Bristan
Wave Digital Showers
The Bristan Wave digital shower range claims to provide functionality and aesthetic designs suited to customers who are keen to tap into the latest showering technology.
The Wave Single Outlet Touchpad and the WavePlus Dual Outlet Touchpad, for example, both feature a bespoke pause mode that allows users to stop their shower before soaping or shampooing. The feature then remembers the shower settings used previously and reintroduces them at the tap of the touchscreen.

Blanco
Classimo
The Classimo brushed stainless steel sink from Blanco has been developed to combine classic design with modern high quality features such as a concealed C-overflow and InFino drainage system with a flat, PushControl pop-up remote control button. The “performance classic” range comprises the single bowl 45 S-IF, the one and a half bowl 6 S-IF and the XL 6 S-IF which boasts an extra-large bowl.
Each sink features an IF flat edge for extra flush and overlying installation — which can be reversible too.

Neoperl
Mikado aerator
The Mikado aerator from Neoperl is a water-saving device which can be easily retrofitted to a bathroom tap and is said to reduce the flow of water to just over a litre a minute — a 65% saving on an average tap.
Its flow creates a grid-like spray pattern formed by individual water jets, and is said to be an appropriate solution for a cloakroom or bathroom where the bowl is rarely filled and is predominantly used for hand washing.

Saniflo
Kinemoon
Now in stock and available for delivery, the Kinemoon stone effect, textured shower tray is said to tap into the trend for natural stone-style shower trays whilst also doubling up as an effective anti-slip surface rated to PN24.
Available in five colours — white, anthracite, grey, black and sable — it also has three different patterned waste covers which are self-coloured to blend in with the tray. At just 26mm in height, the super flat tray is designed for easy access but can be supplied with an optional riser kit if extra height is required.
