Bathroom Suites | SuiteBathrooms.co.uk

Bathrooms are now starting to receive similar treatment to kitchens, with many manufacturers producing custom-made fitted units for use with certain styles of sanitary ware.  This means that maximum use is made of the space available, and a streamlined look is given to the room.  For a softer finish to open shelves, add curtains which can be simply attached with narrow rails beneath a shelf or edge of a vanity unit.

Apart from the kitchen, the bathroom can be a most hazardous place and it is very important to bear this in mind when planning, decorating or using the bathroom.  A shiny, tiled or marble floor looks immaculate, but it is not always practical, so ensure that floor tiles are specially designed to have a non-slip surface.  The shower screens and glass doors must be shatterproof and mirrors securely fitted to the wall.  As water and electricity do not mix, one must adhere strictly to electrical regulations.  All electrical lights should be enclosed, to ensure that no moisture can penetrate and short-circuit the system, and light switches should be positioned outside the room or replaced with a special pull-cord system.  Never trail a connected electrical appliance, such as a hairdryer, into the bathroom.

As we frequently keep disinfectants and chemical cleaners in the bathroom, store them in a secure cupboard out of the reach of children, together with all medicines and probiotic products.  In a family bathroom, ensure there are no shelves above the bath that may encourage a curious child to climb.  Accessories such as toothbrush holders should be made of plastic and if small children or elderly people are using the bath, provide an anti-slip mat and rails.  Most importantly, never let a young child use a bathroom unattended.
