Bathrooms to Love Brassware taps into bronze age

December 2, 2024

The new Autumn/Winter Collection from Bathrooms to Love by PJH has rolled out its new BRUSHED BRONZE theme throughout its portfolio, including a number of ranges within its brassware category.

Two popular bathroom brassware families, PESCARA and BERIO, are now available in the new Brushed Bronze finish. This elegant new colourway also refreshes a range of other Bathrooms to Love categories, including wetrooms, shower mixers, mirrors, bath screens, radiators, and even wastes.

Joining a growing choice of other on-trend metallic finishes available across the Bathrooms to Love collection – such as matt black brushed brass and anthracite – the new Brushed Bronze option presents designers with another suite of products that can be easily coordinated for a seamless look.

With a flawless brushed finish, the new PESCARA and BERIO Bronze brassware ranges boast luxurious, golden looks with warm reddish undertones that perfectly complement crisp white ceramics.

The PESCARA BRUSHED BRONZE brassware family is a tubular, round design with a curved spout and slimline lever. Available in deck mounted, wall mounted or floor standing options, this new range includes basin mixers, bath fillers, bath/shower mixers and this stunning floor standing bath/shower mixer (pictured right).

Manufactured from solid brass with single lever cartridge technology, minimum water pressures levels vary from 1.0 to 2.0 bar, depending on model.

Meanwhile, the BERIO BRUSHED BRONZE family features a more angular design with a soft square edge and slim, flattened handles and spout. This range operates on low water pressure levels—just 0.5 bar for the deck-mounted basin taps, bath filler, and bath/shower mixer—while the floor-standing bath/shower mixer requires 1.5 bar. Solid brass construction and single-lever cartridge operation also apply to the BERIO range.

Bathrooms to Love has also launched BRUSHED BRONZE click-clack basin wastes, sprung bath wastes and bottle traps, making it easy to match up metallic finishes for a professional look.

As always, Bathrooms to Love products are supported with a package of stockist sales and service benefits from leading distributor, PJH. From POS to product swatches and QR codes to AR, the brand comes with a bundle of support, including Next Day Delivery to store or home (to 93% of postcodes).

CEA CORTINA 2024 by CEADESIGN features ABACO bathroom systems

November 12, 2024

CEA CORTINA from CEADESIGN is a stunning new design and meeting space in the heart of the Ampezzo Dolomites. It is situated in the historic Gilardon area at the base of the Tofane mountains. Operating entirely on renewable energy, the building holds CasaClima A+ Nature certification, showcasing CEA’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

The bathrooms feature CEA’s ABACO system, a modular integrated solution that optimises space while ensuring elegance and efficiency. Key features include heated toilet seats, bidets, built-in storage, spacious benches, and LED lighting. The ABACO system is available in a range of finishes, including marble, wood, metal, and mineral composite, allowing for total customisation to suit any space.

At CEA CORTINA, the focus is on an innovative approach to space design that merges functionality with luxury. Each detail has been meticulously crafted to elevate the living experience, with a special emphasis on the bathroom spaces, where CEA offers the highest levels of style and performance.

The use of Castellavazzo marble, sourced from the Belluno Dolomites, unifies the interiors with its sophisticated grey-green hue. The marble is used throughout, from the entrance and kitchen flooring to the fireplaces and bathroom surfaces, enhancing the cohesive design. In the bathrooms, chromotherapy showers and a solid marble double bathtub with a hydro-massage system promote relaxation and wellness, while a cedarwood sauna and outdoor water cascade add to the sense of luxury.

Natural materials are key throughout the space. Recycled oak from 19th-century barns has been used for furnishings, wall panelling, and flooring, offering a timeless, warm aesthetic. The walls, where not clad in wood, feature a distinctive green pepper-hued lime finish, harmonising with the natural tones of the marble and wood.

The design integrates seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty; all spaces are designed with sustainability and comfort. The kitchen features a microfiltration tap for still and sparkling water, reducing bottled water consumption and enhancing convenience.

September 23, 2024

For over 60 years, Saniflo has excelled at enhancing homes and buildings with its innovative pumps and macerators. The latest offerings, Modulo and Modulo XL, enable the creation of complete bathrooms within bedrooms through two convenient all-in-one solutions. Modulo features a pod-style design with a shower and basin, while Modulo XL incorporates a shower, basin, and wall-hung WC.

These bathroom pods come with various profile and glass options, including white profiles with white glass, black profiles with black glass, and black profiles with white glass. Installation of a new en-suite can be completed in just 2 to 3 days, requiring only basic electrical access and small-bore pipework. Where waste discharge presents challenges, a Saniflo pump can be included as part of the installation package.

Both Modulo models offer a luxurious version with a sliding door shower, a chic vanity unit with a basin, and a modern towel rail, as well as a standard version featuring a curtain rail shower and a washbasin with a mixer tap. Each model is equipped with a contemporary mechanical shower valve and handset.

The bathroom pods can be positioned in a recess or corner, with a pivot door for easy access. In the shower area, a self-supporting Biocryl platform rests on height-adjustable feet, complemented by finishing plinths and opaque white glass back panels. The ceiling is crafted from white honeycomb polypropylene and includes two integrated LED spotlights. Additional features include a mirror, glass shelves, towel hook, ventilation grill, 220 V socket, and a floor mat, with all glass treated for anti-limescale properties for effortless cleaning post-installation.

Modulo and Modulo XL are perfect solutions for boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts, guest houses, modular buildings, or any homeowner looking to expand living space in a basement, garage, barn, or other external structures. They present a new opportunity for installers to deliver swift and efficient bathroom solutions to their clients.

Amanda Mills, marketing manager at Saniflo, states, “The new Modulo and Modulo XL make it easy to add a practical yet stylish en-suite to an existing bedroom. This will be particularly appealing to many small boutique hotels, bed and breakfast owners with shared bathroom facilities for guests, and domestic households needing an additional bathroom. It’s also an excellent opportunity for manufacturers of modular buildings seeking a complete bathroom solution.”
