtain then there are smaller bath screen panels which can be used as well creating a more watertight finish to the bath. You can totally enclose the bath if you wish by using a enclosed over bath screen. This will create a “shower enclosure” like feel but whilst you bathe. Bath screens are not expensive and start from as little as £69. This makes them an inexpensive way to update the bathroom, especially if the existing bath screen is looking tired and worn.

Baths are practical stylish and convenient for any bathroom, there are two types of baths to choose from both freestanding and built in baths. Each bath is preferred by some and not by others; each bath offers different qualities and features.

If we start with freestanding baths they are the most up to date and daring bath that you can feature in a modern bathroom. Whether it is a modern and elegant style bath that you want or a more traditional organic bath there are styles to suit your bathroom. Freestanding baths give a spa like retreat at the end of the day. Larger bathrooms really benefit from freestanding baths as they can offer the space that one of these magnificent baths deserves.

The baths range in size, depths and lengths. This results in them catering for children, the elderly, people who enjoy a deep bathing time or people who prefer their bath not as full as others. Freestanding baths have now been manufactured to cater for smaller bathroom so this is the reason why smaller bathrooms have now got a freestanding bath to showcase. Freestanding baths are usually made from cast iron giving them a highly durable bathing time. Freestanding baths can be floor mounted and also can have legs which raise the bath.  The bath taps to match can also suit the style of the bath from modern to traditional styles. Wall mounted taps look simplistic and stylish when used with a more contemporary bath. Floor mounted taps can be used with minimalist pipes again adding to the more luxurious feel that one of these baths offers. Freestanding baths are commonly seen in the centre of the bathroom. They can even be seen installed onto a platform giving them a real feature statement feel in the bathroom. Although we all love freestanding baths and the idea of them, they are usually more expensive than a standard bath. Due to the weight of the bath it is also important to check with a professional installer that your floor can take the weight of the bath.

Traditional baths is popular due to the price and availability of sizes. The baths are usually made from acrylic, which makes them less expensive to manufacturer. They are less of a hassle in terms of installation compared to freestanding baths. The pipe work can be quite tricky to install when using it with a freestanding bath which has a leg kit with it. You can choose from corner baths which are great for smaller bathrooms and shower baths which combine both a shower and bathing area in one package.

So it all comes down to what kind of statement you are trying to create and what the budget is. Always remember that the bath is an essential part of the bathroom so consider your options carefully and decide what is right for you and your bathroom.
