  6. Comparing Vented and Unvented Hot Water Cylinders

    As hot water systems continue to advance, homeowners are faced with a variety of options for water heating. Two main types of hot water cylinders are vented and unvented, which differ in their methods of supplying hot water.

  7. Corner Toilet Buying Guide

    Corner Toilets are one of our favourite products here at Designer Bathroom Store and are a product which many of our customers don’t even know exist. A lot of the time, we introduce these products when we chat to customers who are looking to refurbish, or re-fit a small bathroom, en-suite or cloakroom – and want maximum usability from appliances which take up minimum floor space.

    Corner Toilets are the ideal product for the above situation and have been designed especially for use in smaller bathrooms or cloakrooms. They all feature a cistern which is triangular in shape at the back, which allows it to be installed in any corner of the room where two walls meet. This not only saves floor space, but can mean the difference between installing a shower unit, and other bathroom furniture or not.
