limited by budget, leading to cheap, uninspiring fittings that compromise both aesthetics and functionality while presenting challenges
maintenance.
Where user experience is affected, care of the fittings may also suffer and further shorten the lifespan of the installation. The Horne Duŝo shower column offers a stylish alternative to typical group showers, which often use fixed heads, and exposed or recessed pipework. While ‘recessed’ setups look cleaner, they’re harder to maintain.
Surface installations can be unsightly, difficult to clean, and potentially risky where hot water pipes are exposed near the floor. The Duŝo combines the cost benefits of exposed installations but with more elegance and minimal visible pipework. With its sleek, slender design, the Duŝo features a polished chromium-plated head, brightly anodised aluminium body, and robust injection-moulded polymer spray-plate and actuator paddle. Available in aquamarine, grey, yellow, and black, the Duŝo complements interior designs aimed at creating an inviting and bright shower space. Designed for optimal user satisfaction, the
taller-than-average column, and easy-to-use paddle operation caters to both adults and children. The shower runs for approximately 60 seconds per actuation, reducing wear and preventing
user frustration. The coloured
spray plate and paddle can also indicate water temperature, for example denoting a separate cold temperature option, or to assist users with limited sight.
Constructed from robust and durable materials, the Duŝo is built to last, whether

Bathrooms_HPAdv.indd 1 Mapei Topcem features in upsized Primark Metrocentre
Fast-track Mapei Topcem has recently been installed as part of an extensive resilient fl ooring project at Primark Metrocentre in Gateshead. The expansion project, throughout the ground fl oor, included upsizing by over 14,100 ft2
. The Mapei installation was carried out by DPC Screeding for Knowles & Co, Chartered
Building Consultancy & Project Management. Mapei Topcem was specifi ed by Knowles & Co following a previous successful installation at a large retail store in Newcastle. The fl oor installation at Primark included vinyl and LVT tile, and Topcem enabled the resilient fl ooring to be laid after four days. A special fast drying hydraulic binder developed for high traffi c areas, Mapei Topcem is used to create bonded, unbonded and fl oating screeds. It can be utilised on new and existing concrete – and with piped underfl oor heating – and is suitable for ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone, vinyl, wood, PVC and carpet installations. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can be installed 24 hours after application and natural stone after two days. For more information about Mapei fl oor preparation products and other ranges, please get in touch.
