TMV2 approved
bathing
Mira's Verve bath shower mixer now has
TMV2 certification meaning that it meets the
amendments to Part G of the Building
Regulations that set maximum temperature
limits for hot water delivered to a bath.
There are two versions of the Verve bath
shower mixer - one wall mounted and one
with deck mount connectors. Verve will work at all pressures from 0.5 to 5 bar and comes with a five-year guarantee. It
has one control for flow and temperature and a diverter for the shower.

The compact DTR70 Daytona electric towel rail from
Dimplex features DryTech technology which offers much
faster warm up than a conventional wet filled radiator.
Heat is uniformly distributed across the towel rail,
eliminating stratification and cold spots. Daytona is
available in chrome or cool white and is compatible with
Dimplex radio frequency controllers and towel rail energy
regulators. It is IPX4 rated and has a thermal cut out.

The clean fresh Pulsar range from Pegler Yorkshire has
valuable water saving features. There are three flow
positions on the basin mixer - one for brushing teeth,
one for hand wash and one to fill the basin. "In our new
ranges we have tried to respond to customer feedback
that calls for more competitive prices for designer
products," says Product Marketing Manager Mike
Dickinson. "Pulsar is the perfect example, allowing
customers facing difficult financial conditions to afford
designer style products without compromise on build
quality."

More worksurface
choices from Utopia
Luxury stone and marble worktops launched
by Utopia last autumn have been
enthusiastically received. There are three
granite and three marble options, carefully
chosen to co-ordinate with Golden Oak and
Walnut future. Imperial Marone has proved to
be the most popular choice with Star Galaxy,
a sparkling black granite coming second.
"Customers are nearly always happy to trade
up to get the look where the marble and
granite surfaces are displayed with our Timber
Collection," says Marketing Director Helen
Clark.

VitrA has a successful showing at
Ecobuild with a range of water saving
products. Eight WCs, two urinal and two
baths were on display. WCs offer 6/4 litre
flush and baths come in a 105 litre
version as well as the standard 160 litre
capacity. VitrA is committed to water
saving and has water saving products
right across its ranges.

Built into T80Z and T70Z electric showers, Triton's
reversible Swiv-let™ water inlet is designed to take the
hassle out of retrofit jobs. The Swiv-let tackles the
problem of water connections being on a different side,
especially when replacing an existing shower. Pipe
work can then be fixed from the right hand bottom or
back, or left-hand side top, bottom or back as needed.
Multiple electric entry points add to the flexibility of the
T80Z and T70Z ranges and help to cover existing screw
holes without the need for re-tiling. The BEAB approved
Z Uni-Fit kit also extends wiring where needed.
Removable pipe entry trims reduce on site cutting and
generous working room makes carrying out necessary
connections and fixings simple.

In the Mood
New from the Moods Signature Collection is
Sigma, a contemporary designer style bathroom
that cleverly blends curves and straight lines.
There's a good selection of sanitaryware in the
range including full and semi pedestal basins, a
compact semi-ped basin and a countertop basin.
The WC is available in close coupled and wall
mounted formats.

THE PRICE
WAS WRONG . . .
Apologies to Robert Lee for making
their Hydro sliding door quad seem an
ever bigger bargain than it really was
(Bathroom Journal, February). The
price for this still pretty unbelievable
offer was actually £99, not £90 as we
stated - still a cracking good deal
though!

The simple and stylish walk in panel enclosure from the Design View
range by Simpsons is a good choice for a contemporary bathroom.
Panels are available in 1100, 1200 and 1400mm sizes and are
1950mm high. All models are available with ClearShield glass
protection. Walk in 900 by 1400 and 800 by 1700mm trays are
available from Simpsons and sister brand Crosswater has designed the
Aim thermostatic shower column to co-ordinate with this enclosure.
