oday’s customer wants more for their money – style, substance and those special extra features that can make all the difference to their bathroom experience. When it comes to mirrors and mirrored cabinets, eye-catching design is, of course, a top priority. But what should retailers look for when it comes to products which go the extra mile? Ash Chilver, sales director at HiB, shares three factors which can up the wow-factor.
T Proximity sensors
Comment by Ash Chilver Sales Director, HiB
Whilst proximity technology has been around for a while, it is only in the last year or so that it has really taken hold in the bathroom sector. Motion sensitive, a proximity sensor activates key features of a product when approached, for an intuitive, yet unobtrusive, experience.
USB charging
According to research, the majority of British people take their mobile device into the bathroom with them. With this in mind, the inclusion of USB charging ports can be a major selling point for a mirror or cabinet.
Colour temperature changing lighting Lighting makes a big difference to a bathroom, and can play a pivotal role in setting the mood. However, what is required from the space changes throughout the day, and according to the user’s mood. With this in mind, mirrors and cabinets which include colour temperature changing lighting are a fantastic recommendation. This technology allows the homeowner to adjust the tone of the lighting as needed, whether that’s a bright white light in the morning, or a softer, golden hue, in the evening.

evelopments in technology are causing the way consumers use their interior spaces to evolve.

With proximity sensor operated LED illumination and heated mirror pads, Vapor truly lights up the room in more ways than one – once it detects motion, the cabinet stays activated for

Truly elevating this bathroom centrepiece to a status of real modern innovation, Vapor is ideally suited to those seeking a mirror that will
