Flo-mate pumps from Stuart Turner are a simple way to boostincoming mains water without the need for a break tank. As

many residents of older mansion blocks in London know onlytoo well, getting a decent flow at peak times can be very

difficult. At times when mains pressure is insufficient, Flo-matewill deliver a minimum 1.5 bar at 12 litres a minute, meeting the

needs of most unvented boilers.Flo-mate has a built in bypass so when mains pressure

exceeds 1.5 bar, performance is not restricted and will enter thesystem. The pump starts automatically when a flow rate of one

litre per minute or more exists and it has been designed inaccordance with UK water regulations.

Flo-mate will be showcased at this year’s PHEX events butyou can also find out more at www.stuart-turner.co.uk. Itcomes with a two-year guarantee and is supported by Pump

Villeroy & Boch is one of manyprestige brands supplied by IdealBathrooms. Shown here is Loop.


There’s no doubt about it: times are tough in the

bathroom industry which has been hit by a triple

whammy of recession, a slow down in home

building and a shortage of mortgage funds that prevents

consumers from moving and improving. The recent

announcement that AW Andes is ceasing its distribution

operation to retail highlights the difficulties in trading

conditions.

“Distribution is a specialist arena,” says Ideal

Bathrooms’ Commercial Director Danielle Lillis. “That’s

why Ideal Bathrooms concentrates solely on this sector.

We supply retailers and merchants in the traditional route

to market and our success is down to exceptionally high

levels of customer service coupled with marketing

initiatives to help customers maximise market potential.

We do not sell on the internet but use modern

communication channels to promote sales and direct

potential buyers to our customers’ outlets.”

This exceptional service includes next day deliveries to

99 percent of the country including outlying areas, a huge

£6 million plus stockholding of over 15,000 different

product lines, a commitment to big brands, keen prices, a

delivery fleet of over 50 vehicles and an enthusiastic and

knowledgeable sales office and field sales teams.

The “An Ideal World” year-long promotion has also

been very popular with customers, with monthly VIP

prizes sponsored by key suppliers and instant win scratch

cards. VIP prizes include attendance at some fantastic

sporting events and imaginative, luxury holiday

weekends to destinations across the world. The latest VIP

prize winners in the “An Ideal World” promotion are

Michael Fuller of Gibbs and Dandy, Slough, who is now

looking forward to a trip to the famous Oktoberfest in

Munich sponsored by Grohe, and Kal Patel of Aqualite

Trading, Wembley who won a luxury weekend in Paris

courtesy of Saniflo.

A key feature of the campaign is to raise £20,000 for

the groups’ 2012 charity – Barnardo’s – with 25p

donated by Ideal Bathrooms for every delivery made of

each month’s sponsor’s products, together with proceeds

from a host of other charity activities organised by Ideal

Bathrooms’ staff.

Another innovation to assist retailers is the Ideal

Bathrooms premium brand strategy. “The premium

brand strategy is not confined to specialist top

showrooms either,” says Ideal Bathrooms’ Retail Sales

Director Richard Taylor. “Showrooms with a mid-market

customer base are also adding luxury displays to attract

new business potential as more people are improving

their homes, so working with our key brands we are also

broadening the market for them through this strategy.

Similarly mid to upper market brands are also

experiencing sale growth into the luxury sector as an

add-on to sales through existing showrooms. The

strategy is helping many of our existing suppliers

penetrate into new market sectors.”

“Ideal” Partnerfor Showerlux

In a major new amalgamation, Ideal

Bathrooms has secured an exclusive

distributorship for Showerlux branded

products in the UK. Although the UK

operating company has closed down,

the brand will now continue to be

available in the UK through Ideal

Bathrooms. “Following the

unfortunate closure of the Showerlux

UK operation, we entered into

negotiations with Duscholux who

manufactured almost all Showerlux’s

products that were sold in the UK,”

says Ideal Bathrooms’ Commercial

Director Danielle Lillis. “In effect Ideal

Bathrooms will now perform a similar

operation importing from the

manufacturer to supply merchants

and retailers. This reflects the current

trend for global sourcing – a key

feature of Ideal Bathrooms 2012 “An

Ideal World” campaign.”

