Your home installation system:

When you are deciding what style of shower you require, you need to determine the type of water heating system you have installed in your home. This will affect your choice of shower and the shower's performance. To identify the the type of system you have installed, there is a guide outlined below. You could ask a qualified installer or call our customer service department on 01405 818560. This will ensure you pick the correct shower and enjoy your showering experience to it's full potential.

Low pressure systems:

Gravity fed hot water systems:
The usual configuration consists of cold water storage tank in the loft and hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. This is the water supply traditionally installed in UK homes.

High pessure systems:
Instantaneous gas water system heater combi boiler: combination boilers are increasingly used in the UK , and wall or floor standing boiler heats the water as it is used.

Unvented systems:
Hot water is stored in a large cylinder under pressure. This system has no requirement for a cold water storage tank.

Different Shower Types:

Mixer:
Hot and cold water are combined in asingle mixer unit, ideal for homes with a plentiful supply of hot water, and are able to provide a higher flow rate than electric showers.
Compatible systems: Gravity fed, instantaneous gas water heater or combi boiler, and unvented.

Electric:
Cold water is supplied directly from mains supply, and is heated by passing over a heating element in the shower. This means that it is economical and unaffected by other household fittings.
Compatible systems: Gravity fed, instantaneous gas water heater or combi boiler, and unvented. These are supplied directly by cold mains feed.

Pumped Electric Feed:
These are needed when cold mains pressure is insufficient. An integral pump draws water from a cold water storage tank and boosts water through the electric heating element to provide an ecoomic shower.
Compatible systems: Gravity fed cold supply.

Shower Panel:
Hot and cold water is combined in a single mixer unit which requires a pumped pressurised system.
Compatible systems: Gravity fed hot (must be pumped and give a minimum of 2 bar pressure), instantaneous gas water heater or combi boiler, and unvented. (Note: Combi boilersand pumps must give a minimum of 2 bar performance)

By John Mulligan



Friday March 21 2008

Arklow-based bathroom products firm Qualceram Shires could be valued at as much as €25m if a preliminary approach made towards the company leads to an offer.

Releasing disappointing preliminary results for 2007 yesterday, Qualceram said it had received the approach from a third-party and stressed that no offer might ultimately be made.

Three directors at the firm, including chief executive John O'Loughlin, who own almost 40pc of the company between them, are not involved in the approach, which is understood to have been made by an industry player from outside the country. One name touted yesterday was American Standard, a supplier of kitchen and bathroom accessories.

However, sources were at a loss to pinpoint a potential interested party, pointing out that Qualceram has evolved into much more of a distributor than manufacturer, and as such it was difficult to ascertain where the appeal in the company might be. The firm has already disposed of its Arklow site for over €30m.

Qualceram said yesterday 2007 revenues fell 12pc to €90m, while operating profit for the year slumped €3m to €1.1m. It said annualised cost savings introduced since the start of 2008, and accrued for in 2007, amount to €3m.

Mr O'Loughlin said that management is confident Qualceram can weather the downturn and emerge as a "stronger group, positioned for growth".

Qualceram has been hammered by the slump in residential construction in Ireland, where it generates about 45pc of its sales. Most of the remainder comes from the UK.

One analyst said while the downturn in Qualceram's sales in the Republic were to be expected, the extent of the poor second-half performance in the UK was less anticipated.

Mr O'Loughlin, sales and marketing director John Byrne, and production and technical director Thomas Byrne, each own almost 14pc of Qualceram.

They could be in line for a payment of up to €3.5m each if an offer was secured at €1.13 per share, although such a figure could be impacted by a writedown of intangible assets.

The stock closed the day yesterday at €1, up just over 2pc.

Bathroom Advice From The BBC

Next to kitchens, bathrooms tend to be the most expensive rooms in a house to renovate, as they require specialised trade services such as plumbing, tiling, and electrical work. Even when buying a house or apartment that has already had a lick of paint and a few 'renovations' applied to bedrooms, hallways and living rooms, the kitchen and bathroom have probably been left untouched, or may not suit your discerning sense of taste and style.

This is a guide to doing a bathroom 'on the cheap' without it looking cheap.

Step One: Avoiding Major Costs

Take a good look at your bathroom. You may not like where the bath is, or wish the shower was just 'a couple of inches to the left'. Take a deep breath and toss away any grand plans to move any of these fixtures (toilet, bidet, basin, bath and shower), as the biggest budget-buster in a bathroom renovation is plumbing work.

Unless your layout is absolutely and completely unlivable (which is a matter of opinion), ditch any ideas of moving anything that's connected to water or waste pipes.

The second way to keep those costs down is adhering to the 'KISS' principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!).

For example, options for daggy or dark tiles include buying tiles and hiring a tiler (expensive) or choosing a product to paint over the tiles to give them a fresh look. If your budget is already straining under a mortgage, it is advisable to choose the latter.

