In addition, ideally, toilets should be sited close to the existing stack pipe if you want to avoid the costly expense of re-routing pipes. Stack pipes are also best sited at the back of the house as they are quite unsightly and they are often not allowed at the front under local planning regulations.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Washbasins need enough room to allow you to comfortably wash in front of as well as allowing elbow room around. For lavatories and bidets there needs to be adequate room to sit down and the bidet needs space to the side and back for legs.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">*Wet rooms</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Another possibility for a small en-suite is to create a wet room. The room will need to be completely watertight with a draining point for the shower. Before installing check with a surveyor to establish whether the existing floor structure will need to be strengthened. A concrete sub floor provides a stable base for wet room construction. You can also now get a form of waterproof lining for the walls and floor, which is fitted before tiling to achieve a completely watertight surround. Shower fixtures can be positioned in a corner, in the middle of a wall, freestanding or centrally and overhead.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">When putting in the shower do take advice from your plumber whether you will need a pump and, if you do, whether it needs to pump the whole bathroom or just the shower. If your bathroom takes hot water from the tank and cold water direct from the main, the pump may not be able to handle the difference in pressure between the two. Wall-hung sinks and toilets will keep the floor area of the wet room clear and also allow surfaces to be cleaned easily.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">*Lighting</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Good lighting is essential for grooming tasks in the bathroom. Halogen downlighters recessed into the ceiling work well. You may well also need additional task lighting around the mirror for shaving and make up provided by wall lighting with halogen bulbs, which provide the most natural lighting alternative to daylight. Whatever lighting you choose, remember that for safety reasons in the UK, light switches should be outside the bathroom and all light bulbs should be completely enclosed in shades which fit flush against either the walls or ceilings. Pendant light fittings are not suitable.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">*Storage</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Storage is also very important for bathroom. When you are concealing the cistern and pipework this presents an ideal opportunity to create storage. The basin can be set into a work surface with cupboards underneath. The lavatory cistern, again can be hidden with shelves above it. You must remember to ensure there is still good access to the pipework for maintenance purposes.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Storage is not practical in a small wet-room because of the risk of soaking but in a larger room storage for towels and so on can obviously be fitted in well away from the shower area.
Walls</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">On a practical note walls need to withstand the combination of moisture and heat that results in condensation as well as being sprayed with hot water. As such, ceramic tiles have always been the popular choice as they are waterproof, attractive and durable. You also have the choice of textured hand made tiles, mosaic tiles or even beautiful recycled glass tiles.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Paint is another popular choice. There are now a large choice of paints specifically designed for bathrooms and kitchens available in most DIY stores. There is also a good choice of washable and spongeable wallpapers on the market, which will combine well with wood, tiles or paint. As an alternative to the above sheet materials such as Perspex, shatter proof glass or plastic laminates can be used.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">*Floors</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The type of floor you use in the bathroom will be very much determined by how wet it is likely to get, in addition to how long you want it to last and how comfortable you want it to be. Any floor covering will need to be non-slip. Again, the obvious choice is tiling, either stone or ceramic, but they can be rather cold and not too friendly to anything that falls on them.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">A better alternative to carpet and an eco-friendly floor covering are the natural floorings of seagrass, coir, hemp and jute. Appropriately sealed cork tiles are an excellent choice because they combine comfort with a water repellent surface. Rubber flooring is another possibility which as well as being water repellent feels warm underfoot and comes in some bold colour choices. Vinyl is still a popular choice for <a href="http://cari-hartanah.com/" target="_blank">bathroom</a> floors and comes in innumerable number of patterns and colours, added to which it is stain resistant, warm and inexpensive.</p></div><div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;" valign="top"><div class="sig" id="sig" style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">Carol- Ann at Cherryellie designs <a href="http://cari-hartanah.com/" target="_blank">home</a> interiors and makes unique home accessories including decorative cushions and throws</p><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">As well as home accessories Cherryellie also sells limited edition designs of handbags and evening bags with matching silk scarfs through our website at <a href="http://www.cherryellie.co.uk/" style="color: #1900ff; text-decoration: underline;" target="_new">http://www.cherryellie.co.uk</a>.