What are the benefits of a thermostatic dual head bar mixer shower, and who is it best for?

A thermostatic dual head bar mixer keeps the water at a steady temperature and lets you run two outlets at once, typically a fixed head and a handset, so you get consistent, safe warmth and flexibility. You'll find options in chrome or black, round or square, and models with cool touch surfaces, handy for homes with children or elderly users. Prices range here at a lower to mid-range price point to the current product price, so you can pick a simple bar mixer or a higher‑end finish without a large jump in cost. If you want precise temperature control and the option to use a handset and head together, for rinsing the bath or quick handheld cleaning, a thermostatic dual head is a strong choice.

How do I choose the right shower screen for a bath with a shower over it?

First measure the length of your bath and the flat rim where the screen will sit; common screen widths in our range are 800mm, 1000mm, 1100mm and 1200mm. If you prefer a neat, space‑saving solution, folding multi‑panel screens come in 4mm glass and fold back when not in use, while 6mm glass options feel more solid and are better if you want a premium look. Finishes include chrome or matt black frames and curved or hinged styles, so match the screen to your tap and rail finishes for a cohesive look. For a standard 1700mm bath, a 1000–1200mm screen often gives enough coverage while keeping access easy.

Which vanity unit and basin size works best in a small cloakroom?

For a cloakroom you’ll be comfortable with a 400mm or 450mm vanity unit, such as the Artis 400mm freestanding or the Alpine 450mm freestanding, which give you storage without crowding the space. Pair a compact basin, like the 360 x 360mm Fluted countertop basin, with a slim basin mixer such as the Architeckt Osmo or Merano Fluted mixer to keep proportions balanced. White gloss finishes brighten a tight room, while anthracite or wood can add warmth if you have a little more depth. These combinations keep the room functional and tidy while still feeling stylish.

I have a narrow wall, which radiator will give good heat without taking up width?

Narrow vertical designer radiators are ideal; the DuraTherm Vertical Double Flat Panel at 1800 x 300mm gives substantial output while using only 300mm of wall width. If you want towel warming as well, heated towel radiators are available in compact sizes such as 750 x 450mm or 800 x 450mm in finishes like brushed brass or matt black. Column radiators in smaller footprints, 600 x 425mm, give a traditional look without needing wide wall space. Choose vertical if wall width is limited, and pick a finish that complements your taps and fittings.

Are waterproof wall panels a practical alternative to tiles, and what size and style options are offered?

Yes, waterproof wall panels are a practical alternative, they come in large formats such as the Starline matt Carrara marble panel at 2400 x 1000mm, so you can achieve a continuous marble look with far fewer joints than tiling. They're easier to wipe down and avoid grout lines, which reduces maintenance in shower and bath areas. Panels suit modern and classic schemes depending on the finish; a matt Carrara effect gives a luxury bathroom feel without the marble price. If you want a quick, low‑maintenance wall covering with a strong visual impact, a full‑height panel is a sensible choice.
