Sleek and Chic – Inspiration for your New Kitchen

When planning a new kitchen, why not consider some upmarket appliances and plumbing ideas? There are some great, and slightly more unusual, appliances on the market today, such as specialist taps and fridges, which will really give your kitchen the wow factor.

Pull out kitchen taps with sprays

Fast becoming a cannot-live-without kitchen accessory, the pull out kitchen tap allows more manoeuvrability than a fixed spout tap, making it perfect for washing fruit and veg and cleaning awkward pots and pans. Some pull out taps also have added features such as extendable hoses and water flow controllability.

Boiling, filtered and carbonated water taps

Just as the names suggest, boiling, filtered and carbonated water is just a twist of a tap away. Taps which offer different types of water are a great way of disposing of counter-top appliances, leaving your kitchen looking clutter-free.

Integrated coffee makers

A must for every coffee connoisseur, integrated coffee machines can be incorporated into modern kitchen design and can be plumbed directly into the water supply – giving you frothy coffee at the touch of a button!

Ice-makers and water dispensers

If cold drinks are more your thing, why not think about having an American fridge with built in water dispenser and/or ice-maker plumbed in? Not only will this give you ice-cold drinking water at your finger tips, but they also offer great refrigerated storage space. Just one of the many plumbed-in appliances which can help to build the kitchen of your dreams!

Digital Showers – Welcome to Modern Technology in the Bathroom!

With their ability to deliver a constant temperature for the duration of your shower, digital showers are becoming increasingly popular choices in bathroom installation. However, temperature controllability isn’t their only benefit; here are just a few more reasons why a digital shower could be the shower of choice for you!

Digitally controlled temperature...

As the name suggests, digital showers are controlled digitally which means that the temperature is mapped and therefore remains constant throughout the duration of the shower. No more hot or cold bursts when someone turns the kitchen tap on! Most digital showers also offer a ‘warm up’ mode, meaning that you can step into the shower at the perfect temperature – and not a minute before!

....and digitally controlled flow!

The flow of the water can also be controlled digitally, either using a pre-programmable flow setting or the adjustable ‘easy-flow’, used to control the flow once in the shower. With high, medium and low flow settings, there’s a flow to suit every member of the family!

Eco-friendly

Many digital showers can be set with a maximum duration of shower length, thus making them a very eco-friendly option – and a wallet friendly option too, helping you to save on both water and electricity.

Remote control showering!

Although not normally associated with a shower, some digital showers even come with a remote control. Fancy switching on your en suite shower from your bedroom? Well, you can do exactly that with a digital shower!

Easy installation

All of this, and digital showers couldn’t be easier for a professional plumber to install, either. Compatible with a variety of boiler types, including combi boilers, an ‘exposed’ digital shower (whereby the pipes are cleverly concealed in the shower riser) can be installed in as little as two hours! Similarly, a ‘concealed’ digital shower – where just the controls and shower head are visible – is also a very simple installation, making them a brilliant option in bathroom design.
