BATHROOMS & SHOWERS
Splashpanel’s new Narrow PVC bathroom wall panel option The Splashpanel range of PVC bathroom wall panelling from International Decorative Surfaces has been extended with a new 600mm panel width providing greater flexibility and ease of installation in bathrooms and especially compact spaces such as cloakrooms, en-suites and small shower rooms.
The new Splashpanel Narrow panels measure 600mm x 2400mm x 10mm and are lighter in weight than the standard panel sizes of 1000 and 1200mm. Installers benefit from them being very easy to lift, cut, handle and fit, especially when stairs or restricted spaces are involved.
Six decors are available, reflecting the most popular finishes on the main Splashpanel range. They are White Marble Matt, White Marble Gloss, White Gloss, Grey Mosaic Gloss, Linea Grey Gloss and White Sparkle Gloss. Splashpanel surfaces are hygienic, grout- free, mould-resistant, easy to clean, FR rated and backed by a 5-year domestic warranty. The Splashpanel system is 100% waterproof and offers a cost-effective alternative to tiling. Panels can be fixed over existing surfaces, including tiles, using simple joinery skills making refurbishment and renovation projects fast and easy to complete.

Essential Bathrooms’ Montana collection
Essential Bathrooms has added to its growing portfolio with a budget-friendly collection for small spaces. The Montanarange comprises 12 all-in-units, each combining a basin, storage and a flat surface, making it perfect for modern bathrooms and en-suites where space is at a premium.
Montana is available in two finishes; Painted White for an air of tranquillity, and Urban Grey, which draws on the industrial trend that continues to be big news in 2021. The range is available in widths of 1000, 1100 and 1200mm, with a left or right- handed design. All units can be personalised with the brand’s new collection of Francis Pegler by Essential brassware. Andrew Cotterill, category manager of Essential, said: “We felt there was a real gap in the market for high-quality, affordable units. Montana offers real innovation for the smaller bathroom market, as we know that many consumers are looking for a full complement of storage, handwashing capabilities and flat surface space, all on a conservative budget.”

Most taps will already include a flow control device at the end of the spout and it’s often only when in situ that one can identify whether the flow is too strong. Now the incumbent device can be easily removed and replaced with one that reduces the flow to a comfortable level. The same with showers, a valve shower often delivers far too much water and even a slight reduction adds up to a substantial water saving over the year. Regardless of the prevalent water pressure, a flow regulator maintains a consistent water stream at the chosen flow rate. A typical flow regulator consists of three components, a

All twelve showers in the range feature concealed valves – they are installed in the wall space behind attractive wall plates. The twelve variants include choices of adjustable handsets,
housing, a seating area and a precision-ring. The flow is determined by the interaction between the seating area and the o-ring. As water flows through the device at a higher or lower pressure, the shape of the o-ring changes to restrict or release the flow of water.
