Bathroom Styling – Second Quarter 2011 RSS

Posted in Tiling & Flooring on Apr 14

What will the bathroom of this summer turn out to be? For what will Bath Fitters in London be quoting this time? Will it be for virginal white victorian bathtubs on four heavy legs Bathroom Stylingagain? Oh, how yesterday-ish, the modern dreamers say. Today is about light, brightness and the illusion of space. Perhaps you do not agree. Perhaps I do not either. Nevertheless, let us at least listen to what they are trying to tell us. We might learn something too.

Perhaps one should rather Find a Bath Fitter to create a symphony of reflective mirrors, granite tops and white cabinetry. Across a broad mosaic floor, a shower could accommodate a pair of lovers easily. And everywhere bright, glorious light filtering naturally through the ceiling with a glimpse of plants through a window beyond?

Perhaps not. Perhaps a bathroom is a more serious place where we go to do our business. No time for lingering here. Just teutonic space efficiency – modern white fittings offset by sober dark wood cabinets.

Bathroom StylingMaybe a bathroom is a lover’s tryst. An open wet room where no secrets hide. An extension to the bedroom where more exciting things await. Why hide your charms behind closed doors, some people say.

Personally, I think that a bathroom should be an extension of the outside environment. A private garden or a view across the Bay of Capri – such as the one designed by an architectural genius to the right. No matter how little I can afford, I should still like to be able to lie back in a bath and connect with nature.

I for one am going to Get Bathroom Fitter Quotes the instant that I win the Lotto. How about you? Will you be doing that too? In the meantime happy dreaming, for of such small things are the sweetest dreams made.

Window Inspirations RSS

Posted in Window & Door Fitting on Oct 30

In some older houses, window frames take up a lot of space and can even end up obscuring views. This is a hangover from days when windows were lintels, and architects were more interested in external impressions than the comfort of the occupants inside. Why this remained the fashion for so long is more a subject for sociologists, however suffice it so say that modern aluminium windows and sliding doors make bringing views indoors a fairly easy matter.

Houses and apartments occupied by older people who grew conservative as they aged often hang with lacy curtains that have turned them into musty dingy homes. Most potential homebuyers turn around and walk away from these – the smarter ones draw curtains aside and look for views. When they discover spectacular opportunities, it is time for them to get window fitter quotes to find out what may be possible.

One of the great benefits of extruded aluminium doors and windows is that they can be made to absolutely any size down to the nearest millimeter (if doing the job yourself do as window fitters in London do, and leave a little leeway all way round for the window to slide in when you measure).

The results of window replacements can be spectacular to say the least. Plate glass is at least as robust as even wooden window frames once were, and provides intrusion protection in itself. This means that it is possible to revel in sheer expanses of strong glass, instead of peering through lace curtains.

Although in theory any skilled person can replace a window, most homeowners prefer to find a window fitter to do the job for them. This is because disaster looms when the old window is out, the new one does not fit, and cold rainy weather comes.
