Whilst you may have a specific interior lead idea as to the exact taps that you want to include in your bathroom, it’s important to remember that not all taps on the market will work in your home. Water pressure plays a huge role in the efficiency of your taps, and ensuring you understand both what kind of water pressure your home has, and which brassware will work inline with this, is important. 

So, what is water pressure? 

The basic principle of water pressure is a simple one, pressure is measured in “bars” and one “bar” is the equivalent to the force required to push water up to the height of 10 metres.

When we say “Smart Home,” your mind probably starts working a mile-a-minute. You probably imagine a Jetsons-like, technologically advanced home that responds to your every command.

While that concept is certainly understandable, smart homes in 2018 look less like auto-retracting walls and floors that automatically absorb messes and more like homes with convenient, easy-to-use home integration and home automation systems.

SALAMANDER Pumps has re-engineered its centrifugal range of shower, bathroom and whole house pumps, launching them under the new Right Pump label, which includes the quietest pump in the UK, and delivering a host of new benefits.

When redesigning your bathroom to reflect the latest trends it’s difficult to know where to get started. There are some really exciting trends out there which can add a luxurious feel to your bathroom. Here are some of the predictions for the year ahead.

Freestanding Baths

Having a standout feature such as a freestanding bath can really set the overall style for your bathroom and add some well-deserved luxury to your bathroom.

There is only so much creativity you can have with a standard straight white bath, whereas freestanding baths allow you to really get creative and implement some striking personality into your bathroom design from outstanding colours to eye-catching designs.
