Bathrooms to Love by PJH

PJH launches its latest collection of bathrooms in April 2018, Bathrooms to Love (Issue 12), beautifully showcased in a new 300-page lifestyle brochure. Featuring a range of new products, the aspirational collection offers a designled choice of all the ingredients required to create a spa-inspired bathroom. Bathroom furniture remains a key sector so the new Lucia and Alba ranges (pictured) have been added to the growing furniture collection. The sophisticated floor-standing Lucia 08 designerkbmag.co.uk

perfectly blends the old with the new, presenting a versatile textured wood grain finish, available in two shades, with a modern ‘tea tray’ style door. Meanwhile the contemporary Alba fitted furniture range features a slab door available in three finishes with a choice of handles. Joining PJH’s growing Rimless WC range is the new Tilia. The Tilia Rimless suite boasts a fine square design, with ultra thin edges and a soft finish and is a stunning addition to the ceramic collection.

demista™

You don’t need to be Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes to solve the problem of steamed up mirrors in the bathroom. The solution is elementary! Install demista™ heated mirror pads and the steam vanishes almost immediately. These pads are easy to fit behind the mirrors, are wired in to the electrical system and no more wiping away steam or trying to peer through a mist, no matter how steamed up the bathroom. For this reason demista™ is the first choice for builders, developers and 22 designerkbmag.co.uk

home owners both in the UK and abroad. Leading hotel groups and prestige apartment developments now include the pads as the norm in either new build or refurbishment projects. Private home owners when updating their bathrooms are choosing heated mirror pads. Running costs are minimal and the pads meet all the required standards for safety, require no maintenance and have a proven record for reliability and durability.