A major element in the exclusive

distribution agreement will be a

comprehensive review of price points

and customer discounts which will be

completely realigned to be fully

competitive for the marketplace and

to offer improved margins for retailers.

The range will focus solely on shower

enclosures and will continue to offer

high quality and great design. It will

now benefit from Ideal Bathrooms’

renowned customer service including

next day deliveries which are available

on all Ideal Bathrooms’ 15,000 plus

stock product lines.

“I am delighted that Ideal Bathrooms

is able to keep the Showerlux name

alive and to have the opportunity to

develop it back to its former glory as a

big brand again,” adds Danielle. “The

enclosure arrangements fit perfectly

with our existing product portfolio

and particularly with our strategy to

grow the showering section of our

business. The Showerlux brand is in

safe hands for now and the future.”

Ideal Bathrooms offersnext day delivery to 99percent of the countrywith their delivery fleetof over 50 vehicles.

g gets tough

Showerlux products will now be availableexclusively from Ideal Bathrooms and will

be supplied by Duscholux.

Shown on our front cover, the innovative Verso range from Inta featuresenergy saving technology, making efficient use of hot water simple by forcingusers to consciously push further for an increased flow rate and hotter water.

The Verso basin mixer has already proven popular, thanks to its sleekdesign and impressive green credentials. The control handle gives the optionof a reduced flow rate, requiring users to lift past the first click for full flowoperation, with a maximum flow rate of five litres per minute. Users are alsoable to set a maximum temperature for the tap by altering the position of thecartridge stop ring, allowing for ultimate control over water and energysavings, ideal for both domestic and commercial settings.01889 272180www.intatec.co.uk

New for 2012, Krome showeraccessories from Deva include thisthree-mode shower kit. The head hasan air option, which mixes air andwater to deliver an invigorating butwater saving shower. Also availablewithin the range is a 200mm fixedshowerhead with a swivel joint andfull chrome face plate with rub cleannozzles. Deva has launched a new154-page brochure to show its newproducts.

Wall mounted electronic mixers show just how closely linked exclusive design, functionality and technologicalexpertise are at Axor. “We have developed an intelligent solution that combines sensor technology and our wallmixers’ exclusive design,” commented Axor product manager Stefanie Pfaff. The new electronic wall mixers are partof the Axor Citterio and Axor Uno2 collections. Electronic wall mixers in the two collections offer different designlanguages: in Axor Citterio we see shiny surfaces and precise, linear contours and in Axor Uno2 we see a minimalist,slimline design. Both have two spout lengths.

These ingenious mixers have sensor windows integrated into the underside of the spout. They cannot be seenby the user and do not impair the mixer’s visual appeal. At the same time, this is an extremely functional position forthe sensor, which can be intuitively operated - the sensor is automatically activated when users place their handsunder the spout. Electronic mixers are extremely hygienic due to their contact-free operation. Like all Axor basinmixers, the new electronic mixers are fitted with EcoSmart technology, which limits the water flow to five litres perminute without impairing the functionality. The sensor control itself saves even more water and energy due to theshort run-on time of around 1-1.5 seconds. This ensures that the water is only flowing if it is actually required.01372 465655www.hansgrohe.co.uk

Ideal Standard has a long pedigree of working with leadingEuropean designers to create exciting new brasswaredesigns. Great products from the past include Academy,Silver and many more. The company can also claim credit forthe single lever tap, being the first to introduce ceramic discvalves to the UK and also the first to develop a multi portcartridge that overcame the problems caused by UKunbalanced supply.

Bright nickel was the standard finish for brassware untilchrome plating came along in the 1920s. Softer thanchrome, nickel is a lovely choice for a traditional bathroom.Nickel plated taps from the St James Collection by Marflowhave a two-layer plating process that produces a hardwearingfinish and gives a lustrous shine.

Matki New Illusion Cornerwith Integrated Shower Tray.