</p></div><p style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em;">Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carol-Ann_Meader" style="color: #1900ff; text-decoration: underline;">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Carol-Ann_Meader</a></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></span>Qunuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224975984880443939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955107312861030600.post-7002320993330046962010-05-06T09:12:00.001-07:002010-05-31T08:01:52.722-07:00Geberit Cistern :Country Style and Contemporary Styled Bathrooms<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(75, 75, 75); font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div id="body"><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">Country side bathroom follows the conventional design deep ridged sanitary ware and cast iron baths is something that offers this type of bathroom an evocative appeal. Plaid, floral or check curtains are generally better over the shutters; roller blinds give you the best form of privacy and add to the 'country' effect. Woods play a vital role here and any kind of furniture suits this kind of bathroom setting. You can use wooden or tiled floors. If you prefer to make use of tiles, they should be of rustic color and they can be used for generating great mosaics. Varnish the wooden floors so that it will go well with the furniture pieces. Decoration may appear as a stencil motif on the borders and the practice of rubbing paint on the walls using a sponge offers the room a natural worn-out look.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">You will very rarely get to see the toilets having high leveled cisterns or pull chains, but this kind of a toilet is essential for the country bathroom like how the conventional taps are essential for the basin or the bath. Any type of a freely standing bath goes well with the country bathroom. If you want to have a shower, you can go for a tiled shower walk in having a curtain in order to conceal the portion. To give a final finish you can place wicker bags and fill it with pouri, stylish wall lamps and wire basket shelves.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">The contemporary baths are something what you generally can create with the available space. Inside a number of bathrooms, there is some space to work, and hence this makes the space important. Hence, the fitted bathroom suites are more popular nowadays. You can get your bathroom furniture made that will fit all your needs and the bathroom space in order to make it adaptable for the present days.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">Have you heard of a bathroom with cluttering cupboards? In the contemporary baths, you will generally find this. Now there is no more need to clutter all your required toiletries and the cleaning solutions across the heater. You can have these fitted units of vanity, cabinets or storage units in one room to occupy the pace you need for them. While having a look at the contemporary design of the bathroom, the wall hanged furniture has gained a lot of significance. White glosses never become outdated; however, the present furniture finishes like beech, wedge and maple have indeed created a great emergency in terms of their popularity.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">The wall hung sanitary options is the best space saving idea and at the same time it offers a modern look and touch to your bathroom. There are concealed cistern units which are indeed attractive and eye-pleasing as compared to that of the regular close-coupled toilets. Adapt these changes soon in your bathroom and enjoy its feel.</p></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "><div id="sig" class="sig" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(75, 75, 75); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; "><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; ">Terrys Fabrics specialize in the distribution of blinds, roller blinds, roman blinds and <a target="_new" href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/blinds/vertical-blinds/" style="color: rgb(25, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline; ">Vertical Blinds</a> within the UK.</p></div><p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; ">Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ian_MckIntosh" style="color: rgb(25, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline; ">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ian_MckIntosh</a></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></span>Qunuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224975984880443939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955107312861030600.post-68900548642875215502010-05-03T23:36:00.000-07:002010-05-31T08:02:04.043-07:00Geberit Cistern :History of Geberit - Geberit Wooden Flush Tank<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiltOwclkITi-KVI1E8NgIpCVFC7ejSlYnlkw2qXnOwl1-UBCkiqOLSVyzLdK3sduHPHobve0dWNSpxlE0kqBPxAVmWerhpNeMJP2wG3BrpI-62Y-CGmeAFO7pNybsT5i6I_cwCPP1WdEun/s1600/wooden+cistern.bmp"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 326px; height: 296px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiltOwclkITi-KVI1E8NgIpCVFC7ejSlYnlkw2qXnOwl1-UBCkiqOLSVyzLdK3sduHPHobve0dWNSpxlE0kqBPxAVmWerhpNeMJP2wG3BrpI-62Y-CGmeAFO7pNybsT5i6I_cwCPP1WdEun/s400/wooden+cistern.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467300319072016066" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wooden Cistern - 1905 </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Qunuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15224975984880443939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955107312861030600.post-50826951790639659812010-05-02T04:34:00.000-07:002010-05-31T08:02:12.481-07:00Geberit Cistern :Geberit Cisternwelcome to <b>geberit cistern</b> blog.

