Bathroom refurbishment; Building products & services
“Choose the right shower cubicle and you will be able to deliver a quick fix without compromising on design or performance”
refurbishment and new build projects affordably and swiſtly, and in some
cases, add a bathroom space to an existing property. North View Housing in Scotland recently installed 13 shower cubicles to
upgrade bathrooms. Installer Jim Girdwood comments: “Tese units are very straightforward to install – we have a working, leak-free shower up and running in under half a day. I’ve fitted many of these now and they are really a great choice for these properties – with no tiling or grouting and no silicone required, they are practical and modern in style. With a single piece interior and the lightweight doors, it slots together very simply.” River Clyde Homes, also in Scotland, recently guaranteed that a showering
facility in a downstairs room in 13 new homes, which will be installed in the event of a tenant becoming immobile. Jim Tedford, Site Manager, comments: “Using pumps saved us digging the floors back up to install new water pipes that may – or may not – be used in future to take water waste from a shower. It was a good idea to add the infrastructure in case tenants need a downstairs shower due to immobility issues and plumbing in the pumps was very straightforward and cost-effective.” Contemporary shower cubicles not only look good, but they are highly
durable and need minimal maintenance. With no grout to discolour or unsightly silicone to maintain, the cubicles remain looking pristine for years. Models that feature an anti-limescale coating on the glass panels eliminate the issue of limescale build-up and watermarks, making them very easy to keep clean and tidy. European manufacturers can offer robust guarantees and designs with inclusivity in mind.