Matki New Preference BespokeShower Tray with Cut-Out.


Matki has introduced the New Illusion Collection. The Collection

includes three impressive enclosures, a Recess door, Corner

enclosure and a Quintesse. The enclosures combine minimal framing

with elegant chrome details offering the beautiful illusion of showering behind

frameless glass.

The 8mm solid safety glass is cleverly held in place by Matki’s Non-Slip

Hinge supporting the glass time after time for a flawless closure. The beautiful

new handle is the perfect complement to the large glass panels. The Soft

Return handle is not only easy to use and functional, it provides a sense of

stunning continuity between hinge and handle.

The glass is innovatively recessed into the tray with a water tight seal,

eliminating the need for silicon sealant along the glass and tray junction and

providing a seamless look between glass and tray. The New Illusion Corner

and Recess comes with integral low level tray or alternatively can be ordered

to go directly on to a tiled floor or on a tray such as Matki’s new Preference

Shower Tray.

One of the main features of the new Matki Preference Shower Tray is its

complete adaptability and flexibility to fit into any space. Rich in ground

marble, the premium quality and technologically advanced material make-up

of the Matki Preference Shower Tray gives outstanding durability and a tough

fully restorable surface. The tactile semi-matt finish is comfortable, luxurious

and warm to the touch and blends beautifully into any bathroom design.

Sometimes, it’s the thingsyou don’t see that turn abathroom from ‘boring’

to ‘brilliant’...

Low water pressure is a daily source of irritation and inconvenience to countless people in the UK. It’s

a scourge and it prevents many from enjoying those benefits of a modern bathroom that the rest of

us take for granted. Until now, the ‘traditional’ low water pressure solution, which involves the

installation of a cold water header tank, was both too costly and too inconvenient an exercise for many

potential customers to consider…

The good news is that now, for the first time, an affordable solution to

the problem is available. Salamander’s Home Boost is not only

inexpensive, it’s also easy to install: it’s compact, quiet and – most

importantly – it’s fully compliant with UK water regulations.

As the first plumber to install Home Boost, Scarborough-based Andy

Browne was impressed immediately. “It really does have the look and feel

of quality about it”, he said, “and it’s got metal threaded ends so there’s

no plastic to mess about with. To be honest, it’s dead easy to connect:

Home Boost goes after your stop tap, you need a check valve on there,

then a drain-off cock onto the pump and finally a full bore isolation valve.

Any plumber could do the job in under an hour.”

Home Boost applies leading-edge micro-technology to an old, old

problem: it is quick, efficient and comparatively inexpensive. Home Boost

is a compact unit, which can be fitted under the kitchen sink after the

stopcock, with a simple three-quarter inch thread on the inlet and outlet

of the unit. The electrical connection is via a plug.


The Home Boost iscompact and doesnot need muchspace. It is alsoeasy to install.

switches to guarantee durability, reliability and performance.

Earlier this year, RAK launched a new range of products under

the RAKextra brand. The new, versatile collection is designed

to offer trade customers a collection of attractively priced

quality products with the potential for extra margin when

purchased in quantity.

The shower enclosure market is a competitive one - but

RAKextra is ready to tackle it head on with a well thought out

selection of products. Within the new collection, RAKextra shower

enclosures feature alongside bathroom cabinets, mirrors and

storage solutions. All products are designed to uphold RAK’s

established values - representing quality, reliability and exceptional

value for money. They have also been designed to complement RAK

Ceramic’s existing wide range of WCs, baths and basins.

The new shower enclosures feature in two ranges - Premium 6

and Deluxe 8. Premium 6 offers five cost-effective designs in various

sizes and formats, including quadrant, offset quadrant, pivot door

and side panel, sliding door and bath screen with 180° hinge. All

enclosures feature 6mm easy clean safety glass; robust, quick-release

easily detachable rollers and have up to 25mm adjustment for

accurate fitting. Doors glide effortlessly and the detachable rollers

enclosures. Additional features of the Deluxe

8 range include 8mm easy clean safety glass,

robust quick-release extra strong rollers,

reinforced frame and concealed fittings,

enhanced adjustment for accurate fitting

and a lifetime guarantee. A range of

complementary shower trays are also

available with each collection, as well as

easy-plumb and waste kits.