A product called Tub 'n' Tile does this job nicely, consisting of a two part epoxy resin that simply gets painted over tiles to produce a brilliant, porcelain finish. The only drawback is it currently only comes in two colours: white or vanilla. This limits decor choices, but also helps in sticking to the KISS principle.

Similarly, replacing unsightly floor tiles, which cannot be painted with the epoxy resin and require heavier tiles than walls, is another budget blow out. Consider taking the option of laying down bathroom carpet, which is rubber-backed and made from nylon. This works when the shower has a screen that prevents water splashing over the floor and making the carpet soggy. If this does not apply, perhaps making room in the budget for good quality floor tiles may be the only option.

Step Two: Preparation

There is simply no good substitute for preparation when it comes to renovations. Unfortunately, this is the most tedious and thankless part of the process.

Unless you are an exemplary house cleaner, the bathroom will have a build-up of grime from soaps, body fats and other dirt in those hard-to-reach places.

Before considering painting or applying a product such as Tub 'n' Tile, it is essential to get rid of this build-up from any surfaces which are going to be revamped.

Preparation includes sugar soaping the walls and ceilings to be painted, bleaching any mould spots that have accumulated and sanding all surfaces to be rejuvenated.

Another area of preparation is covering any taps, pipes and cornices you don't want paint splashed over with easy-to-remove masking tape. Also removing any items to be replaced, such as cabinets, tapware, etc.

Also, wash down all surfaces to ensure they are free from dust before painting.

Step Three: Painting Surfaces

Measure wall surfaces in square metres/feet and consult your local paint distributor for the required amount of paint2. You will also need to measure the surface area of tiles to be covered, to determine how many packets of Tub 'n' Tile are needed - local variants may differ in instructions and quantities.

Start by painting the ceiling, then come down to the wall surfaces. Give both two coats of paint and allow to dry. This may take longer if the weather is humid or raining, as more time between coats may be necessary.

Applying the Tub 'n' Tile product will take much longer because each tile needs to be painted individually to achieve the best effect. But the result is worth it; the tiles (and bathtub/basin) will have a gleaming, pristine porcelain finish.

Step Four: Decorations

A stark white bathroom is all very well for minimalists, but some need a bit of colour in their life. Instead of replacing a row of tiles with feature border, consider purchasing tile transfers that you can simply place over tiles to act as decorative features.

Another idea to add colour to a bathroom is stenciling a border around the walls.

After applying the tile transfers, and while waiting for those to dry, cut the carpet to size leaving holes for pipes.

Laying bathroom carpet is simply a matter of laying it straight over the floor tiles. If you want it to be semi-permanent, double-sided tape takes care of this.

Step Five: Installing Accessories, Tapware and Extractor Fans

After waiting the required time for all surfaces to dry and seal, now comes the fun part: dressing up your bathroom. This includes installing any new cabinets, towel rails, soap holders and tapware you may have bought.

It may be possible to buy all the accessories from the same hardware supermarket as the paint and Tub 'n' Tile products. More and more of these are springing up everywhere, with competitive prices that reflect the growing trend in DIY.

Finally, if you do not already have an extractor fan (the absence of which would have contributed to any mould on ceilings and walls) it would be wise to purchase and install one now. Unless your country has restrictions on wiring up appliances like these, you may need to hire an electrician. Or perhaps you are lucky enough to have one in the family...

Bathroom Suite Replacement
Bathroom Suite replacement can be one of the best and most cost effective ways to add value to your property. Even the most grandiose bathrooms can still be affordable. The UK bathroom market has seen massive changes over the last few years. The decline of the UK manufacturing base has resulted in a shift towards manufacturing in the far east, with China now accounting for approximately 90% of the worlds bathroom production. When it comes to choosing your bathroom suite, we would advocate not to take into account the origin of the products. The important things are the styling and the quality of the products. As with most goods you will still have to pay more for luxury branding even though they are probably made by the same people in the same factories from the same materials. The cheap imports and competetive market forces have seen the price of UK bathroom suites reach an all time low. Traditional Bathrooms Limited and their subsiduary company Abstract Bathrooms source direct and sell direct to the end user.

Bathroom Budgets
Both new builds and bathroom suite replacement require careful planning. It is important to set a realistic budget and contingency plan. There are thousands of bathroom suppliers, products, styles to choose from all with differnet features and benefits. We advocate involving the plumber from the start of the project as they will be able to advise on the likely cost of the installation, be mindful that the plumber may want to do what's best from a plumbing point of view and regardless of the aesthetics of the bathroom. One of the generally accepted principles of bathroom design is that you don't relocate the toilet as to move the soil stack can be very labour intensive. There are design tools available for basic planning. Bathroom brochures and magazines are a great way of getting some ideas and inspiration. Once you have decided on your bathroom design the purchase of the bathroom suite is the easy part of the job. The important things to consider are the quality, length of warranty, availability and of course the cost. Traditional Bathrooms Limited and Abstract Bathrooms offer free bathroom brochure packs and expert impartial advice. If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us on 01405 818500.
