BATHS, BASINS & WC’S
Every Square Foot Counts… T
Comment by Julie Lockwood VC Product Manager, PJH
he UK builds the smallest homes in Europe, so it’s not surprising that compact bathroom products are so popular. Added to this is the trend to convert spaces into new bathrooms and the rise in multi-generational living - which all influence the need for innovative space-saving bathroom design. Making the most of bathroom space has pushed design to its limits as the pressure mounts on manufacturers to create product that is not only attractive but also space conscious and still technically viable as a product fit for purpose. This has motivated the industry to design sleek but workable solutions that offer benefits beyond the norm. More research is going into creating products which are more ‘problem solvers’, especially when considering the conversion of loft spaces and under-stairs cloakrooms.
Performance on compact sanitaryware such as small basins (up to 450mm), short projection
WCs and those which provide the illusion of space has remained consistent, whilst sales on short projection pans, cloakroom basins and wall hung pans has really taken off.
Technical advancements on sanitary product design has continued to evolve, from pans which incorporate the cistern element around the walls of the cistern, to the shallow concealed cistern (ultra-slim) which measures a very low depth of 90mm.
The trend for multipurpose yet attractive bathroom products will be the winning combination to tackle the en-suite and cloakroom markets. Pressure will be on designers to eliminate redundant space within products and replace it with user-friendly, accessible products. Research continues on designing products which are flexible enough to offer a practical solution to what previously could have been a bespoke requirement, as well further exploration into reflective materials that will in turn make a smaller bathroom instantly appear larger.

he current Bathrooms to Love Collection from PJH now includes an extended range of space-saving sanitaryware within the design-led CEDARWOOD bathroom suite. Curvaceous and slimline, the Cedarwood ceramic designs optimise space and are perfect for compact bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites.

depth), short projection WC’s and corner solutions.
The range of basins includes a corner cloakroom basin with bottle trap (450x450mm), a cloakroom basin with just a 320mm depth, a semi-recessed basin with a 400mm depth and a standard basin with full pedestal (560x450mm). Two WC designs include a back-to-wall model with short projection of just 495mm and a close coupled model at 600mm – both featuring a finely designed slim seat with soft close action that lifts off for easy cleaning.