Alvin Biggs, Sales Director, RAK Ceramics

UK, comments: “By introducing two new

shower enclosure ranges to the market, we

are responding to increased consumer

demand for showers in the bathroom. This is

a growing trend, driven by increased

awareness of the water and energy savings

that showering can make. RAK Ceramics is

playing a key role in developing products

that meet the growing requirements of

consumers. We continue to support our

dealers by offering well-designed, desirable

products at highly competitive prices.“

Alongside the Premium 6 and Deluxe 8

shower enclosures, new mirrors, mirror

cabinets and smart storage solutions join the

RAKextra range. The Mirror Collection

includes nine designs. All are backlit and LED

mirrors have bevelled edges and demister

pads. Additional individual features include

shaver/toothbrush sockets, sensor on/off

switches, rocker switches and integral clock.

Nine new designs are also included within

the Mirror Cabinet Collection, with all

cabinets constructed from high quality

aluminium or stainless steel as standard,

providing both exceptional quality and value.

RAK’s new Smart Storage Collection

completes the RAKextra range. It includes a

variety of stylish and cost effective drawer

and hinged cabinets, with integral ceramic

basins, as well as matching slimline storage

units. All cabinets have a sleek, contemporary

design, a premium gloss acrylic finish and are

available in black or white.Rob Jull, RAK UK’s Managing Director,

explains the rationale behind the new

collection: “It’s not all about price, although

that’s one of the criteria for success,

especially in the current tough economic

climate. Good design is equally important,

as is the ability to source a complete boxed,

quality product, and to ensure reliability of

supply and performance. Add in good after-

sales support and continued product

development and you complete the circle.

Our aim has always been to offer our dealers

the very best value-for-money possible. Our

new shower enclosures and accessories -

along with our existing products - fulfil each

of these criteria at a range of price points to

suit all pockets. And, we’re confident that

this will provide a unique sales opportunity

for both our valued, existing partners and

for new customers too.”

Although just about every home

in Scandinavia has a sauna, the

idea has not really taken off here -

despite the therapeutic benefits.

Part of the reason is space -

especially in apartments where

there isn’t a garden or garage

where the cabin can be sited.

Duravit has solved the problem with Inipi, a compactsauna specially designed for home installation. Designed incollaboration with EOOS, the Inipi Super B compact saunameasures just 120 by 120cm and will accommodate oneuser in comfort. There is also a larger two-person modelthat measures 240 by 120cm. Inipi features a stone controlmotif - a cultural reference to North American Indians whosat around heated stones in their sweat lodges - or inipi.The panel is integrated laterally at the front of the saunaand is used to adjust the temperature, the heater timerand the digital hourglass. During the rest phase an ecofunction saves energy, reducing the temperature in thesauna by up to 20ºC. A button can be used to control thefunction that pours water over the hot stones.

The cabin itself is a wooden frame glazed at the front.None of the technology is visible as the sauna stones andheater are hidden behind a panel. The Super B compacthas an adjustable backrest and horizontal louvres with LEDlights. Benches are arranged on two levels and are longenough to lie down on in the larger model. The exterior isavailable in white or dark American walnut. Both saunavariants come as corner and back to wall models. Thelarger model can be installed freestanding in the centre ofa room. Duravit say that the saunas take about two hoursto install.

The Kaldewei Comfort Select operating panel has an electronic controlunit, a drain and overflow fitting and a shower hose. The panel integratesinto the rim of the bath and allows precise selection of the required watertemperature. The temperature is correct right from the start - there is no

need to run the filler for a while.The panel also regulates thewater inlet and outflow.Freestanding baths can befilled using a special KaldeweiComfort Select fitting. Thepanel also electronicallycontrols the shower function.The hose can be sunk into therim of the bath or fitted tothe outside.01480 498053www.kaldewei.com
