Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse Sets a New Benchmark for Air Quality Monitoring
Vent-Axia has unveiled the industry’s first dedicated continuous-running Decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) unit with an integrated indoor air quality sensor (IAQ). The Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse combines intelligent humidity control with advanced air quality sensing, which detects, measures, and helps clear the air of unwanted chemical pollutants, specifically total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). Delivering industry- leading performance, the dMEV unit is highly efficient, offers near- silent operation with independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4 dB(A), and an attractive, sleek circular design.
Designed for continuous operation in domestic wet rooms such as bathrooms, toilets, and utility areas, the dMEV delivers effective whole-house ventilation while remaining exceptionally quiet.
Balancing Beauty and Durability: Tile of Spain’s Guide to Shower Tiling
As bathrooms become wellbeing- focused spaces, the shower is now a key design feature rather than simply functional.
A brand-new control platform provides fully adjustable airflow, allowing whole-house ventilation rates to be achieved easily using fewer fans. Providing simple installation and quick
commissioning, an easy-to-use speed adjustment dial ensures operational speeds are met as required by Building Regulations.

According to Maria D Arráez, Director of Tile of Spain UK, choosing the right ceramic surface is essential to achieve both performance and style.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are ideal for showers due to their water resistance, durability and low maintenance. Modern manufacturing techniques allow realistic stone, marble and concrete effects, offering a premium aesthetic without the upkeep. Unlike natural stone, porcelain is non-porous, stain-resistant and requires no sealing, making it perfect for busy bathrooms.
Large-format tiles create seamless, spa-like schemes with fewer grout lines, while textured finishes, mosaics and bold colours add character. Careful layout and grout choices further enhance the overall look. Combining technical reliability with creative flexibility, today’s ceramic tiles enable architects and designers to craft shower spaces that are both practical and expressive.