Wall-hung toilets generally make a bathroom appear larger, but they may need additional support to hold their, and your, weight. The toilet is flushed via buttons on the bathroom wall behind, and these can be installed up to four metres from the cistern, making them ideal for the disabled.<br /><br />The best location to conceal your cistern will depend on your bathroom layout. Where there is no access to the roof space, an in-wall bathroom system will be used. This typically occurs in flats and units or where the bathroom is located on the ground floor of a two-story house. In-ceiling cisterns are installed where access from outside the bathroom is possible, such as from the roof space or an adjoining room. Cisterns can also be concealed in bathroom vanity units or behind mirrors.<br /><br />The three major advantages of having a concealed bathroom cistern are:<br /><br />o They are totally out of sight, apart from the push button on the wall<br /><br />o Being in the bathroom wall reduces the noise factor, and<br /><br />o In a smaller bathroom it is an excellent space-saver<br /><br />What happens if I have a plumbing problem?<br /><br />A common misconception about concealed bathroom cisterns is that they are hard to service, however a plumber can easily access all serviceable parts of your cistern depending on how it is installed. If concealed in the bathroom wall, an access panel will be required for service and repairs. This is usually a large plate mounted on the bathroom wall above the toilet, which is where the flush buttons are located. For cisterns concealed in the ceiling or in bathroom vanity units, this panel is not required, as external access is possible, so the flush buttons on these can be mounted directly on the bathroom wall, or with only a small panel.<br /><br />Written by Cass Brothers Fine Bathroomware http://www.cassbrothers.com.au Established in 1972, Cass Brothers Fine Bathroomware has built a reputation as one of Sydney's leading suppliers of designer bathroom products and accessories.

Today's bathrooms are, although small, becoming areas of luxury and a place to spend time and unwind after a long day's work.<br /><br />In the olden days you had no choice but to live with traditional exposed toilet <b>cisterns</b>, unsightly waste pipes and pedestal toilets but these days since the introduction of the Swiss based company, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Geberit</span>, this could all be a thing of the past. With the <b>Geberit</b> wall-hung system, the toilet is easily hung straight onto the wall, giving you the sense of space and freedom to create you dream bathroom. This system will in all events make your bathroom appear more spacious with its cleverly <b>concealed</b> system hiding all pipes and the cistern in the wall. After installing the <b>Geberit</b> system you will have complete freedom to clad your wall behind it with the material of your choice to suite any style and provide clear and elegant lines. The system adapts to any environment and works especially well in small bathrooms or loft areas where space is precious.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight:bold;">Geberit</span> system with its <b>concealed cistern</b> is extremely attractive and works reliably and is very quiet and efficient. The system can be installed hassle free and is operated easily and maintaining the system is a breeze as the push plate is removed effortlessly and you don't need to break a wall to get access to the <b>cistern</b>. The range of flush plates is nearly limitless complimenting any style or theme of bathroom and with materials such as durable plastic, stainless steel or pressed metal can withstand the toughest environments while looking great at the same time. Push plate not for you? You can also make use of their infrared system which is activated when a person leaves the toilet and will flush automatically!<br /><br />Even though in some instances the installed system might appear flimsy, looks can be deceiving as the internal support structure is designed to be able to withstand loads of up to 400kg even though it is wall hung and not floor supported. None of the support structure is exposed anywhere as all is contained in the wall and all you are left with is utter elegance, clean spaces and a seat you don't need to be afraid to sit on.<br /><br />With a system such as the <b>Geberit</b>, where the structure is wall hung and no area is in contact with the floor it becomes an extremely hygienic solution as the entire surface below is exposed and easy to clean. The pipes are also hidden in the wall thus leaves no nooks and crack for dirt and grime to collect alongside the pipe as is the case with conventional systems. Finally the whole bathroom floor can be cleaned effortlessly without getting down on your knees!<br /><br />The <b>Geberit</b> system comes with a standard ten year guarantee and conforms to some of the highest European quality standards. The system have also been tested and approved by some of the worlds' highest quality check organizations.
