CLOAKROOMS & EN-SUITES
Comment by Margaret Talbot Marketing Manager, VitrA
cloakroom with enough space to allow access for a disabled person in a wheelchair was good news for the bathroom industry. It meant that manufacturers invested more time and effort in designing compact sanitaryware and furniture to suit limited space. For existing homes, many homeowners recognise the benefits of a downstairs toilet and will consider extending to find the space. Most new homes include at least one en suite – and it is evident from tv property shows that this is a facility people value and are prepared to sacrifice bedroom or storage space to create. As the cloakroom is an area most likely to be

wall-hung WC and vanity or console adds personality and interest to the room. Wall-hung WCs with a good looking dual-flush flush plate add to the feeling of space, save water and make cleaning easy. Adding a WC to an existing smallish space can be a challenge without a thoughtfully designed in-wall system. The best are those that combine easy installation and access to the cistern with efficient, water-saving flushing technology – lookout for those in-wall systems that offer double fixation for the highest quality installation. VitrA’s in-wall collection also includes a reduced height model for under a window to make the most of the space. A compact wall-hung vanity with basin combination, with smaller format basin mixer also makes the most of available space and adds a stylish statement. To inspire consumers, VitrA retailers often display products in small cloakroom sized displays – by doing so, the customer can see at a glance how the products might work to create a beautiful space in their own home.
WCs for ensuites and cloakrooms made easy with Vitrus from VitrA
V
itrA has pioneered easy, fuss-free installation for wall-hung
sanitaryware with its extensive range of
in-wall frames. Part of the company's line up of in-wall frames is the Vitrus glass concealed cistern, an elegant casing-
control panel combination that means wall-hung, or back to wall WCs can be retrofitted, and new installations can be made without the need for a false wall, making it ideal for ensuites and cloakrooms. The Vitrus system uses dual- flush control, offering users the option of a 3/6 litre of 2.5/4 litre flush, which is perfect for those looking for maximum water efficiency. Available in all VitrA collections, Vitrus
comprises an in-wall-frame and cistern within a slimline glass case that seamlessly combines a modern dual-flush plate. The pan is attached to the casing, which can be fixed to most types of wall. Available in either opaque white or opaque black, shatterproof glass, Vitrus has been designed with a large cover opening so that the cistern is easily accessible for maintenance. “Vitrus solves a lot of installation problems, not
just for those who want to upgrade to a wall- hung WC or shower WC but also in new installations,” says Marketing Manager Margaret Talbot. “Either black or white glass makes a striking stand-out addition to all bathroom settings; it works well with white or black sanitaryware, and the fitting can be used with all of our wall-hung and back-to-wall pans."
